He said this and it was filmed, the lazy national TV fake news media has no excuse to not pick this up. If he said this to a newspaper or another written editorial that one would have to read, it would be as if he never said it, because reading and investigating stuff is hard for some people.

Sorry, but words have meaning SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2012 #22

I don't think it was that gross an exaggeration demwing Aug 2012 #26

Pointing out an obvious inaccuracy is not chastisement n/t SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2012 #28

Sure it was, you completely came in here chastising people demwing Aug 2012 #63

Nope, didn't chastise anyone SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2012 #149

I understand the distinction, my point is different demwing Aug 2012 #140

no heaven05 Aug 2012 #147

that's not what he said in quotes treestar Aug 2012 #159

calling rape "just another form of conception" certainly is condoning magical thyme Aug 2012 #62

attack me all you want, but that ISNT what he actually said CabCurious Aug 2012 #97

So now you are defending Paul Ryan? 99Forever Aug 2012 #107

of course im not defending ryan... but i see you're stalking and flaming again CabCurious Aug 2012 #108

If asking someone who is consistently posting RW talking points.. 99Forever Aug 2012 #110

Feel free to have a jury review MY posts... because I'm about to ask them to check YOURS CabCurious Aug 2012 #111

Now you've equated being logical with RW talking points. treestar Aug 2012 #114

you are entitled heaven05 Aug 2012 #150

...so many personal attacks and bullying CabCurious Aug 2012 #175

He didn't condone rape itself treestar Aug 2012 #112

i don't blame you heaven05 Aug 2012 #148

... but he didn't say what you write. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2012 #157

Paul Ryan is saying that he believes that a rapist's sperm Progressive dog Aug 2012 #101

That's it. That's exactly what Ryan is saying. yardwork Aug 2012 #105

yes, that's exactly it on the money CabCurious Aug 2012 #109

Who defended him? SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2012 #142

Personally, I don't think it's an exaggeration so much as amplification. JohnnyRingo Aug 2012 #128

'without exaggerating'? xxqqqzme Aug 2012 #144

Yes, exaggeration SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2012 #145

I think you miss the point BlueStreak Aug 2012 #77

Even if it Falls Short of an Endosement, the Language is Still Unacceptable AndyTiedye Aug 2012 #88

I think the point was more about raising the rapist's child. xtraxritical Aug 2012 #30

I would again point you to the context of what he said. tonybgood Aug 2012 #35

He isn't defending rape. He's saying it's irrelevant in matters of abortion (in his WRONG view) CabCurious Aug 2012 #40

If rape is "irrelevant", then why punish the rapist? tonybgood Aug 2012 #52

Maybe that's why Ryan thinks treestar Aug 2012 #116

30% Iris Aug 2012 #133
