In other words, what you’re saying is that whenever the left bombards us with accusations driven by political correctness, we should join them in the assault against our own.

If I meant to say that I would’ve said that.

If I was being uncharitable towards your position, I’d make a mockery of it like you did. I.e., “so we can just run stupid people who can’t talk as long as they have principles?”

The Biblical admonition for the Rev. Akin is to be as wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove. I think he failed in that. We’re not going to get the rules changed for us. And we don’t have to change our positions. But we have to be smart enough to communicate them.

Let’s be clear. The interviewer is a known quantity here in St. Louis. He’s somewhere to the left of Stalin. He’s had frequent almost violent confrontations with Tea Partiers. For Akin to walk into that interview without a good answer for the abortion question he had to know was coming is simply inexcusable for a career politician. No ifs, ands, or buts.
