DU men, how about starting some visible feedback to National Review to push back on their

"real men don't have daughters" crap. Say something that says "This man has a daughter, and he votes" or "Because I have a daughter, I will not vote Republican," for example. Same thing concerning just women in general. All men have at least a mother in their lives, if not sisters or a wife or aunts and grandmothers.

I think we women could use a strong burst of visible support out there right now. Whatever you want to say, but just say it.

They can't get away with that gratuitous slam. There's nothing much else to pump about their loser candidate Mitt other than that he produces sperm!

Of course they can

I predicted the day after Akin's declaration that the Repukes would within a few days adopt his filth as a talking point, and would reap even more votes with it. Here it is right on schedule.

The most depressing part is that there are still some at DU who think that this will somehow backfire on the Repukes. Sometimes ours is the side that suffers from terminal stupidity.
