Someone’s in trouble now: Rep Todd Akin just pissed off a group of Grannies

Someone’s in trouble now: Rep Todd Akin just pissed off a group of Grannies
August 24, 2012

By Anomaly
Well now he’s gone and done it. Rep. Todd Akin — as if he hasn’t done enough harm — has now pissed off a chorus of grannies. The Renegade Raging Grannies read of Akin’s misogynistic remarks over what he deemed as ‘legitimate rape,’ and they broke out in song, with a big ‘fuck you’ finale for Todd.

well done Grannies

They are sincere and genuine and are always where the action is. In Washington they opened the Occupy event, they were the first on the stage for the event. They are too cool.

“Legitimate rape” is great birth control.
So says Todd Akin, and he oughta know.
If we are raped we can rest unafraid,
‘Cause we can’t get pregnant if forcibly laid.

Our female bodies are clever that way,
We only get pregnant when we say “okay.”
Doctors have told him, so it must be so,
The stork only comes if we don’t say “No!”

Rape won’t make babies and that is a fact;
There’s no global warming; the Earth’s really flat.
We heard it on FOX News so it must be true.
Well, Mr. Akin, we say “FUCK YOU!”

communicate normally very well, or they've lost the argument and resort to juvenile retorts, "Yeah, well...your mama wears army boots! Take that!"
