Talk:Todd Akin

Comment
Even by RW standards, even considering the subject, I think this page is harsh. MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 11:47, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The article seems OK but I agree that the image caption is a rather acerbic.  Lily Inspirate me. 12:12, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The caption was what really got to me, yes. MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 12:24, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed about the caption, but is this even on-mission? There aren't many articles about US Senators, let alone wannabe US Senators. rpeh •T•C•E• 12:43, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's on-mission (Explorations of Fundamentalism), but you're correct that this guy is a nobody. So much so that his logorrhea might have been a publicity stunt, though it sure as shooting went awry. --TheLateGatsby (talk) 12:52, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's on mission, but we need to lose/change the picture caption. Cheap ad hominems about this guy's face (which isn't even particularly distinctive) don't do us any service.  12:57, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Can we turn this around?
I'm not sure that an arsehole like Akin deserves his own article - rather than adding a list of rape apologists to this article shouldn't he be an entry in a list of rape_apologists? I'll start. Bad Faith (talk) 15:02, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
