Dumb things conservatives say:

[Tgo01]

GOP strategists have worked hard since the 2012 election to keep Republicans from alienating female voters by holding training sessions and advising candidates to simply avoid talking about rape.

That's pretty fucking sad. "Look, guys, we shouldn't have to tell you that rape is bad but since you're not getting it just don't talk about rape at all."

I know. Back in the days of Sarah Palin, dont laugh!, I felt like Repubs were going down the right road with women and then things just started to get dirty.

They need to bottle up their religious pretentiousness, so they can get away with being womanizing sleazeballs like Dems always do.

Mike Huckabee(R): wanting birth control implies women have no control over their sex drives.

Weak, pathetic, religiously driven arguement against putting more reproductive rights into the hands of women.

Also...Why do women need birth control anyways? Can't they just shut down their uterus if they don't want a baby? -Todd Akin (R)

:P

That's fantastic. Now here's what he said, but without being taken out context:



I think Huckabee is a massive dork regardless, but yeah.

I just realized I got trolled by Think Progress, holy shit I must be tired.

Their "source" for this? Another "article" on their own website.

And if you follow their own link it brings you to a story about the "training sessions" Republicans were being signed up for and it turns out it was some smart ass group offering them training sessions.

And the advice to stop talking about rape was from a top GOP pollster because a couple of yahoos were talking out of their ass about rape and they figured it was better to distance themselves from rape talk altogether.

Just because you want to derp out like you like to about poor sourcing doesn't mean it's actually untrue.

David Vitter's PR lady is a pretty big deal in Republican polling/crisis managment circles.

The people who you claim are "selling sessions" have 365,000 members and gave 5.6 million to Republican candidates in the last election cycle. Not the biggest but not small either.

Except in this case it is. Did you even read what I quoted and what actually happened?

Holy heck.

[Tgo01]

I just gave you far better sourcing for the general line which was reported across a bunch of websites, including conservative ones. Did you read that? Nope.

This coming from the man who claimed I said anyone was selling anyone anything.

Yawn. Research better.

[Tgo01]

Offering == selling?
