"Wahhhhh!!! They iz pickin' on me!"
BTW, that "credible accusation of rape" came from a woman who changed her story several times, getting more and more lurid with each re-telling.
Todd Akin: Politico Is Persecuting Me!
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 7/14/2014 11:20 am
Former Rep. Todd Akin keeps insisting that he was unfairly persecuted for his infamous legitimate rape remarks, which helped to cost him the 2012 U.S. Senate race in Missouri. Akin apologized for the remarks when they became a liability to his campaign, but recently published a book rescinding his apology. Now, in a column today for WorldNetDaily, the far-right website publishing his new book, Akin claims that Politico reporters Anna Palmer and Tarini Parti censored his book by leaving out of their review his allegation that Bill Clinton is a credibly accused rapist. Actually, the Politico story on Akins new book clearly mentions that Akin accused Clinton of rape, and Politico did not violate any of Akins rights by not publishing every single word he wrote in his book.

(31,464 posts)If Todd Akin made the accusation, that is not "credibly accused." It means "accused by a partisan nut bag." Now, whether or not one feels that Monica Lewinsky or Paula Jones were raped, or if Linda Tripp was the credible accuser, is one of those discussions that will raise some hackles. My only point is only that Todd Akin as absolutely no standing to judge what is considered "credible" anything.
