Todd Akin: Hillary Clinton ‘hypocritical’
Politico ^ | SARAH SMITH

Former congressman and Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin on Wednesday called Hillary Clinton “hypocritical” for defending an accused child rapist in 1975.

“It is incredibly hypocritical that Hillary Clinton would carry on about an imagined ‘Republican war on women’ when she once got a child rapist off the hook who she knew to be guilty, and laughed about how she did it when interviewed,” Akin told the Daily Mail in an interview published Wednesday. “In the process, she delegitimized the legitimate claims of the 12-year-old victim and then slandered the victim to justify her tactics.”

Akin's book will be more popular than Hilary's.

I hope he writes about Tokyo Rove's death threat.

Rove has done more for the democrats than he ever could for republicans. I wish his clown show would just fade away.

Thanks Todd. Hope you sleep well at night knowing you handed a Senate seat to McCas-KILL.

Good job, bro!

Keeping the abortion juices flowing, and all.

Akin is an uber ignorant weasel.

Thanks to his colossal ignorance (which he chose to streak on the airwaves), and also his intransigent and self-serving stupidity in not abandoning his campaign in order to let a proper candidate take over, we lost a critical senate seat.

When the left gets a hold of Mister Akin's criticism of Hillary, they will use Mister Akin's undeniable stupidity as a foil to protect Hillary. Akin does not help us by trying to be on our side. He is (metaphorically) toxic.

I think he only cost at best 2 seats. He got Tokyo Rove to make a death threat. That hurt Tokyo Rove’s reputation as a cool head.

It also helped Steve King become the anti-Rove who was leading the opposition against amnesty. Rove made a huge mistake attacking King in terms of the amnesty agenda. He made King a face of opposition to Rove.

His specific Conservative Victory Project failed to raise. The only thing Rove did was help Tillis a bit. Tillis may have still won the primary.

King was never running for Senate. He just did to annoy Rove and build up his profile more and defend his friend Todd Akin.
