The R Does Not Stand for Rape

[midnightranter]

In what can only be called an effort to torpedo his own campaign, Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), running for the Senate in Missouri said that "legitimate rape" leads to "the female body [trying] to shut that whole thing down." Comments are here and the video of the morning show he said this on is available here. Yes, he said that women who are raped rarely

I honestly was not aware there was such a thing as "Trig Truthers". How bizarre.

There aren't many of them, but there are enough that they've had to be addressed. There are people who point at all kinds of "imaginary dog that didn't bark" kind of evidence, such as a lack of photographs of a pregnant Palin. When they do show up, the deniers then point out they weren't there before so they were obviously faked. They're also asking for bizarre documents to "prove" their case. I heard about them during the election until Bristol announced she was pregnant (which made it mathematically impossible for her to be the mother of Trig, which is the big theory). Yeah, they're out there and the unconvinced by logic or reason.

Which makes them like everyone I see talking about politics these days.
