Have never been an Akin supporter, I even chided his stupid comments about the rape issue but, he did not call her a dog, he was just using what some who know a little about the English language called an analogy. Basically, if the shoe fits, wear it, and she does quite well. Especially when you take the entire quote in its full context.

So, what exactly is it that you disagree with on the point he was making?

I am warming the fact that he says it like he means it, unlike those we already know of like McConnell and Boehnor.

Why are the only two alternatives the ones you point out? Is Allen West conservative enough for you? Ever see him make such a stupid analogy? There are some things you stay away from and this guy manages to keep making the wrong choice on verbiage. You are being elected to the Senate; it means you are representing ALL Missourians. It’s tough enough to win a Senate election as is (see George Allen, Macaca as an example). After fighting all the way back he tempts a loss with this comment.

His point was valid, but comparing women to dogs (in any context) just gives more ammunition to those who say he is insensitive to women. Akin may be conservative, but he talks before he thinks—he is not a sharp guy.
