John McCain & the Wall Street Journal attacked the tea party and Christine O'Donnell as HOBBITS, who think they are going to vanquish "Mordor" (the evil kingdom) and return to the Shire. McCain (quoting from the Wall Street Journal) went out of his way to target Christine O'Donnell and Sharron Angle as the examples of the tea party movement that veteran Senator John McCain was criticizing. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/07/28/angle-odonnell-slam-mccain-over-tea-party-hobbits-speech/?test=latestnewsBut apparently this national political uproar of insiders viewing tea party political activists as "the little people" who are like "Hobbits" was no accident. Christine O'Donnell's academic interest in Tolkien's use of imagery from...

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington violated their 501(c)3 mandate when they set out on a politically motivated smear campaign against former Delaware U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell. The IRS has laid out criteria for organizations who receive special tax exemptions and rates and one of those criteria has to do with restrictions on political activism. Specifically, the IRS website states: Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions...

Mr. McCain mocked Tea Party-allied Republicans in the House for believing — wrongly, he said — that President Obama and Democrats will get the blame for a default if Republicans refuse to increase the nation’s debt ceiling. By that flawed logic, “Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced budget amendment and reform entitlements and the Tea Party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth,” he said, quoting a Wall Street Journal editorial. “This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell into G.O.P. nominees,” he jeered, referring to two losing Tea Party...

April 23, 2011 (Dover, Delaware) -- Randall Chase, the Associated Press' Delaware Bureau Reporter, embarrassed the Associated Press over the Easter weekend with a negligently false report about Christine O'Donnell's campaign and her campaign finance reports. Randall Chase falsely reported that in April 2009, Christine O"Donnell was not a declared candidate for office. In fact, CHRISTINE O'DONNELL DECLARED HERSELF A CANDIDATE FOR THE 2010 ELECTION CYCLE IN DECEMBER 2008 On February 12, 2009, the Delaware Business Ledger reported "O'Donnell wastes no time in announcing Senate candidacy." On February 13, 2009, radio station WDEL reported "Christine O'Donnell to run for U.S....

All of the news clips dishonestly edits this Bill Maher program from October 29, 1999, to misrepresent what Christine O’Donnell actually said. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZlbZl7vbLE&feature=player_embedded Christine O’Donnell was simultaneously: o REJECTING influences like witchcraft and Satanic influences in Halloween but o Reponding to criticisms that she was speaking from a lack of knowledge, criticism that she was exaggerating. Christine mentioned the dabbling issue to argue that she had KNOWLEDGE that withcraft and satanic influences are bad, and should not be celebrated. She was explaining that it was *BAD* — and that she knew it was bad from personal experience. When challenged on...

Mice with human brains In January, an informal ethics committee at Stanford University endorsed a proposal to create mice with brains nearly completely made of human brain cells. Stem cell scientist Irving Weissman said his experiment could provide unparalleled insight into how the human brain develops and how degenerative brain diseases like Parkinson’s progress. Particularly worrisome to some scientists are the nightmare scenarios that could arise from the mixing of brain cells: What if a human mind somehow got trapped inside a sheep’s head? The “idea that human neuronal cells might participate in 'higher order' brain functions in a nonhuman...

Why do liberal eiltes portray Barack Obama as a genius despite his inability to talk without a teleprompter, but seek to portray intelligent conservatives as not intelligent? CLICK HERE to see how Barack Obama stumbles around in his many gaffes. So why don't these mistakes earn Obama the ridicule of the immature, mocking Left? CLICK HERE to compare Barack Obama with his Vice President JOE BIDEN from Delaware. Which Gaffe machine is the greatest? And why do the liberal news media ignore the embarassing moments of liberals?

The mystery of Christine O'Donnell's rent and campaign expenses has now been solved -- but not by any quality work by the news media, of course. One of the scams run by the liberal news media and the Left was the claim that Christine O'Donnell used campaign money to pay her rent. Of course there has been no evidence of this and O'Donnell denies it. The accusation is that O'Donnell's U.S. Senate campaign paid "half the rent" on the condominium townhouse that Christine lived in in Wilmington, Delaware. So imagine my surprise, when I visited my friend Christine after the...

Violations of campaign finance laws were committed NOT by Christine O'Donnell, but apparently instead by former Congressman Mike Castle, the candidate for U.S. Senate in Delaware, as revealed in his Federal Election Commission campaign finance reports. Unlike O'Donnell who was clearly a candidate for office in January 2009, Mike Castle did not file a Statement of Candidacy until October 19, 2009. As a result, none of Mike Castle's expenses from January 2009 through October 2009 would qualify as legitimate campaign expenses -- at least if we apply the Delaware Republican Party's own standards from their attacks on Christine O'Donnell. Castle's...

Former Senate candidate and tea party favorite Christine O’Donnell will not be donning a leotard anytime soon. The Republican announced Monday night that she has declined an invitation to samba with celebrities on “Dancing With the Stars.” The Delaware Republican said in a statement that she finds the ABC show to be “one of the few uplifting TV shows out there.” But she’s choosing instead to finish her book on the 2010 election cycle and her new political action committee

Please forward to all your receptive friends. It is UNLIKELY that Christine O'Donnell would do this. She has already said she has two left feet -- SHE DOESN'T, I've seen her -- but mainly shewants to focus on her book on politics and the resulting book tour as an opportunity to fight for the issues we care about. Please vote in this poll for Christine: Note this is not whether you think Christine should actually go on Dancing with the Stars, but is a vote of popularity to show who is more liked and is more popular. So you don't...

"Just got the official ‘ask’ from ‘Dancing With The Stars’!! Although I am utterly flattered, my initial thought was to decline, as 2-year-old nephew has more rhythm than me, and my two left feet!! What do you think?” (Former Senate hopeful Christine O’Donnell, in a Facebook message to her 26,000 followers)

Delaware Republican State Chairman Tom Ross “imploded” at the Sussex County GOP monthly meeting on February 16, 2011, fueling reports by one Delaware opinion reporter that Ross does not plan to seek re-election at the State’s April 30, 2011, State Republican Convention. “Because it is true!” Ross angrily proclaimed when asked why he said that US Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell “could not be elected dog-catcher in Delaware.” The remark was explosive because the GOP Chair thus dramatically abandoned his earlier attempts to build bridges with the more conservative wing of the Delaware GOP in the State’s Southernmost county, Sussex. Ross’...

Tom Ross capped off 10 minutes of trying to build bridges with conservatives by blowing himself up and angering conservatives, with these renewed attacks on Christine O'Donnell.

ABC News' Gregory Simmons reports: It looks like former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell is positioning herself to play a Palinesque role in the upcoming election cycle.  In a letter to supporters today, O’Donnell announced she is establishing ChristinePAC to “investigate and counter attack leftwing groups” and to help pay for her expenses as she travels around the country speaking. “This is a way that will help me counter attack our opponents and bring the battle to them,” she wrote. O’Donnell, whose name has become synonymous with the Tea Party Movement, says she won’t submit to the Left who attack her because...

In a report released on Thursday, former Senator Ted Kaufman, head of the bipartisan Congressional Oversight Panel, said the Treasury Department’s sale of General Motors shares — at 26 percent below the price needed to recover taxpayer assets in full — may have been premature, locking in billions of dollars in losses,
