It's like when you need to drink and drive, you can just crap out the booze.

Rape victims can just crap out the semen. It works!

[Metrotab]

Just to be sure, he's completely wrong, right? I've never heard of such processes before.

[GaimeGuy]

Alright I'll backpedal and say I want to change the school lunches but not destroy the program.

okay, and what's your proposition?

Don't say you want to get rid of the national school lunch program. Say you want to replace/improve the national school lunch program by doing __________

when you say you're in favor of getting rid of the national school lunch program, you're saying you're in favor of not feeding kids. So say what you mean, and mean what you say. I hop eyou're not backpedalling just for the sake of not appearing like an asshole.

Todd Akin hasn't been elected for anything but a chance to run against McCaskill for Senate

William Todd Akin (born July 5, 1947) is the U.S. Representative for Missouri's 2nd congressional district, serving since 2001. He is a member of the Republican Party.

[Seguin]

He's currently leading by eight points in the polls. Would be nice to see that change.

People that already are against abortion and/or support him won't care about these stupid comments though

NomarTyme is a paleo guy so I'm pretty sure he's just talking about the contents of the actual lunch and misinterpreted his comments.

[CrushDance]

Only liberals would argue against this.

[Forever]

They'll probably agree.

God I wish we had a sane, secular, not-racist conservative party in this country. Is that too much to ask for, America?

[animlboogy]

How about we go ahead and feed kids real actual food and not just pray for miscarriages? Does that sound like a world we can all agree on living in?

Of are we gonna keep electing people who want our kids to learn about how dragons were real?

[HocusPocus]

Abortion rights and rape seem like an odd discussion to argue a point no matter what side of the argument you are on.

[Jackson50]

32,101 rape related pregnancies per year.

Those weren't legitimate rapes.

[Grover Cleveland]

I'm not sure he has a full understanding of what rape is. Sounds like he should go sit in on a sex ed class.

And what the hell is legitimate rape?

Remind me never to drive through that part of Missouri.

Somebody made a thread asking why GAF is so liberal. Maybe that's because any sane person would have a hard fucking time identifying himself with a party that accepts and even embraces such absolutely terrifying people.

[animlboogy]

Shoulda prayed harder to crap out the semen. These women need to read a biology textbook and/or the bible.

Typical left leaning GAF.

Legitimate rape is the rape that can be shutdown.

Legitimate rape is rape where the woman didn't secretly want it.

[Bombadil]

They'll probably agree. God I wish we had a sane, secular, not-racist conservative party in this country. Is that too much to ask for, America?

Since a conservative policy would not help us through the economic crisis, I think it's decidedly convenient for the wrong economic policies to be highly correlated with batshit people.

[animlboogy]

Legitimate rape is rape where the woman didn't secretly want it.

Or when she wasn't just inviting attention by how she was dressed, because goddamn her tits look so good in that sweater.

[Ninja Scooter]

He is basically saying that women can't get pregnant unless they are horny, so, in essence, pregnancy occurring in rapes aren't legitimate rapes because the women were into it. He's a moron.

[GaimeGuy]

A quote like what he said above should get you run out of politics.

But it doesn't.

It's perfectly okay for a political candidate in the US to say that if you are raped and become pregnant, you were not really raped. You must have wanted it.


Scares the crap out of me

[789shadow]

[Reuenthal]

Fucking stupid. How can one's brain let them reach those views how does one even think that way.

[FyreWulff]

It's even worse when you realize that not only does he believe the body tells the difference between rape semen and non-rape semen, but that he's straight up saying that women that got pregnant off a rape are lying that it was a rape.

This is a person that thought this and at no point did his brain go "nope"

[SquiddyCracker]

Rep. Todd Akin, the Republican nominee for Senate in Missouri who is running against Sen. Claire McCaskill, justified his opposition to abortion rights even in case of rape with a claim that victims of “legitimate rape” have unnamed biological defenses that prevent pregnancy. “First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV in an interview posted Sunday. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Akin said that even in the worst-case scenario — when the supposed natural protections against unwanted pregnancy fail — abortion should still not be a legal option for the rape victim.

Everyone voting this man in are worthless in my eyes.

[marrec]

WOAH! Do not take him out of context now.

He's just saying it wasn't legitimate rape is all.

[Oblivion]

So where was liberal gaf when David Letterman joked about Willow Palin being raped?

Exactly. CRICKETS.

[CrushDance]

Typical left leaning GAF.

Well maybe he's right? If the women were to lean to the right, maybe the semen will fall out?????

[chaosblade]

I wasn't going to reply here, but yeah, this was my exact reaction. The turning around part and everything.

I don't even have anything constructive to add. Just... what the hell?

[789shadow]

So where was liberal gaf when David Letterman joked about Bristol Palin being raped? Exactly. CRICKETS.

David Letterman was a comedian making a joke, this guy is running for office.

Bad Republican! Bad!

When people elect David Letterman to the position of Senator you can have a point.

[Bombadil]

David Letterman is a late night talk show host. He is not a politician. His views do not dictate policy.

He was making that joke in response to Palin's own description of her sexual encounter with her husband.

Are you being serious or sarcastic because I can't tell?

[marrec]

So where was liberal gaf when David Letterman joked about Willow Palin being raped? Exactly. CRICKETS.

I love when people respond to their own questions in the same post.

It makes it much easier to laugh at you.

[Devolution]

Oh awesome a new rape qualifier from the republicans. Because rape isn't rape unless it's legitimate rape. What happened to forcible?

I think some birth defects/conditions can cause that to occur, but yes, this is completely insane re: births resulting from rape.

[H.Protagonist]

Every day there seems to be some fresh new horror from these guys. There is no gif eloquent enough to express my feelings. Admirable efforts from all those posted, though.

[ivysaur12]

Time to give to McCaskill's campaign.

[animlboogy]

So where was liberal gaf when David Letterman joked about Willow Palin being raped? Exactly. CRICKETS.

That is seriously the best you have? Edgy comedian makes a joke (that a lot of people DID get offended by) versus a guy with actual sway over policy expressing borderline mentally ill perspectives on what happens after a woman is raped?

And to get that best shot out that you could, you actually had to skip back a rape controversy or two ago, conveniently forgetting the collective outrage of the Daniel Tosh incident?

Sorry, buddy. You're just making your side look even more petty on top of how batshit insane this politician makes you look.

[marrec]

Oh god they aren't even trying are they?

[Dead Man]

So can people please stop with the claims of victimhood when people insult the Republican party? They get successful in the party by saying the stupidest shit imaginiable.

He also wants to eliminate the National School Lunch Program

FFS. So many people depend on that.
