Ann Coulter: Selfish Swine Todd Akin Is Going to Hurt the Republican Party (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 10:04 PM
Ann Coulter had a few choice words on Hannity tonight for isolated Missouri Republican Todd Akin.
“This selfish swine is going to hurt the Republican Party.”
Mediaite reported on the exchange:
“This selfish swine, Todd Akin, is going to hurt the Republican Party,” Coulter bluntly said.
The two then lamented what they see as a double-standard in which President Barack Obama is “utterly silent on Bill Maher, silent on Romney being called a ‘murderer’, causing this woman’s cancer. He is silent on the ‘felony’ talk. He is saying that Republicans want dirty air and water. He doesn’t get called out for it. This is a campaign of smear and slander.”
Coulter agreed, adding that “Todd Akin is being attacked for saying stupid about rape. The Democrats’ keynote speaker [Bill Clinton] is someone who was credibly accused of rape. [...] We can’t have a war on women because the Democrats have won that war between Teddy Kennedy, Bill Clinton, and Anthony Weiner.”
“We have gone from an easy win to a loss,” Coulter lamented. “And you might say, what Todd Akin cares about is stop overruling Roe v. Wade. I don’t think he does.”
“What he cares about is his own ego,” she continued. “He was showing off, fancy footwork and what he knows about the medical impact of rape on a woman’s body. He has harmed the Republican Party, and this is not a time to be fooling around.”

bidin: squealing pigs = coulter: selfish swine … it’s getting harder and harder to determine which party is talking.
Patty commented:
And Coulter has such a pleasant tone, (sarc) coming from a woman, she really needs to clean up her language, and save the nasty for in the streets.

Yes, totally in agreement. Coulter did speak of Clinton and Wiener though. Did like that.
And that is saying a lot coming from me as I can’t stomach Coulter.
Valerie commented:
Ann Coulter has done more damage to the Republican party than Akin could ever fear to accomplish. She’s mean-spirited and rude. She’s also lazy, and far too willing to attack innocent people based on swinish reporting.
She should take a big cup of STFU.
Jayne on Left Coast commented:
Just stop talking about him. Good gawd I am not jfworried about his stupid remark. I am worried about the cost of gas,groceries,the economy and my Country.
Peggy R commented:
Stop talking about it and making it bigger than it needs to get. Let it die down at this point.
Let the Dems have a convention for baby killing. That’s easy to respond to. They’re sick.

I don’t know. I like to think I am so conservative that GWB was a socialist…meh, not saying much there I guess…
That being so, I do believe, and would TRY to rationally argue, but I do not have the patience to do so, THAT
All abortion should be legal in all contexts, with the one condition that use of abortion for prophylactic reasons shall incur concurrent irreversible sterilization.
THAT should satisfy like free ice cream and hot fudge never could (them’s dog whistles words for them’s sangers/eugenicists)
James commented:
Mr. Akin, I am as pro life as it gets. Please withdraw and don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

“Jummah at the DNC” (#8)
[It is troubling that the Democratic National Convention has decided
to promote and lend its name and national political platform to the
organizers of the “Jummah at the DNC”. The leaders of this event –
Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahhaj as advertised are no moderates.
They are radicals. These individuals embrace Islamist supremacy and
have demonstrated support for radical ideologies.]

Rape Pregnancies Are Rare
John C. Willke, M.D.
April 1999
[Finally, factor in what is certainly one of the most important reasons why a rape victim rarely gets pregnant, and that's physical trauma. Every woman is aware that stress and emotional factors can alter her menstrual cycle. To get and stay pregnant a woman's body must produce a very sophisticated mix of hormones. Hormone production is controlled by a part of the brain that is easily influenced by emotions. There's no greater emotional trauma that can be experienced by a woman than an assault rape. This can radically upset her possibility of ovulation, fertilization, implantation and even nurturing of a pregnancy. So what further percentage reduction in pregnancy will this cause? No one knows, but this factor certainly cuts this last figure by at least 50 percent and probably more. If we use the 50 percent figure, we have a final figure of 225 (or 370) women pregnant each year. These numbers closely match the 200 that have been documented in clinical studies.
So assault rape pregnancy is extremely rare. If we use the figure of 200, it is 4 per state per year. Even if we use a figure of 500, we're talking about only ten per state, per year. In the United States in one year, there are more than 6 million pregnancies. Roughly 3 million eventuate in live birth, 1.5 million are aborted and 500,000 miscarry. And so while each assault rape pregnancy is a tragedy for the mother (not for the baby, though), we can with confidence say that such pregnancies amount to a minuscule fraction of the total annual pregnancies in the United States. Further, less than half of assault rape pregnancies are aborted, even though that course of action tends to be vigorously pushed by those around the woman.
One final thought, Sandra Mahkorn, in two excellent studies, has asked such women what was their chief complaint? One might fully assume it was the fact that she was pregnant, but that is incorrect. Her chief complaint was how other people treated her. Such treatment ranged from negative, to simply getting little support from those around her. Even in a culture that offers little support and aggressively pushes abortion as a solution, fewer that half of such babies are killed by abortion. Think of how many fewer yet there would be if each pregnant victim of a rape were given the support, aid and tender loving care that she and her baby deserve.]
Full Interview With Todd Akin
more here (#7)
“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really
rare,” [Mr. Akin said of pregnancies from rape.] “If it’s a legitimate rape,
the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s
assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be
some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not
attacking the child.”
Dave Catanese, Politico Reporter,
Defends Todd Akin Rape Comments
["So perhaps some can agree that all rapes that are reported are not
actually rapes? Or are we gonna really deny that for PC sake?" he said.
"So looks like he meant to say -- 'If a woman was REALLY raped, it's
statistically less likely for her to get pregnant.' What's the science?"]
and here (#89)
Chris and Dana Loesch. The conservative commentary power couple both
lept to Akin’s defense. Chris claimed that “what [Akin] said was medically
correct” while Dana wrote that Akin’s comments were less bad than his
opponent Claire McCaskill’s record by “any real standard of measurement.”

#9 James…
Pretty sure #13 includes you in that category…
Hard to believe, huh?
Well, get used to it if you plan to hang around…
and express an opinion contrary to hers.
donh commented:
All Mann Coulter ever does is play Salome and call for somebody’s head…Last week it was Romney’s spokeswoman Andrea Saul….and she has the hypocritical nerve to accuse somebody of being poison….. Mann Coulter is another David Brock who made his money shilling stereotypical books to conservatives only to mutate into a media matters fascist.
