re: #140 wrenchwench

Looking for common ground, there’s this: “Akin may or may not be a hypocrite, but he is an apologist for dangerous fanaticism.” But it doesn’t go far enough. He’s not just an apologist, he’s a fanatic. He’s in Congress, making laws, and wants to move up to the Senate.

I was alluding to somebody’s comment above that Akin would find an abortionist for a wife or daughter who was made pregnant by rape. That would make him a hypocrite.

I don’t know his record well enough to say whether he is a fanatic or a cynical manipulator.
