Akin apologizes for rape comments; Obama says "rape is rape"
Kyle Klingman
If Akin had any common sense he would withdraw.
Tanya Donald
There's nothing he can say to make up for it. My jaw dropped when I heard his comment
Summer Whitford
The fundamental problem with what Akin said is not that he "mispoke" but that there are lots of other fringe right wingers, Paul Ryan included, who actually believe the crazy stuff they are spouting. He and many other still believe this stuff, they just want the gaffe to go away so they can wine the election.
