Wow, I am just now understanding the full implications of the witchcraft clip. Bill Maher released it live *in real time* on REALTIME WITH BILL MAHER, my favorite talk show ever. ABC may have fired him, but now he wields immense power in this Delaware senate race due to his treasure trove of unused PI footage. He has a bunch more clips, and plans to release them in "dribs and drabs". He gets national attention he has not seen since the Steve Irwin thing, and a tea partier is denied a senate seat as a result. It's almost too delicious for words. (Go Bill! )

EDIT: The clip itself is hilarious, the look on Bill's face is absolutely priceless

EDIT: And the timing! With his season just starting, he could not have timed this better

So does this mean the rest of the Tea Party can burn her? I'd be up for that before the Koran personally...

O'Donnell makes light of witchcraft comment

Quote:
Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell is making light of comments she made more than a decade ago about dabbling in witchcraft.

During an appearance yesterday at a Republican picnic in southern Delaware, O'Donnell said she was in high school when she dabbled in witchcraft. She asked the audience: "How many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school?"

O'Donnell, a conservative Christian activist who led a TV campaign against masturbation, won the Republican Senate primary last week with the help of Tea Party supporters. Her comments about witchcraft were made during an episode of comedian Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect show.

A clip hit the internet as O'Donnell canceled appearances on two national news shows.

The context of what led to her comments is not clear, and O'Donnell is laughing while she talks.

"I dabbled into witchcraft. I never joined a coven," she said. " ... I hung around people who were doing these things. I'm not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do," she said.

"... One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn't know it. I mean, there's little blood there and stuff like that," she said. "We went to a movie and then had a little midnight picnic on a satanic altar."

Maher said on Real Time with Bill Maher that he has more clips of O'Donnell and will continue to air them until she appears on his show.
...and she turned me into a newt!

(I got better)

There's a front-page story on CNN asking if the mainstream media treatment of O'Donnell is "fair".

There's your liberal media folks. How dare we question or even momentarily doubt a (patriot) lunatic about her lunatic opinions.

Christ.

Christ.
...and yet it's perfectly fine to question in mainstream media outlets with a straight face as if it's a legitimate query whether your president is a secret muslim and/pr a socialist.

I aint got the words...

O'Donnell looks like she could've gotten together with Walter Koenig and given birth to Ellen Page.

I apologize to both Koenig and Page...

Hell after this thread I reckon even Eva Angelina would be walking around with a chill going up her spine without knowing why.

We can't be too careful with these witches so I suggest we use the ole Salem method:

Throw her in a lake and if she sinks, she's not a witch. Just to be sure.

Nah. That'd ruin a good outfit. Just weigh her and see if she weighs as much as a duck first.

Okay this just got fucking personal for me...

Big myth-take? Palin clone's passion for fantasy.

Quote:
Christine O'Donnell is in a fantasy world. Literally. The pretty Palin Mini-Me identifies with the women of Middle Earth, comparing herself to the female characters in the Lord of the Rings novels by J.R.R. Tolkien.

"Look at the significance that he gives to Eowyn, the Lady of Rohan," O'Donnell said on C-Span in 2003. "She was a warrior spirit and, to me, that's who I love. I mean, I aspire to be soft and gentle like Arwen, but realistically, I'm a fighter, like Eowyn."

O'Donnell said she liked Tolkien's outlook on gender: "On the one hand, there's the attitude that's normally on the conservative side - as a conservative woman, I feel I can say this - that stifles women. There's almost the stereotypical attitude of, to be a true woman, you have to stay at home. And I've actually had people say to me, 'Why do you choose a career over marriage?' Honestly, I've had only a few significant relationships, and they've broken up with me. And one of the things I've been told is, 'If you weren't so strong, you'd be married by now."'
I reckon I could offer up a few other theories as to why men keep breaking up with her...

TV host Maher shows another O'Donnell clip

Quote:
DOVER, Del. – TV comedian Bill Maher is taking another jab at Republican Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, who as a conservative Christian activist was a frequent guest on his "Politically Incorrect" show in the 1990s.

After O'Donnell won last week's GOP primary in Delaware with the help of tea party activists, Maher played a 1999 tape in which she said she had dabbled in witchcraft while in high school.

Maher threatened to show more old clips of O'Donnell unless she appeared on his current cable show, "Real Time with Bill Maher."

On Friday night, Maher made good on his threat, showing another clip from the 1990s in which O'Donnell challenged the theory of evolution.

"Evolution is a myth," O'Donnell said, starting to explain her position before Maher interrupted.

"Evolution is a myth?" he asked. "Have you ever looked at a monkey?"

"Well then why aren't they, why aren't monkeys still evolving into humans?" O'Donnell responded.


O'Donnell expressed similar views in 1996 as a spokeswoman for Concerned Women for America, a conservative Christian group, saying on a CNN broadcast that "too many people are blindly accepting evolution as fact."

"But when you get down to the hard evidence, it's merely a theory," she said, adding that there was "just as much, if not more" evidence for creationism, and that both views should be taught in schools.

The O'Donnell campaign did not immediately respond Friday night to e-mail and telephone messages seeking comment.
post #67 of 99
Is she seriously asking why apes are not evolving into humans before her eyes, over the course of her life span? Jesus fucking christ. If you want to observe the process evolution, study bacteria, for crying out loud

EDIT: PS: Go Bill! Can't wait to catch this episode (I don't have HBO so I don't watch REAL TIME in real time, but for the record I've not missed a single episode since september 2005)

Thank god O'Donnell is there to protect us against both masturbation and the Chinese.

And of course the Teabagger response is "But she's right to question separation of church and state because it's not in the constitution!!!" Even though the rest of the video makes it clear that she just plain doesn't know the constitution, including the amendments that Tea Partiers are in a flap about right now.
post #76 of 99
Well, now we'll get the back-pedaling nit-picking that the Bill of Rights technically isn't part of the Constitution, even though they're amendments to the goddamn thing.

For fuck's sake.

I'm done. I'm out. I can't take this shit anymore.

I refuse to believe there are people out there that respect and support this brand of ignorance. I mean, I know they exist, but if they can blatantly ignore facts, then so can I, damn it.

Also, I think as a protest against O'Donnell, I'm going to masturbate vigorously between now and the election. Maybe while thinking of hatefucking her.

Is that in poor taste?

Well, take solace in the fact that she's going to lose by a wide margin and possibly drag a few other conservative candidates down with her.

You weren't already doing that?

Last week on Real Time With Bill Maher, they showed a great compilation of her many stints on PI where everyone from Clive Barker to Al Franken to Ben Affleck sputters in frustration trying to argue with her idiocacy.

Five cents says she wins. Being as dumb as her weight in hammers hasn't stopped her from getting this far.

Yeah, but these guys are proto-conservatives. They think that if the founding fathers wanted to have amendments, then they would have written them into the original document. Of course that reasoning doesn't make a lick of sense to all of us, but I feel like I'm paraphrasing someone who's tripping on some really bad acid just by writing this post.

Which they kind of, you know, did with the first 10. Not that it would mean much to someone who doesn't have any idea what's in the very first one.

Truth is, though, this disconnect is nothing new. When liberals were outraged at Bush for all the unitary executive powers he sought out, these "freedom luvrs" were pretty much silent. I know part of that is due to good ol' fashioned partisanship but that can't explain the extent of the ignorance on display. These people fundamentally do not understand the logic and philosophy behind the politics/policy they claim to represent.

I don't care. In a country where this woman can get this far in politics, anything is possible. And it's not like the Democrats aren't good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Are you not amazed that the Republicans are where they are today considering they were all but sent into exile two years ago?

That's because their stated philosophy is largely bullshit. We're talking about some of the same people carrying around those "Muslims can build a mosque in New York when we can build a cathedral in Mecca" signs. I'd call them hypocrites, but I think they really are just that stupid. Indeed, the overwhelming evidence is that they WANT to be willfully, blindly ignorant of any genuine facts that run counter to what Fox News has told them to believe.

I still wonder how many of them know that Fox News' second biggest shareholder is a Saudi Prince?

Anyway. I'm sure there are a select few among the Tea Party that are reasonably intelligent people that have well-thought-out reasons for their political stance. It just doesn't seem like any of THOSE guys (or girls) are getting pushed to any positions of national prominence.

Saudis aren't Muslim fundamentalists, silly. If they were why would a couple of good Christian boys like Bush and Cheney be so buddy-buddy with them?

Oh, to be like them and have absolute command over my perception of reality. I envy them so much. Being able to instinctively discard from reality any sort of fact that challenges or disproves your chosen beliefs must be so relaxing.

Relaxing for them, sure. It's hell on the folks that try to retain any semblance of critical thinking skills and form their own opinions rather than having them spoon-fed by television personalities, though.

I feel like the tea party ideal is exactly that sort of low-functioning comprehension of political theory or how government operates. They don't understand this stuff-- not that I pretend to have a perfect grasp on everything myself, but fuck, at least I try to educate myself-- and they don't want the people who represent them to, either. What makes a candidate, in my estimation having surveyed the circumference of the tea party mentality, is the common man factor. "O'Donnell is just like me! I can relate to her! I want her in office!"

Maybe on a truly base level I can understand wanting to be able to relate to a politician, but maintaining a political office isn't the kind of work that the average schmuck is cut out for. Even local level government-- like running a town-- is demanding and incredibly challenging. Why would I want someone like me-- someone who struggles to decide whether they want toast or cereal for breakfast (or both!) and also to determine if there's enough time for bacon (trick question, there's always time for bacon)-- making big decisions that effect an entire constituency? Why?

The tea party can champion mediocrity and flat-out ignorance as long as they want but eventually it's going to bite that entire mob of slavering neanderthals on their collective asses. Fine, elect O'Donnell to office. You'll be sorry.

O'DONNELL: [Pause] Well, she's not a senator any more, but I would definitely have to say Hillary Clinton. [...]

COONS: One of the real risks as we go forward, is that if we elect someone who literally cannot name a single currently serving senator in my party with whom she would work -

O'DONNELL: Senator Lieberman!

The only better response to "Give me a name, Christine, of someone in the U.S. Senate, across the aisle that you're comfortable working with." would have been, "Well, I don't know where I'll be sitting yet."
