UPDATE: Paul Ryan withdraws endorsement of Wisconsin lawmaker who said "some girls rape easy"

[TroyD]

Trying to do it in advance of the debate?

-------

Ryan withdrew his endorsement on Thursday. “State Representative Rivard’s comments are outrageous and offensive,” Kevin Siefert said in a statement. “Congressman Ryan believes there is no place in our discourse for rhetoric such as this. Congressman Ryan cannot support Mr. Rivard or his indefensible comments.”

1. LOL

2. Hey Ryan, you own the damn endorsement. You can't withdraw from it.

We already know about your legitimate rape bill, so you can go fuck off and be plastered as "extreme anti-abortionist"

3. Rivard made the "Rape easy" comment last December to his local newspaper

according to the second link, long BEFORE Ryan endorsed him. I'm sure Rivard's anti-female sentiments and uncivil tongue have long been known. Ryan just didn't like the fact they became national news as opposed to the words themselves.

5. Absolutely!

He is a chameleon like Romney. Whatever suits the moment!

6. Yes

I posted the other article yesterday.

It should be below somewhere.

4. Well, there's "easy" rape and there's "legitimate" rape

Too little, too late Ryan. You can withdraw one, but you own the other lock, stock and barrel.

Oh, and in the meantime, maybe you can explain the difference between what he said and what you tried to legislate.

7. And then there is "asking for it" rape.

These guys have sunk so low they don't know which way up is.

[Turbineguy]

8. He's probably OK with

"some girls rape difficult".

9. Should Biden bring this up tonight?

We need to make up ground with some of the women voters that are now apparently considering Romney.

Should our strategy be to remind them of how Todd Akin, Paul Ryan, Rick Santorum & Rivard are all part of the same party's approach to women's issues?

10. 'course, if they take birth control pills, he supports putting them in prison.

but, ah, we certainly don't want to insult them.

11. Should you or any member of your Tea Bagger force be discovered the VP candidate will disavow

any knowledge of your actions. This endorsement will self destruct in five seconds.
