Connie Mack: Akin’s Comments Are Offensive — Just Like Joe Biden’s

[Lucy Goosey]

Today in false equivalence:

"Like Joe Biden's comments last week, I find Todd Akin's comments made Sunday to be just as outrageous and offensive. Such insulting and offensive remarks from Joe Biden and Todd Akin have no place in our political discourse."

1. Is he talking about Biden using 'chains' instead of 'shackles'? How was

what Biden said any worse than Rmoney's editorial?

[Warpy]

2. No, Connie Wonnie, there is no comparison and we all know that

Biden used the allusion of chains to describe the poverty and hopelessness GOP economic policy leads to for 99% of us.

Akin's stunning pig ignorance outraged the female half of the US citizenry.

No comparison, cupcake, no matter how you wish it so.

7. Plus

he was responding to actual GOPer comments about unchaining Wall Street from the tyranny of regulations. Biden knew what he was talking about and I have yet to hear anybody outside of GOP circles upset about it either.

3. And, there it is. I posted earlier about phony 'false equivelant' coming from repugs.

I wondered how long it would take. Not long, I guess.

4. Another GOPer false equivolency (nt)

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. Equivalency fail!!!

[Dawgs]

6. Biden's comments "offensive" to who? And, republicans with their faux outrage don't count. n/t

[Cha]

12. Exactly. Biden's comments were "offensive" to 1% suckupers like

connie mack. Aikin's were Offensive to Women and every thinking male in the freaking Universe.

8. Why is this important?

Why must we start a thread which leads with GOP talking points on a purely Democratic Discussion Board?

[LiberalFighter]

9. He had to have been raised on a plantation to believe that.

Next he will say that gold is equivalent to coal.

10. Oh brother!

11. The Widow Bono just has outstanding taste in men, doesn't she?

[Jennicut]

13. Biden is the guy who wrote the original Violence Against Women Act.

If there was any male politician out there that is the opposite of the offensive Todd Akin it is Joe Biden. There is no world in which Biden and Akin have any equivalence at all. The Repubs of 2012 are racist, sexist and homophobic. Biden is none of that.
