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.

” They really were so far up Rep. Mike Castle’s butt, they can’t see daylight.”

Makes you wonder how much they have invested in CCX, or some other scheme - doesn’t it?

LOL!

[meadsjn]

his name is there, about three inches from the post: John Hinderaker

I apologize. John Hinderaker really is not just an anonymous, muckraking, slimeball, pissant. He's really somebody. What a muckraking, slimeball, pissant John Hinderaker is.

The question asked over and over:
Why is POWERLINE attacking O’Donnell?
Just follow the dots (once again showing WHO is in BED with Mitt).

POWERLINE: Is Romney becoming the choice of mainstream conservatives?"

---

POWERLINE: Douglas Kmiec has endorsed Barack Obama for president.
Kmiec is ... co-chair of the Romney for President Advisory Committee on the Constitution and the Courts."

---

POWERLINE: Mitt Romney and the Supreme Court
Douglas W. Kmiec is ... co-chair of the Romney for President Advisory Committee on the Constitution and the Courts.
(he) argues that a President Romney would appoint Justices who decide cases consistent with a deep understanding of the rule of law
(in contrast to what he did to Massachusetts over and over and over and over)"

---

POWERLINE: Romney Surging
.. the latest round of activity on the immigration front appears to have hurt McCain
(even though Romney invited ten million illegal immigrants to Massachusetts
from where he then fled)"

---

“Go Mitt. Go Mitt. Go Mitt.”

“Rove is pushing Romney so aggressively some folks are beginning to wonder what's going on,” grumbled one veteran Republican strategist.”

---

“Rove has made no secret of his support for Romney as McCain’s VP. ”

---

"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

---

The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Barrack Obama hung out with terrorists when he was, oops He stool does

[counterpunch]

I thought O’Donnell was running in Delaware, not Massachusetts.

[paulycy]

There is a robot which selects ads based on the content of the page. Not meaning to support PL, but they have nothing to do with the ad.

I understand the technology and the coincidence, but the hypocracy remains if they are taking advertising dollars for "dabbling" in something that their article says will kill someone else's political career.

This is a HOOT!

[NoLibZone]

As a site operator I can have any ad filtered I deem inappropriate.

Powerline ran the Satans mark ad.

She’s only a few years younger than I am. When I was a teenager lots of kids played around with things like witchcraft. One weird kid in my school practiced Navaho religious rites despite the fact that he was Polish.

My thing was drugs and alcohol.

[allmendream]

I don't mean this particular incident at all, I agree it is small change.

But how many more “bodies” does he have to throw out, and what does Maher thinking she was the ideal representative for Conservatism/Christianity on HIS show mean?

It doesn't mean anything good to me.

But it is a little late now.

[Bob]

“Previously unseen” would cover quite a lot of Maher’s work over the years.

And "currently unseen" covers his recent work.

[EverOnward]

And “vetted” means what to the elitists?

[central_va]

Witches can be kool....

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

I didn't realize Powerline was a liberal republican site

I never realized it was any kind of a Republican site. Been RIPping conservatives for some time.

[tennmountainman]

HEY POWERLINE Let’s wait and see what she and the campaign have to say about this before you toss her overboard.

[GilGil]

And Obama was Bill Ayer’s best pal a man who blew up the Pentagon and whose wife killed cops.

And Obama is not eligible to be president since he is not natural born.

And Obama has publicly stated that people who believe in the constituion are etrenists and crazy.

Therefore there is no story in Obama, but O’Donell is the real nut.

Ah! Huh!
