Taliban or Tea Party?

If they were, then their remarks would deserve the same attention from media outlets.



I also missed when President Obama's children were over 18 and were (starting in May 2009) paid political spokespeople with their own reality shows -- in other words, adult public figures in their own right. If that were the case, again, I'd agree that this was a fair comparison.

That's the thing, right? It's drawing a comparison between apples and kittens. Representative Akin (along with Paul Ryan, btw), has sponsored bills in the House that would restrict abortion rights. It's pretty obvious now that he's using factual inaccuracies to support that view. There have been hundreds of times when Democrats proposed and sponsored bills based on factual inaccuracies - use one of those to support your point - not Samuel L. Jackson who's not an elected official or someone dressed up as a vagina.

And if someone thinks Malia and Sasha Obama haven't been attacked or snarked on, they should look harder. The difference is that Malia and Sasha haven't taken any type of political stance that I've seen besides "vote for my dad, he's a good dad." Which is what any child of a politician would say.

Where do you do your research?
