Family Research Council PAC ‘Enthusiastically’ Backs Todd Akin

Benjy Sarlin

The Family Research Council's PAC defended embattled Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) in a press release on Monday.

"This is another case of 'gotcha politics' against a conservative leader," FRC Action President Connie Mackey said in a statement. "Todd Akin has a long and distinguished record of defending women, children and families. He has fought against forcing taxpayers to subsidize abortion giant Planned Parenthood, which is the bedrock of Claire McCaskill's base of support."

He conclude by saying: "We know Todd Akin, and FRC Action PAC enthusiastically endorses his candidacy."

It's really hilarious how these assholes run like cockroaches when Americans get an unvarnished glimpse of who they really are. Come into the light you fuckers.

Romney ‘Appalled’ By Family Research Council Shooting

MItt Romney issued a response to an incident at the Family Research Council building in Washington, D.C. today in which one security guard was shot, per the Washington Examiner:

“I am appalled by the shooting today at the offices of the Family Research Council in our nation’s capital,” he said. “There is no place for such violence in our society. My prayers go out to the wounded security guard and his family, as well as all the people at the Family Research Council whose sense of security has been shattered by today’s horrific events.”

2. They want women to be raped twice:

[get the red out]

3. FRC

They probably had to all go take a cold shower after they heard Akin's statements about rape.

5. The fact that mainstream

Republicans are in alliance with these despicable morons is telling.

6. It's telling of how low they're willing to stoop to pander to the RW nuts.

If they're associated with this sort of insane beliefs, even just by accepting donations from such a group, they should be called on.

We have a chance to expose some of these groups, and politicians, for the twisted beliefs they hold against women. I hope we use it to its full advantage.

7. they feel guilty they didn't protect their women from rape, so they blame the women

it's all a consequence of their frontier-era ideology.

8. I Loathe The FRC And Its Agenda--BUT

I loathe the so-called Family Research Council, but I'm glad they and their polemics are there to tie around the necks of the lockstep Republican majority in Congress where women voters can plainly see what backwards, reactionary opinions the Tea Party Right has of the female population of this country.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

9. Yes we strongly support family values rape

It's the legitimate kind.

10. This would be the not-at-all-hate-group FRC?

[hifiguy]

11. There are so many lies in what little was quoted

of that FRC "press release" I doubt even Willard could choke them all down at once. These people are fucking clinically insane and should be locked safely away from folks with functioning cerebral cortexes.

[Initech]

12. So if we extrapolate - the "Family" Research Council now openly supports sexual assault.

This is a new low even for them.

[fishwax]

13. they're revolting, but ever-so-predictable in their revoltingness
