Why is everybody so down on rape? This is what Mike Huckabee wanted to know today, on his radio program, which also featured Rep. Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin as a guest. For instance, did you know that Ethel Waters was conceived when her mother got raped? Do you know what a world without rape would look like? A world without Ethel Waters, that's what.
This is what Mike Huckabee said today, as transcribed by the Los Angeles Times' James Rainey, about the upside of being raped and then getting pregnant:
"Ethel Waters, for example, was the result of a forcible rape," Huckabee said of the late American gospel singer. One-time presidential candidate Huckabee added: "I used to work for James Robison back in the 1970s, he leads a large Christian organization. He, himself, was the result of a forcible rape. And so I know it happens, and yet even from those horrible, horrible tragedies of rape, which are inexcusable and indefensible, life has come and sometimes, you know, those people are able to do extraordinary things."Anyway, stop being so racist against rape-babies, everyone.
Just amazing. The comments just keep getting worse on this subject. I caught a segment of Rachel Maddow last night and was horrified by just how many dim bulbs in the Republican party have insisted over the years that a woman cannot become pregant by a "legitimate" rape. Maybe it's the water. Floride lowers the iq.
Even members of his party are calling for Aiken to step aside. Thus far he's "just saying no".
