Todd Akin Claims Breast Milk Will Cure Homosexuality

[HunterM]

Clearly...Todd Akin is an IDIOT!

 

[refujiunderground]

i was breast fed as a baby and i'm still gay.

Currently, Akin is on the path to rebuild his campaign after making claims two weeks ago that women who are “legitimately” raped will not get pregnant because the body has ways to “try and shut that whole thing down.”

The guy scares me, but the people who hang on his every word scare me more.

Oh, and that "something else" that lesbians are supposed to drink? I wonder Akin would be willing to try to drink it from the source? One good bite...

This guy has got to be a diversionary tactic. Fortunately the RNC has no actual understanding of how to use a diversionary tactic.

That source is a satirical site just like The Onion. I hope you people don't get your world news from Daily Currant.

That doesn't explain the serious articles listed below the article. They're not satirical.

Spoof Todd Akin article that claims ‘homosexuality can be cured by breastfeeding’ outrages Twitter - PinkNews.co.uk I can't believe I'm in position of defending some nutjob, but for the twitter nation that we have become, we have to be even more scrupulous in what we accept as truth.

lol....i wonder if he drinks some jizz it will cure stupidity

 

[anchihiro]

Is Todd Akin the guy who claimed that raped women couldn't get pregnant by their rapist if they simply chose to 'shut their body down' or something during the actual rape?

 

[Scealle]

That is one of the most ridiculous claims I have ever heard. lol

But the original link had other links to legitimate stories. The story may be a spoof, but the website isn't.

My brother COULD NOT suck my mother's milk - he was lactose intolerant or something else made him require formula instead - and he most certainly did not turn out gay. Not at all.

 

[RaKroma]

Then why bother defending him? These comments could have easily come out of his mouth. The republican party is full of nutjobs. Just take a look at Romney's VP pick. Glad to know those two won't get near the white house.

So you are basically saying not to pursue truth and honesty because you hate a certain political party? Then we wonder why the average voter is hard a rock and our journalism standards have spiraled down to a pathetic circus where everyone cheers to bias that is palatable to their own views.

^ You're right RaKroma.

Giancarlo has youth and vigour but his post #16 would lead one to believe he's a maniacal hater who's uninterested in the truth.

In fact, I think this slanderous thread should be deleted or retitled.

 

[ibill1]

This is too funny. I was going to go to the circus but I think I'll get more enjoyment right here.

 

[pat grimshaw]

Kind of ironic when you took the opportunity to slander a poster in the thread.

Yes. And I can slander you by saying you're a complacent fat cat who doesn't initiate many threads.

It says a lot about people and culture today when we can no longer tell the difference between satire, and something legitimately stupid a politician has said.

If true,
i would assumed all straight men would pretend to be gay just to get the milk first hand.

The thread needs to be tagged as humor.
