"Legitimate Rape" comment now OK with Republicans?

[dalem]

"Legitimate rape" was taken out of context by the liberal left.

What Akin meant was an act of real rape, as in sex without consent, rather than a consensual sex where a party later accused another of it not being a consensual act.

Here's a local high school kid who was imprisoned for 6 years before the girl admitted that it was a consensual act.

Just type in "girl retracts rape claim" into any search engine and you'll see hundreds of news stories about a girl accused a guy of rape and later admitted it was consensual. That, folks, is not a "legitimate rape."

Sure, I get that. But the comment about the uterus knowing the difference was sheer crap.

I agree with you, and am not arguing about that part.

What I have a problem with is the phrase "legitimate rape" taken out of context.

Big fucking deal. Remember these guys? Do you really want to go pol for pol?

Do us all a favor and drop the pious holier-than-thou finger pointing.

There is no question that Democrats have sinned...long, hard, and often. That does not mean someone can't point out that the other side is just as bad. What is telling is that historically once a gaff of this nature is out in public ,republicans have shunned the offender. Today many key republicans are rushing to back this ass clown up...just like a page out of the democrat's play book. Two sides of the same coin.

Funny thing the Vice President can accuse Republicans of wanting to put blacks in chains, and the president can call people who don't agree with him dead enders desperately clinging to God and Guns..... But a single dumbass republican candidate trumps the blatant racism in the White House....

Here is a difference. The ass clown that said a uterus can "stop the process" of getting pregnant is also of the same party that wants to end all abortions even in cases of rape. Although many in congress are drooling for another round of anti gun legislation its just not going to happen. In fact Obama, the better tanned ass clown, has been quite reserved despite the shootings of recent history.Even when he had mastery of the congress no sweeping gun control was shoved down our throats was there? The story I read was that about 50% of the audience was black and the quote was "They're going to put y'all back in chains" It was also a derivative of Bohner's "unshackling of the private sector...." and some forms of "shackled" have been used since by both sides. Keep in mind too that if you learn ANYTHING about politics you should know that it is the VP's job to say inflammatory remarks to draw off attention from the big guy.

I have no problem with the GOP being shown up as the lowlifes that that they are...but dmwnc could at least have the moral honesty to admit the same is very much true of the Dems.

Never denied it either. And YES, Democrats have had their 'lowlifes' too.

Big fucking deal. Remember these guys? Do you really want to go pol for pol?

Do us all a favor and drop the pious holier-than-thou finger pointing.

Democrats aren't the ones running around professing to upholding and protecting traditional marriage, preaching family values, and holding the Bible in one hand while thumping hookers and their staffers wives with the other.

TPM: Republicans

"Republicans want to win control of the Senate, and they say it’s hard to see a path to that goal without Missouri. So, held noses or not, they’re signaling a readiness to give Akin a boost. On Friday, Akin got two more pieces of national good news. Former Missouri Sens. Kit Bond and Jim Talent reversed course and endorsed him, and RNC chair Reince Priebus signaled his group might do the same.

Akin’s not making it easy for national Republicans to sign on with his continued incendiary remarks. He went viral yet again Friday with his public opposition to the concept of equal pay laws.

Here is a difference. The ass clown that said a uterus can "stop the process" of getting pregnant is also of the same party that wants to end all abortions even in cases of rape.

Here is the actual wording of the 2012 GOP plank,

“Faithful to the ‘self-evident’ truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed,” said the draft platform language approved Tuesday, which was first reported by CNN. “We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children.”

I don't agree with it, but I sure wish more politicians would pursue the constitutional amendment route vs executive order, presidential degree, presidential directive ad nauseum.

Although many in congress are drooling for another round of anti gun legislation its just not going to happen. In fact Obama, the better tanned ass clown, has been quite reserved despite the shootings of recent history.Even when he had mastery of the congress no sweeping gun control was shoved down our throats was there?

In part becuase of the blue dogs

The story I read was that about 50% of the audience was black and the quote was "They're going to put y'all back in chains" It was also a derivative of Bohner's "unshackling of the private sector...." and some forms of "shackled" have been used since by both sides.

Even a black governor and black politicians were taken aback by it, they knew exactly what Biden was implying.

Keep in mind too that if you learn ANYTHING about politics you should know that it is the VP's job to say inflammatory remarks to draw off attention from the big guy.

BS, it is not the VP or POTUS job to race bait.

You should consider helping AM defend Pakistan, he needs a hand.

dmwnc1959,

No they are the ones running around claiming they stand for civil rights. Well except for freedom of religion (making Catholics fund abortions), freedom of speech- hammering the "the film inspired the attack" narrative, due process (killing Americans with drone strikes), the right of contract (Chrysler/GM bailouts)....

He went viral yet again Friday with his public opposition to the concept of equal pay laws.

That is becuase by and large for most sectors of the American economy when the actually hours worked are controlled for there is almost no gap. And its not just hours worked, but skill sets possessed. Identical mid-career path jobs, average man and average woman, the man has been at the job longer and thus knows more and is more valuable. By and large huge numbers of women leave the work force to have children.

All this, and from the most honorable Republican Party that campaigned on "Jobs. Jobs, Jobs", and by that I mean abortion:



All this focus on anything but job creation by Republicans at the national and state levels: Personhood Amendments, cutting funding to Planned Parenthood, mandatory ultrasound laws...

"States have enacted a record number of state laws restricting abortion in 2011...(where) in the first six months of this year, there have been 80 state laws that restrict abortion.

The number of laws passed is more than double the number of laws in any previous year (the previous record was 34 restrictions in 2005). Many of these laws included multiple restrictions on abortion, resulting in over 100 new policies designed to lower abortion in the states.

Overall, 19 states have enacted some restriction on abortion. The most common restriction was to limit abortion coverage in health plans that will be offered in the health exchanges (eight states). These exchanges are part of President Obama’s health insurance reform passed last year. Other popular changes included bans on the use of telemedicine, changing abortion reporting rules, and requiring a fetal ultrasound before performing an abortion."

"Geographically, most of the restrictions occurred in the band of states between the rockies and the Mississippi River. Indiana, Kansas, North Dakota, Utah, and Nebraska enacted major provisions to restrict abortion. Few restrictions were enacted on the Pacific coast or New England.

The reason for the geographic pattern is the parties that control the legislatures. After the 2010 election, Republicans made gains in most states; the Democratic Party lost legislatures and governorships in many states. Abortion restrictions were much more likely to pass in states where Republicans controlled both the legislature and the governorship. Republican states were 10 times as likely to enact a law restricting abortion than a Democratic state. GOP states were four times as likely to do so than states with divided government."

Sure wish they had focused on job creation as they have with their laser focus on abortion. Hell, they even threatened to shutdown the US Government over funding to Planned Parenthood.

Where are the jobs? Ask the Republicans. They sure know where they have spent the majority of their time.

Their first bill in 2011 (H.R. 1) wasn't a Job's Bill, it was for defunding Planned parenthood.
The next one (H.R. 2) was to Repeal ObamaCare (which they have tried to do 32 more times since)
H.R.3 : No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act

See a pattern?

They are the ones that've been running round claiming to abhor extraordinary rendition, imprisonment without trial, declaring war on other nations and state sanctioned murder of their own citizens for no other reason than what they might do.

But wait...........

Funny how the state of persistent war and terrorism changes things. At least it's in defense of the country, and not satisfying some carnal desire.

non sequitur. It seems you are willing to grant that "in defense of the country" confers some wiggle room in folks' actions. Were you supportive of the Bush administrations' employment of the extreme policies pari listed?

You know, the funny thing is that outside the USA none of this would be relevant for a politician.

See Silvio Berlusconi as a prominent example.

italy is the exception

and he doubles down with she was unladylike in the debate. He is an anachrnism and embarrassing. Sometimes power trumps principles as is the case with anyone in the 21st century supporting him and claiming he is not hostile to woman in the public sphere
