Claire McCaskill: Todd Akin 'Makes Michele Bachmann Look Like A Hippie'

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday morning, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) painted her opponent Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) as a member of the extreme right-wing.

"If you look at some of the things that Todd Akin has said over the years, I mean, he's said things like in the heart of liberalism is a hatred of God. He has been a handful of votes against things like the sex offender registry, and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children," she said. "I mean, this is somebody who kind of makes Michele Bachmann look like a hippie."

Have to mention that TA also thinks Claire was 'unladylike' during their debate. He seems to live in a world where women are supposed to be subservient to men I guess so being strong and daring to put a man in his place is seen as being unladylike. LOL
