Legitimate rapes don't cause pregnancies?

I stand by my assertion that the fringe on the right is currently much more influential in today's political environment the the fringe on the right.

The tea baggers agitated against raising the debt ceiling thus leading to a default on us sovereign debt. They were instrumental in bringing the country to the brink of economic disaster and would have if they could have. That alone is enough to understand what the tea party is about and how their fringe and inflexible ideological beliefs are a very real threat to the well being of this country.

If you don't think the Dems have their share then you obviously never visited an Occupy Movement camp.

Any Occupy Movement protestors in Congress? Any self-identified Tea partiers in Congress? Democrats have their share, but they are not in positions of power.

They used to call themselves tea baggers, until they found out funnier connotation. They even used to hang tea bags from hats they were wearing.

So what I said wasn't accurate? The tea baggers were behind a movement NOT to raise the debt ceiling which WOULD have lead a default of US sovereign debt, which WOULD have been an unprecedented economic disaster. If they had their way, this chain of events WOULD have occurred. Fortunately, sane, rational people intervened to avert it.

I've not insulted anyone here, not called anyone names, just asserted an opinion one I believe is backed by the clear evidence. You, on the other hand, retreated to the first resort of a child--name calling.

You tell me to grow up but you rage and insult people like a schoolboy bully while offering nothing in substance in response.

If one of us needs to grow up, it's you my friend.

Yeah, I figured someone would catch that. I meant "I stand by my assertion that the fringe on the right is currently much more influential in today's political environment the the fringe on the left." Not a Freudian slip but a simple typo. Mea culpa.

There's a lot of stupid people out there.

That's a flat out lie.

As a politician, I often find myself in situations where, unfortunately, I express a certain thought or idea poorly, or find my words taken out of context. Indeed, that is what happened this weekend. Upon reviewing the impromptu remarks I made Sunday afternoon, I can now see that I used the wrong words in the wrong way. I would now like to set the record straight with the American people and clear up some confusion about what it was I intended to convey.

You see, what I said was, “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” But what I meant to say was, “I am a worthless, moronic sack of **** and an utterly irredeemable human being who needs to shut up and go away forever.”

It is clear to me now that I did not choose my words with care and did not get across the point I was trying to convey. In hindsight, I guess instead of using the words “legitimate rape,” I should have used the words “I am an unforgivable, unrepentant, and unconscionable subhuman dickhead.” Or better yet, “I am an evil, ****ed-up man who should never have been elected to the United States Congress, and anyone who would vote for me is probably a pretty big ****ing dumb****, too.” See how much more sense that makes? It’s amazing how a few key word changes can totally alter the meaning of a statement.

Because, of course, it’s all about context. And yes, when you take what I said out of context, I can see how it might sound like I’m denying that women can be impregnated via rape. This is, I assure you, not what I was trying to express at all. Such is the age we live in that one little sentence excerpted in a news report can come back to haunt a person in a pretty big hurry. But if you actually go back and look at the remarks closely, you’ll see that what I was actually trying to convey in my statement was that

(1) I am a big ****ing idiot,

(2) I am a nauseating slug of a human being who doesn’t deserve to live, and

(3) I am essentially everything that’s wrong with this country and with humanity in general.

Honestly, that’s all I was trying to get across there. It was a simple misunderstanding, really.

It’s funny, because, in my head, I remember thinking very vividly, “I, Rep. Todd Akin, am a bigoted jackass who probably should not be alive, let alone in political office. People need to know what a terrible person I am so they will then remember to punch me in the face anytime they get the chance.” But when I opened my mouth and tried to articulate that thought, somehow I blurted out the thing about rape instead of just saying, in plain English, that I am awful, just purely and incontrovertibly awful.

Frankly, it’s hard not to make a mistake from time to time when you’re in the public eye as much as I am. I am constantly having to speak my mind in a public forum, and sometimes, when all I’m trying to say is something simple and inarguable, like, “Sweet Jesus, I am the worst person who has ever lived,” I wind up saying something completely different. It’s frustrating, really. Because I have a lot of very pertinent and very well-thought out things to say about how somebody should just smack me in the head with a goddamned cricket bat because of how brainless and insensitive I am, but instead my words just come out all jumbled.

I guess I just have a habit of putting my foot in my mouth! And for being the very worst that Western Civilization has to offer!

So let me take this opportunity to be very specific about what I meant Sunday, which was this: I am not a competent or respectable politician; I am, essentially, a subhuman monster of a prick, a prick as profoundly insensitive as he is monumentally unintelligent in every respect; somebody should apply dozens of layers of duct tape to my mouth every morning so that words are not able to exit my large, dumb, misogynist, imbecilic mouth at any point; I make the planet worse; I don’t know jack **** about any of the topics I spoke about in that interview, or about any topics at all, really; I should apologize every day to the women of the world, but doing so would most likely be an exercise in futility given my rock-bottom intellect and my complete and utter lack of human decency; I am, in no uncertain terms, not even worth the time it took you to read this.

That’s what I meant to say. Sorry for the confusion.

Funny article from The Onion. Can't link because of dirty words.

Except, it isn't.

Which part? There are dozens if not more images on the Web showing tea baggers at rallies wearing hats with tea bags hanging down.

I wasn't aware, however, that the tea baggers have intentionally tried to change their name, or even if they ever referred to themselves as tea baggers, or whether that was a pejorative name attached to them by others.

The "teabagger" moniker originated from David Shuster on PMSNBC, and Anderson Cooper followed suit thinking he was so clever to spread the homosexual term.

Well that explains that, I guess. Not knowing one way or the other, I'll take your word for it.

Uh, teabagging isn't a homosexual term. Good one though.

I've always assumed teabagger was intended to be derogatory.

When it is used to describe the Tea Party that is exactly what it is.

[Stoked]

Still derogatory. The shoe is just on the other foot now. Still stupid and still derogatory.

That was the original sign that inspired the whole nonsense. Opponents just picked up on it.

So nobody made the connection between the party's name and teabagging? Anyways, so what if it's derogatory? **** those teabaggers and their teabagging mouths. Everyone cries for respect, but very few deserve it. Democrats, Republicans, socialists, libertarians, whatever, can all suck it.
