Todd Akin: Forget the Pregnant Raped Women. I am the one being Attacked!

August 24th, 2012 | Posted by Jim Cook in Election 2012 | Politics | Republicans | Sex and Gender

Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin on the thirty-two thousand American women who get pregnant from rape each year: those thirty-two thousand women must not have really been attacked, because in a “legitimate rape” women don’t get pregnant, because, well, they just don’t.

Todd Akin Campaign Button: 32,000 Raped Pregnant Women and I'm the Victim, Todd Akin for SenateRepublican Senate candidate Todd Akin on himself, being criticized for claiming the above: a “systematic attack”“fight back against the liberal elite who continue their attacks. Stand with me.”

Stand with me. Me, me, me. I, I, I am a victim of an attack when people say they don’t like what I’ve said. But 32,000 women who get pregnant from rape each year haven’t been attacked, because it’s not a “legitimate rape.”

That’s the platform of Todd Akin for Senate. Don’t let this callous, self-centered jerk get within 30 feet of a United States Senate seat.

    Not a legitimate campaign tactic… more like the misstep that will let Claire McCaskill shut him down.

  • Bill says:

    Well, if it’s a legitimate attack then Akin should be fine…the political system has a way of shutting that whole thing down.

  • Tom says:

    Hey, let’s keep participating in this “government” that spies on us NO MATTER WHICH party is in power!

    NSA Whistleblower Details How The NSA Has Spied On All US Citizens Since 9/11

    National Security Agency whistleblower William Binney explains how the secretive agency run its pervasive domestic spying apparatus in a new piece by Laura Poitras in The New York TImes.

    Binney—one of the best mathematicians and code breakers in NSA history—worked for the Defense Department’s foreign signals intelligence agency for 32 years before resigning in late 2001 because he “could not stay after the NSA began purposefully violating the Constitution.”

    In a short video called “The Program,” Binney explains how the agency took part of one of the programs he built and started using it to spy on virtually every U.S. citizen without warrants under the code-name Stellar Wind.

    Binney details how the top-secret surveillance program, the scope of which has never been made public, can track electronic activities—phone calls, emails, banking and travel records, social media—and map them to collect “all the attributes that any individual has” in every type of activity and build a profile based on that data.

    “So that now I can pull your entire life together from all those domains and map it out and show your entire life over time,” Binney says.
