Haley Barbour trashed Akin and yet he has made some racial comments that were not favorable to the GOP. This is just one of many.
Barbour Reprimanded His Campaign Aide For Using A Racist Remark At A Campaign Event By Warning Him That If He “Persisted In Racist Remarks, He Would Be Reincarnated As A Watermelon And Placed At The Mercy Of Blacks.”
George W. Bush and one of many gaffes... "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." --Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004 (Watch video clip)
Scott Brown is another one critical of Akin but this is absolutely absurd and he repeated it more than once.
Brown recently said in a radio interview that he had "secret meetings with kings and queens and prime ministers and business leaders and military leaders" every day. His office later issued a clarification saying that he "misspoke" when he referenced "kings and queens."
Two of many gaffes by McCain and regarding women..did anyone in the National Republican Party with hold funds for his campaign?
"Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father." --at a 1998 Republican fundraiser
"Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die? When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, 'Where is that marvelous ape?'" --a joke McCain reportedly told during his first Senate race in 1986
I am not ‘defending’ them - I am stating the facts.
Those gaffes are also not about rape. The one from Bush is especially ridiculous for you to try to compare to this.
But unecessary - this person is just another loud-mouth who doesn't even live here but is oh-so-convinced they have all of the answers. They have no credibility whatsoever as far as matters concerning our state are concerned. This place is full of keyboard warriors, doncha' know...
