Todd Akin just can't keep his feet out of his mouth...



Todd Akin: September 11 Attacks Proved Liberals Are Wrong About Everything

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 7/28/2014 12:25 pm

In the second part of his sad, self-pitying interview with WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah last week, Todd Akin argued that the September 11, 2001 attacks shocked liberals into “silence,” arguing that liberals don’t believe “there are really bad people in this world” and “don’t think we need any defense in America.” While he spent most of the interview criticizing Hillary Clinton for representing an accused rapist while working as a defense attorney for a legal aid group in Arkansas — because apparently individuals suspected of committing crimes do not deserve representation in court — he then complained that “we almost live in a culture where people want to believe something even though it isn’t true.” The former Missouri congressman and failed Republican Senate candidate went on to say that 9/11 disproved everything liberals believe, leaving them “shocked to find that one of their life premises was totally wrong.” “You can drive your Prius around with your yoga stickers and whatever, but these people still hate you,” he said. “Liberals want to believe, ‘can’t we all love each other, coexist?’ A coexist sticker didn’t keep those planes from hitting the towers.”

2. I happen to believe that "we can all love each other and coexist..."

...except for perhaps 5-10 percent of the population. That 5-10 percent is represented by the likes of Al Qaeda and Todd Akin. I'm not naive enough to believe that there AREN'T people out there who would love to drop an airplane on my head, but I don't walk around my day worrying about it.

Unfortunately, that 5-10 percent of the population that is incapable of loving each other and coexisting is ruining it for the rest of us.

3. Until Mr. Akin commits murder that is the limit of his coexistence.

I suspect Mr. Akin's belief system has much in common with those who perpetrate terror and homicide. Jesus the liberal may have turned the other cheek, obviously a philosophy which is foreign to Mr. Akin. No love wasted here for Mr. Akin, terrorist and murderers.

Neither did all those Bush-Cheney stickers ... or the Bush Administration.

What a dunce!

Scientists and doctors refer to this syndrome as "copro encephalopathy", or in layman's terms "shit for brains".
