Todd Akin was "assassinated!" Well, he says so...

BTW, Akin in a previous interview said Joe McCarthy was "assassinated by the media" also.

Todd Akin Insists He's Not Playing The Victim, Just Thinks 'Jerks' In The Media 'Assassinated' Him!

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 7/24/2014 11:50 am

Yesterday, Todd Akin insisted that he is not into trying to play the victim…he just wants to make it clear that the “jerks” in the media “assassinated” him during his campaign for the U.S. Senate. Akin, who has been promoting his new book by explaining that he was the target of an evil conspiracy to censor and destroy him because of his patriotic and Christian values, appeared on Tuesday’s “The Steve Deace Show” to retell the tale.

"Raped" or "lynched".

Because I know I'm not the only one who can imaging him doing so.

Otherwise, his body can probably shut it down.
