Very Convenient, that you didn't comment on Akin's "magic uterus" theory, I.E: the female reproductive system shuts down during rape.
It is clear from the context that Akin intended legitimate to mean actual, not acceptable.

viciously misquoting people, and INVENTING words,
is what LIBERALS do.
Akin NEVER said “magic uterus” or anything close.
-
under extreme stress, a woman’s reproductive system basically does shut down.
(ever had a girlfriend who’s period was late, because of stress ?!? ...and rape, certainly is stress !)
-
...if you’d spend as much time, helping a good honest conservative, defend McCaskill, who is 1000 times worse,
than Akin, he might still be able to win.
MOST of the worst, most unfair attacks on him,
are coming from “conservative” MEN.
And where do you find that in those words of his??? You are sounding like a DU operative.
That accusation against Akin is false. Akin actually said "...the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." But even Akin admitted in the next sentence that pregnancy from rape could happen, yet even then he concluded that "the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.
So where in his statements does Akin deserve castration by Karl Rove's lynch mob?!?
Perhaps the rage against what Akin said is explained by this excerpt from "Cowed by Political Correctness":
"Beneath all the hysterical extrapolations from his [Akin's] remark, which grew wilder and wilder as the days passed, lay that essential demand: approve of killing unborn children conceived under circumstances of rape or be deemed 'anti-woman'.
"This culture of hectoring explains why Mitt Romney rushed to the cameras upon hearing Akins remark to pronounce abortion in those cases appropriate. In a rotten culture, proof of ones civilized bona fides comes from such shameless pandering."
"An authentically conservative party would find Romneys unprincipled position far more chilling than Akins gaffe. If unborn children gain or lose their right to life depending upon the circumstances of their conception, then the party has already conceded that that right doesnt exist."
