Republican Senate Candidate: Female body can shut down a pregnancy in case of rape

You know, with all the talk about the Voter ID Bull, it seems another incident slipped through the cracks:

Todd Akin Claims Breastmilk Cures Homosexuality

This guy has serious "foot in mouth" disease. In this same particualr interview, he also claimed a conspiracy to falsify fossil records in the name of "radical Darwinism" and Michigan is being converted into the capital of the so called Islamic States of America.

So 4 weeks of daily sucking on boobs will make a gay man straight? While I know plenty of straight men that would gladly jump on the opportunity to suckle on a boob every day for a month, very few of them like the taste of breast milk.

It makes you wonder if this was tested in a lab, up on Michelle Bachman's Gay Farm, or just an assumption that if you make a gay man do sexual things with a woman, he'll go straight.

Ah, that would explain it. Whoops!

That said, given his track record of late it's not so far fetched.

That's just Poe's Law rearing its ugly head.

Or...maybe, it WAS legitimate breast-feeding, the problem is that breastfeeding turns gay boys straight and straight girls gay! Only boy babies should be breastfed then, and girls have to be bottle-fed if you don't want them to catch teh gay!

Republican party starts funding Akin's campaign again.

Honestly, anyone surprised at this is fooling themselves. Hell, my first post in this thread said as much
