Saint Paul took great joy in watching Christians being stoned to death, then later went on to spread Christianity to the world. Christine’s dabbling in witchcraft as a teenager pales in comparison. Considering what she is now, a Christian conservative, I find her story of redemption inspiring.
Rove probably took his kids to see Harry Potter at the time.
I gather this "dating a witch" thing happened in...high school? Sheesh.
I think she watched a “Bewitched” rerun.
That is hilarious... meanwhile, my take on this is that a lot of people when they are young “dabble” with a lot of bad stuff - drugs, alcohol, sexual liaisons, and even pagan doings, including witchcraft. Meanwhile, the people who are trying to mock her now for her comments probably think nothing of going to a psychic, playing with Tarot cards, or a host of other abominable activities that all fall under the rubric of witchcraft.
I don’t know what to say about this woman or her potential for office but I know this much. I like that she might be a little too honest. I’m sick of all these people who script everything they say as if they are perfect when they fall far from the mark. And, frankly, her financial issues are a little more worrisome.
Meanwhile, I find it interesting that a comment from someone about something like this is given such enormous scrutiny yet Obama got elected while being in a damnable church for 20 plus years - he could’ve been a Voodoo master, or the dang head of a witches’ coven and still would have been elected.
Why is it “dumbass” to tell a redemption story? Obviously, all redemption stories must have something that needs redeeming, in Christine’s case it was dabbling with witchcraft, in other cases its promiscuity, alcoholism, drug addiction, liberalism, etc. It wasn’t dumbass at all it was just being honest about her past.
Rove might well reveal when the last time was he could see “himself”.
I smoked pot in High Screwl.....I’m not a left leaning hippy now.
Well, liberals are never gonna vote for her so that isn’t who she needs to worry about. And if it was just a one-time thing, probably not that big a deal, but anything satanic freaks me out personally.
She turned me into a newt....but I got better.
my first crush.
Brilliant. Go on national TV and say “I used to beat my dog”.
Good points. I dabbled with seriously ugly eye shadow colors. Now how’s that for being stupid?
I go to church every Sunday, live in Sussex county, and I remember a time I was “into” vampires.
Hell....it was around high school. Some girlfriends and I would sit and talk about it....sometimes watch vampire movies. “Salem’s Lot” by Steve King was one of our faves.
I mean....sheesh. And Karl Rove stands up and sanctimoniously demands an explanation like this is worth dipsquat.
And he is strangley silent on that Chris Coons “I AM A BEARDED MARXIST” thing...you think Rove could have demanded an explanation on this? No wait! That’s the Dem party...Rove doesn’t want to hurt them.
Thank you and Amen.
From Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals
Rule 5: Ridicule is mans most potent weapon. Its hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
I heard she turned Karl into a newt, but he got better.
Yeah. It freaks me out too.
Why would you say such a thing on national TV?
