Republican leaders have universally condemned Todd Akin, but the conservative ground troops aren't so unified. The backlash to the Akin backlash has two arguments: that he's apologized and must be forgiven, and that his fake science wasn't so bad.
Akin got in trouble for saying in a "legitimate rape" the woman's body rejects rapist sperm so she won't get pregnant. Mike Huckabee emailed a furious defense of Akin Thursday, saying the Republican Party had betrayed a man who "owned his mistake." He warned that a "quiet army" would not appreciate seeing one of their own fed "to the liberal wolves." Other evangelical leaders agreed.
