"I'm not his political strategist, thank God," Cameron, who interviewed Akin for his new religious documentary, "Monumental," told Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford. "Clearly, this is a man who is advocating the sanctity of life through and through. He said he misspoke and he apologized for it. I like to evaluate people based on their entire life, their entire career, and [what] they stand for. He loves his wife, he's got six children. I believe he's a good man. He's now in a very, very difficult spot."

Kirk's 2 cents.

[mucifer]

1. yeah we should all care about the washed up "actor" and what he thinks.

[pstokely]

36. but he's real America, not Hollywood

[mim89]

2. .

Why do people even care about Kirk Cameron's opinion?


I guess we should ask Paris Hilton her opinion too lol

[Bertha Venation]

8. hahahaha

[MotorCityMan]

39. Really; have Snooki and the Olsen twins chimed in with their opinions yet?

Can't wait to hear them.

[Roy Rolling]

3. Earth to Akin Apologists:

It' not so much his viewpoint on "the sancity of life", it's the fact that he is a moron when it comes to the science of how babies are made. When a Congressman says something so uneducated it sends a chill down people's spines thinking that he is a decision-maker in the Congrss of the United States.

That being said, he has vaulted to #1 on the short list of Michelle Bachmann V.P. candidates.

4. His God (or atleast, his bible)

thinks its okay to stone women to death for not crying out while getting raped..

so of course he does.

BTW, i watched the video.. and i have to give him credit for atleast admitting the reason the pilgrims left their homeland was to ESCAPE A CHURCH RAN GOVERNMENT!

[ehrnst]

5. LOOK AT MEE!!! OVER HERE!!

Shut up you say? Stop PERSECUTING ME!!! FIRST AMENDMENT VIOLATION!!!!

[Liberal Veteran]

6. Apparently he is using a definition of the word "good" I am unfamiliar with.

[JBoy]

9. Maybe it's fundy slang for "bad".

[Cha]

17. Ha! Ah yes, fundy

code.

[JHB]

7. We've seen the quality of Kirk's interviewees before. Doesn't speak well of Akin

Kirk will basically accept any amount of bullshit as long as it presents itself in a &quot real true) Christian" wrapper.

[Bertha Venation]

10. Oh, jesus h christ on toast

[urgk]

11. Of course he does.

Believing things in spite of evidence to the contrary is Kirk Cameron's specialty.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. "He loves his wife, he's got six children." Truly loving his wife would mean fewer pregnancies.

"He loves his wife, he's got six children. I believe he's a good man."

If he truly loved his wife he wouldn't force her to carry and care for and feed and clean up after so many children. Supposedly he home-schooled them. Does anyone suppose he wasn't the bread-winner and tradtional male patriarch of his family, even if his career was 'politician'?

Note the male chauvinist language that uses a large number of children as a sign of being a "good man".
Note that the guy says "... his wife, he's got six children" rather than "... his wife, they've got six children".

13. Kirk Cameron likes bananas

lol

[OnyxCollie]

14. I believe Kirk Cameron

is a washed-up actor who now makes a living as a mouthpiece for Christian fundamentalist zealotry.

[sarcasmo]

23. Sounds like Chuck Norris.

[OnyxCollie]

34. Chuck Norris was an actor?

Who knew?

[JHB]

15. The key here, Kirk, is how he treats people he doesn't know.

And the screaming answer is "cavalierly".

[Rain Mcloud]

16. Serpents in Human Suits

You just can't beat these pro-creationist's for the lengths they will go to in order to affirm their faith.

18. This will go as well as the banana video, Kirk....

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

19. Now if only the kids from 'Alf' and 'Small Wonder' would weigh in

then America could finally know what to think about this issue

[pstokely]

21. What does Fred Savage think?

Or Tina Youthers?

[pstokely]

20. We don't care what celebrities say

at least not A-List celebrities

[Dawson Leery]

22. In summary, those who are mentally unstable are defenders of the act of rape.

[Solly Mack]

24. Someone toss Kirk a banana to keep him busy.

[Poll_Blind]

25. Next up: A creaking and frazzle-haired Victoria Jackson attempts cartwheels in support of Akin. nt

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

26. Why does anyone care?

I hated this obnoxious twit in 1987....had no idea we'd still have to listen to him about shit that matters now.

[liberalmuse]

27. And clearly his opinions have made him many friends...

[Frank Cannon]

42. I was hoping someone would post that picture.

That's one of the most pathetic yet hilarious images I've ever seen.

[muntrv]

28. Gee, what do the "Facts of Life" girls have to say about the election?

[avebury]

29. Kirk who?

[burnsei sensei]

30. I believe Akin's a shit.

nt

[CobaltBlue]

31. ...

It's unfortunate anyone will stay give as little a moment out of any individual day to the repressed Kirk Cameron.

[gtar100]

32. Oh the pains republicans go through when they accidentally say what they really think.

Cameron just told everyone he's about as much a slimeball as Akin is. What a difficult spot his friend is in...why? And just what the hell is he really sorry for.

Hey Cameron, every stupid, fucking prick whoever got into power probably "loved his wife" (for what....) and had children, even lots of children. So fuck off with your "sanctity of life" and evaluating people based on their entire life bullshit. You must have appreciated Akin more when he was getting away with his lies. I think you're just worried about your documentary. Facade's coming off that too, I wager.

I'll believe Akin is sorry just as soon as he gives up his life of politics and joins a Zen monastery to really go deep into why he has such hateful thoughts about women. If he's not scared he might hurt somebody, he ought to be.

Until then, he's just another republican re-posturing after opening up his mouth and going off script.

These republicans have to work very hard at not showing what imbeciles they really are.

[xfundy]

33. Has anyone else noticed--

That Kirk Cameron's starting to look a LOT like Joe "Dead Intern" Scarborough? The eyes, especially.

Could be a result of squinting, shutting eyes hard in an attempt to doublethink and/or memorize obviously stupid bullshit for later regurgitation.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

35. Sick fuck!!!

[Zoeisright]

37. Well, KIRK, since you have the brains of a turnip,

your opinion means less than nothing.

What a simpleton.

[6000eliot]

38. Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin enter the fray in 10, 9, 8, . . .

[Arugula Latte]

40. I believe Kirk Cameron is a Growing Pain in my tuchus.

[underpants]

41. BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just have to believe

[Javaman]

43. How's the banana kirk? nt
