Bryan Fischer Says Todd Akin Is Like a Victim of Rape
After likening the backlash to Todd Akin’s comments on “legitimate rape” to the Pharisees’ persecution of Jesus, American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer is now comparing Akin to a victim of rape. After listing the growing chorus of conservative activists and media personalities who have called on Akin to quit the senate race, Fischer lamented that “everybody is gang tackling Todd Akin.” “You talk about a forcible situation, you talk about somebody being a victim of forcible assault, that would be Todd Akin,” Fischer maintained.
RWW has the video, if you can stomach it. Always remember when we talk about actual rapes, some are “legitimate” and some are not….but using rape as a mere metaphor for being subjected to criticism….well, that’s a-ok, so long as the “victim” is a man.
White straight Christian males….they’re always the victim.
