Many people shoot themselves in the foot. Their mouths usually work fine though.

OM ... CVille, you might be onto something here; maybe we could call them safety glasses?

Thanks for another example for the National Campaign. .

Ramona, Ramona...don't you know about the latest thing? Bulletproof make-up! And of course, Collista Gingrich already has bullet-proof hair. Let's see...we'd also have to have bullet-proof eye glasses and contact lenses. Oh, my...what a wonderful world Resistance has conjured up. Just brings tears to my eyes thinking about it.

Well, in my humble opinion, he was using legitimate in the sense of "real" or "authentic". The context was his assertion that rape can't result in pregnancy, so it would make sense for him to emphasize the distinction between consensual sex and rape. If sex is forced then it is an actual rape i.e. a "legitimate rape". I don't think he was saying that rape is "legitimate" in the sense of being moral or justified.

It is extremely unsound science, as I said myself.

In reply to Although Akin is a fool for

From the context, it seems to me that by "legitimate rape" he meant an actual rape as opposed to a false accusation.

That assertion makes absolutely no sense. Akin claimed that one cannot get pregnant from a "legitimate" rape, implying that if you got pregnant, you wanted it. In writing that, I suppose by "false accusation" you mean that there was real intercourse, but that it was consensual. (When I first read it, I thought you meant simply that no act had taken place, which would definitely not lead to pregnancy.)

Regardless, assuming that you're parsing it the same way that I did, it's not just a bad choice of words, it's incredibly unsound science as well as demeaning to women!

Teaching our kids violence, has it's fruitage.

Do not be misled, whatever you sow, you reap

I don't blame lawful gun owners, I blame the educators of violence.

Blame Hollywood, a very wealthy special interest group.
