No stupid, he was attacked for being a blithering idiot.

Mike Huckabee Says Todd Akin Was Attacked For Being A Christian

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 7/7/2014 10:35 am

WorldNetDaily runs a glowing profile today of failed Senate candidate Todd Akin’s new book — which WND just so happens to be publishing — including plaudits from Mike Huckabee, Oliver North and WND editor Joseph Farah. According to Huckabee, Akin was the victim of a conspiracy by Democrats, the media and “establishment Republicans” to silence good, decent, conservative Christians and take away their freedoms. Huckabee, who campaigned aggressively for Akin, tells WND that criticism of Akin was “destructive to the country we care so deeply about.” Although Akin attempted to apologize for his infamous “legitimate rape” remark during his campaign, he now says that nothing he said was wrong and insists he was attacked for simply trying to promote biblical values in politics.

1. Blithering idiot and Christian can sometimes be interchangeable terms.

Especially when talking about people like Huckleberry and Akin

[COLGATE4]

6. It's no accident that the word 'cretin' comes from

the word for Christian in French.

2. I almost forgot all about Akin and his “legitimate rape” remark

and there you go bringing it up all over again, lol.

3. The "attack" was self-inflicted...

... when he opened his mouth and utter ignorant bullshit came out.
A real attack would be throwing him to the lions... which I wouldn't be opposed to.

4. I'm convinced they will never learn/understand "separation of church and state"...

If you look back over the last 6-8 years or so, this teeny, minor point has caused more hatred and misery than probably any other.

Instead of being honest and helpful citizens, they are bigoted, hateful and mean..., just plain evil.

Did I miss something in Sunday School class? What comes out of their mouths would never enter my brain. Either religion has done a complete turn-around or my memory is playing tricks on me. The way they act isn't how I was raised and/or taught to act.

5. *for being an idiot.

Fixed.

7. Huckabee's an idiot, too, so of course he wouldn't recognize Akin as a fool.

[Thinkingabout]

8. I am a Christian but I dont go out saying a woman's body can shut down and not get pregnant.

If this was true then we could do away with birth control and just shut down. I am amazed he thought this but to say this out loud was even worse.

9. Those oppressed Christians

When will anyone ever step up for them as they simply can't get by being so oppressed by the atheists who run the nation.

[B Calm]

12. but they love telling the world how persecuted they are. . .

10. Akin was attack becasue he is A Woman hater

Akin is a sick twisted old man, he not a Christian, he condoned rape
of women, and is against women's sexually freedom. He was
attacked because he said something stupid!!

[IggleDoer]

11. So .... are Hucklebee and North agreeing with Akin?

Do they agree that there is such a thing as a "legitimate rape" and an "illegitimate rape."

The stupid runneth over.

[merrily]

13. I thought he was attacked for strongly implying that

women often make false accusations about rape and also for his idiocy in claiming that pregnancy cannot result from a "real" rape.

But, it was really an attack on his religion?

I miss all the subtleties. I feel so silly.
