You didn't address my point that AKIN SAID SOMETHING UNBELIEVABLY STUPID ALL BY HIMSELF. No one took him out of context or tricked him, or invented what he said. He was made to look stupid by himself and all by himself, he got the badge given him the old fashioned way, he earned it.
Most conservatives asked him to leave the race, it wasn't the gope pulling the idiocy like with Cochran, it was Akin's stubborn refusal to see what a fool he had made of himself that lost it for him.
