Democrats can say stupid stuff too

whistle stop
 
Rape comment by Rep. Joe Salazar reaps viral reaction   "Conservatives escalated their attacks on a Colorado Democrat Tuesday over his comments on rape, even falsely tying Rep. Joe Salazar to a 2006 university police memo that advised "vomiting or urinating" may ward off attackers.
But he did say this:
It's why we have call boxes. It's why we have safe zones. That's why we have the whistles, because you just don't know who you're going to be shooting at. And you don't know if you feel like you're going to be raped, or if you feel like someone's been following you around or if you feel like you're in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop... pop a round at somebody.
I like that "safe zone" idea; that should solve the problem. Before conservatives gloat, however, keep these words from Legal Insurrection in mind:
No, Democrats do not have a “full blown Akin” on their hands  "How do I know that this will not be the Democrats’ Todd Akin?
"Because he’s a Democrat, he’s at the state level, and this is not an election year.
"But mostly because he’s a Democrat."
