Christine O'Donnell's Career, RIP (Power Line)

Christine O'Donnell's campaign went off the rails today when Bill Maher announced that he has previously-unseen clips of O'Donnell from the late 1990s when she appeared several times on his show. In one clip, she says that she once "dabbled into witchcraft."

I dabbled into witchcraft -- I never joined a coven. But I did, I did. ... I dabbled into witchcraft. I hung around people who were doing these things. I'm not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do. [...]

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. ... We went to a movie and then had a midnight picnic on a satanic altar.

I don't get a CHIT if this woman had sex with monkeys or entered a wet tee-shirt contest...MY QUESTION is WILL there be a debate between her and Coons?? Screw the past. The folk in Delaware deserve to hear where these folks stand. What the're going to do to fix the unemployment rate, how are they doing to create more jobs, how are they doing to control the runaway states spending and how are they going to limit tax hikes. Folk want solutions not salacious past experiences....I HOPE the folk there demand a debate to find out what there campaign message is about!!

The interview was in the late 90s. He visit to a coven happened years before that.

You mean, as opposed to driving a car off into the water and killing a woman, or being a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, or taking part in a "waitress sandwich"? That kind of "normal everyday behavior"?

Or maybe starting your career in the home of a guy who bombed the Pentagon and is still proud about it?

[Cold Heat]

I am shocked at their apparent vitriol and their desire to prove their illicit predictions.

I am considering tossing the app and links to their once intelligent blog into the trash.

Yes, only Liberals are allowed to be sinners, Conservatives are suppose to be saints.

These libertines have no concept how Christians think.

[cripplecreek]

This is all about distracting attention away from her marxist opponent.

[TennesseeProfessor]

I *almost* feel sorry for the RINOs. They pointed out she is (allegedly) unelectable. We don’t care. They pointed out she (allegedly) has financial issues. We don’t care. Now they point out that 11 years ago she claimed to once (as in, even more than 11 years ago) dabbled in witchcraft. Guess what — we still don’t care!

[devere]

By their lights she never could have been nominated.

RINOs should join Rats so we have one unified enemy to defeat.

[cydcharisse]

Was she ever responsible for drowning anyone?

[fortheDeclaration]

And she didn't run for Senator 6 years ago?

There is only ONE choice left, her or a Communist.

Well at this point it is a little late, but that alone should have raised some red flags.

[Brilliant]

Delaware ran the 3 Stooges for the Senate. Now there are only two.

[greeneyes]

America elected a President whose entire life records are sealed, and they seriously want people to get concerned about what someone did when they were young and stupid?

First tell me all about Coons and his past, then Obama and his past, then I'll listen to your complaints about this woman's past.

Fair and balanced - let the chips fall where they may.

[NoLibZone]

This Power line?

[EGPWS]

Maher is so full of himself.

Constipation issues that can be treated.

[Pox]

There are precious few politicians who have no skeletons in their closet. Hers will be blown out of proportion by the left due to the fact she beat a favorite RINO of theirs and also due to the belief that they are certain that she will lose to their preferred marxist opponent.

Will the MSM go after Coons in the same manner? You can guarantee they will not.

The marxists will ALWAYS hammer the conservative nominee while giving the dem a pass. That is now a fact of life and if you believe that conservatives can continually field squeaky clean candidates, I believe you are only kidding yourself.

[brytlea]

Oh will you PLEASE stop actually reading things! ;)

[HerrBlucher]

And so what is so bad about a Christian talking about youthful indiscretions and then repenting and becoming a Christian? Sounds like a great Christian story to me, actually it sounds like a typical Christian story.

This is a non issue that will last about two days. It looks like the gay sister slam is already over with....LOL!

[RoseofTexas]

Ooops sorry for the misspelled words...but you get the drift!
