Akin Adviser: If A Dog, McCaskill Would Be A ‘Bullshitsu’
Source: TPM
Rick Tyler, an adviser to Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin in Missouri, tweeted Monday that if Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill were a dog, she would be a "Bullshitsu." If Claire McCaskill were a dog, she'd be a "Bullshitsu", The comment comes after Akin drew fire for comments likening McCaskill to a dog at a fundraiser Saturday. “She goes to Washington, D.C., and it’s a little bit like, uh, you know, one of those dog, you know, ‘fetch,'" Akin said. She goes to D.C. “and gets all of these taxes and red tape and bureaucracy and executive orders and agencies and she brings all of this stuff and dumps it on us in Missouri…" -snip- Read more: http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/akin-adviser-if-dog-mccaskill-would-be-bullshitsu

32. Seriously???

This is my first post with DU even though I've been lurking in the shadows for years. However, I couldn't just let this stand as a Missourian. This man has been an embarrassment to our state and to those of us who are free thinking women. The crazy thing is that he probably would have pulled out a win if he hadn't started believing his own hype. I have to give Claire McCaskill credit for endorsing him during his primary campaign because she knew that this Neanderthal would blow it as opposed to ANY of the other primary candidates. It was a move that has paid off in spades and I, for one, look forward to casting my vote for her. Of course, I have to also remember that Missouri elected a dead man in 2000. Poor John Ashcroft will never live that one down.

34. Akin is a virus
|
An animal lives in balance with it's surroundings and adds to that environment through the basic nature of it's existence. It takes out what it needs to survive and adds back in equal measure.
A virus enters into it's host's cells and destroys that cell to replicate. Then it spreads to other cells which causes the host to be ill or possibly to die. A virus only takes till it, or it and it's host are dead. Akin and his ilk are a virus and America is the host. |

Because it sure don't sound like he has control over his messaging.
