    Yeah, this is the exception that proves the rule. The comments at TPM will make your day.

    it's funny to watch the reactions of myopic libs when they discover that not everyone (heck, at the very least a plurality, and perhaps even a majority doesn't) agrees with their opinions on various issues. so convinced you all seem to be of the "rightness" of your opinions.
    but if it makes you all feel better, these people who disagree with you are all either stupid or want to enslave women and take away all their rights.

    or better yet, they all probably had some issues with understanding that "no means no" sometimes in their sordid past, right Sport Billy? :D

    maybe she's someone who's proudly carrying her rapefetus to term for the Cause, determined its future gender and has awarded it adult status ("woman" instead of "girl"). best explanation i can come up with. still kinda funny.

    For the same reason the British anti-porn campaigner, Mary Whitehouse's, original name for 'The National Viewers and Listeners Association', (the NVLA), was allegedly the 'Clean-Up' National Television' campaign,... until someone pointed out the obvious...

    These people don't think this shit through.

    I saw a bumper sticker this morning that said "Uppity Women Unite." I'm guessing that's not a sentiment Akin could get behind.

    Todd Akin reminds me of the sexist, borderline racist relative you avoid during the holidays. The one that doesn't realize how uncomfortable the room gets when he spouts his opinion on immigration. No matter the subject he will bring up the topic of women, gays or latinos...or all three.

    November can't come fast enough.

    not everyone can be as enlightened in their opinions on these matters as you all. don't be too harsh. it's not their fault.
