Here's an oldie from Akin last year that should not be forgotten:

[Contrary1]

"At the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God."

But, of course he apologized in typical republican fashion:

"My statement during my radio interview was directed at the political movement, Liberalism not at any specific individual. If my statement gave a different impression, I offer my apologies."

Seriously, in what other way could Akin's original remark been interpreted?

1. Talking Points Memo had a nice compendium.

They called it Todd Akin's Greatest Hits. I think Stupid Shit Todd Akin Has Said would have been better.

Student Loans

In April, Akin cited a law Democrats passed in 2010 that saves billions of dollars by preventing private banks from profiting, risk free, on federally backed student loans as an example of the notion that “America has got the equivalent of stage three cancer of socialism, because the federal government is tampering in all kind of stuff it has no business tampering in.”

When offered the chance to clarify, he declined, saying “I called a spade a spade.”

Social Security

During a CSPAN appearance on March 2011, Akin raised strong objections to one of the nation’s most popular federal support programs. “Social Security, through the years, for many many people, has been a terrible investment. It’s really a tax is all it is. Social Security is a tax. The government is taking the tax — there’s more money coming in than going out — and we spend it. That’s not responsible. I don’t like it. I didn’t design Social Security. It was — it actually came from Bismark. FDR put it in place.”

First Amendment

In June 2011, Akin told Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, that “the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God.”

Marital Rape

In 1991, as a state legislator, Akin questioned whether anti-marital rape legislation might be used “in a real messy divorce as a tool and a legal weapon to beat up on the husband.” He ultimately voted for the bill.

2. it's more like a somber realization that WE are the only god who will ever save us

not hatred--the repuKKKEs are so simpleminded, if you don't love god you must of course hate him since there are no other emotions in their tiny minds.

[RagAss]

3. Amen. Reminds me of an old saying from a sage whose name I forgot long ago...

"You are the God you do not believe in."
