Christine O'Donnell: 'I Dabbled in Witchcraft'
ABC news ^ | September 18 2010 | RYAN CREED

Posted on 09/18/2010 11:49:47 AM PDT by Michel12

Fresh off her victory in Delaware, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell is riding a wave of campaign cash but also internet infamy, thanks in part to her controversial statements -- most notably on masturbation -- in the late 1990s on Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect." Christine O'Donnell says one of her first dates occurred on a satanic altar.

On Friday, Maher released on his new HBO show, "Real Time," an unaired clip of O'Donnell admitting to a brief dalliance with witchcraft.

"Sometimes in politics, there are bad candidates and horrible candidates. O'Donnell appears to be the later, not the former."

Using the backstabbing, RomneyCARE-delivering, shapeshifting
Mitt Romney as the BASELINE of horrible candidates,
Christine O'Donnell is A-OK. You betcha.

Do Christians criticize Paul for the acts he committed before setting out on that road to Damascus?

She crushed the old fart . Get used to it . Maybe Karlina Rove will take time away from beating up on the woman and concentrate on the man in this race .

I believe that more and more every day, the name calling and incivility on this forum is at an all time high, as if the Daily Kos crowd or Democrat Underground, has established more than a foothold on this site.

Big Deal!

So she did some stupid things when she was VERY young — who hasn’t?

She talks about her first date — that must have been indeed when she was very young — if a Dem had said what she did, they would celebrate her as someone who has an open and inquiring mind.

This just shows how desperate the Dems are and how much they fear her and a Republican takeover of the Senate, to dredge up something like this that happened probably at least 20 years ago.

I think an argument could be made to the effectiveness of ritual. I think it has been made, actually.

Unless you think that some dark force is pushing Christine O'Donnell to run for Senator of Delaware I think we can safely rule out ritual-dabbling as being detrimental to her serving as a good conservative.

Agreed. This attack is ridiculous. Christian churches are filled with former felons, drug addicts, atheists, etc. Repentance and forgiveness are at the center of the faith, and this should not hurt her.

She is not a perfect candidate, but she is the Republican candidate for Delaware Senator. Who are you going to support, a former witch or a tax hiking marxist? After Brown and Christie, how can anyone say a well-funded candidate can’t win.

Here in AZ, Dems have 4 of 8 Congressional seats. 2 are already gone; and the 3rd (AZ 5) should be. The dems were only “guaranteed” to hold one seat; Grijalva’s. But, from a local blog - Espresso pundit:
Herstam had the most interesting prediction. He thinks that Congressman Grijalva might be in for a serious fight. He cites polling that says the race is a dead heat.

Fight for every seat, including O’Donnell’s.

What’s the big deal? There’s probably millions of Twilight fans read to one-up this story and/or experience. Look in the Hot Topic in the mall and behold :)

My girlfriends and I as youngsters used to do the “light as a feather stiff as a board” and also used ouija boards too.

Does that make me a witch?

>>>She evidently made an educated decision to become a strong Christian.<<<

College years are a time to learn - experiment - and make decisions that form your future...

Christine tried them and decided on Christian Values...

Chris Coons went to Kenya and came back a “Bearded Marxist”.

OldDeckie is a Palin basher. Look at his history.

Don’t even waste your time.

Why would a media industry that hypes and glorifies vampires, vampire clans and vampire themes, as one of their biggest promotional themes on TV and in movies of late GIVE TWO HOOTS about O'Donnell and a past dalliance she had with witchcraft (if that's the truth of it)?

Will it turn off THEIR (ABC's) followers?

NO.

They are hoping to separate O'Donnell from HER followers. There is ZERO other purpose to this story.

People...get a grip here! This is really really much ado about NOTHING......watched the video and was expecting some horrid stuff, instead it made me laugh. This show happened when it was a “fun” show and quite amusing at times so appreciate it in the context in which it was delivered...pure entertainment. There is nothing to worry about. The real practicing witch in government right now is Pelosi...known as the wicked witch of the west. If people want to call Christine a witch, it will be the Good Witch!

Christine O’Donnell will win because the country is fed up to it’s eyeballs with our government.

I understand that...I was referencing his belief that many of the sign-ups over the past few years at FR don’t seem to be interested in advancing the conservative agenda...I agree with him.

yeah that’d be a pretty good response, maybe throw in a line about not being a marxist as well for good measure.

That’s correct, from the very same interview:

“One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn’t know it. That’s correct.”

She was a kid and she had no idea what this guy was into by her own admission in the very same interview. She had no idea what the altar was. This is a bunch of nonsense. So she went out on a date as a teenager with a loser she knew little about. Who hasn’t done the same.

Maher is a loathsome individual who weekly makes an idiot of himself in a left wing echo chamber. Who on earth cares?
