O'Donnell Witch Hunt
IBD Editorials ^ | September 20, 2010 | Investors Business Daily staff

Posted on 09/20/2010 6:18:36 PM PDT by Kaslin

Politics: The GOP's chosen nominee for senator from Delaware is being asked to defend comments about the occult. Hey, it's not as if she "dabbled" in the KKK or Marxism or seanced with a very dead Eleanor Roosevelt.

Be careful whom you date in high school or what you dabble in to humor a boyfriend. Those skeletons in your closet may come back to haunt you, particularly if you become a conservative Tea Party candidate fighting to stop creeping socialism in America.

Last Friday, comedian Bill Maher, whose cable show "Real Time" is considered by liberals as a real news source (unlike, say, Fox News), dug up and showed an 11-year-old interview from 1999 in which O'Donnell, then 30 years old, said she "dabbled in witchcraft" because she "hung around people who were doing these things" in high school.

O'Donnell graduated from Moorestown (N.J.) High School in 1987, a dozen years before the Maher appearance. If political candidates are to be judged by what they did or hung with in high school, we are taking the vetting process to extremes.

Two days later, pundit Karl Rove, whose primary night critique of O'Donnell caused a stir, was on "Fox News Sunday" saying: "In Delaware, where there are a lot of churchgoing people, they're going to want to know what this is all about."

Perhaps, but they also want to know about her position on the repeal of ObamaCare and extending the Bush tax cuts.

She was a senior in HIGH SCHOOL when this happened!!

I'm a practicing Catholic and I did the Ouija Board for a few months, which is against my religion (didn't know that at the time, though).

If I were Mr. Chris “Bearded Marxist” Coons or Romneybot Karl Rove, I’d think twice about all this. They have many more skeletons than Miss O’Donnell could possibly have.

Well that explains it! Lots of teenage girls rebel. Like I said, the question to ask: is O'Donnell going to enslave us further to the government, or give us greater freedom?

Interesting how Rove went from "Magnificent Bastard" to just simply "Fat Bastard" in such a short time. Oh well, such is the way of snake pit politics ......

If she were still practicing, Karl Rove would be sitting on a lily pad snagging meals with his tongue.

This just politics as usual. Vote for the anointed ones and continue to work to pay taxes till you drop dead in the process. Too much blood was spilled to avoid this very thing. Rove is worse than a whore.

LOL. I remember that movie, “The Craft”. I thought it was totally ridiculous, but then I wasn’t in high school when I watched it.

Bill Mahr is such a tool. Did he really think anyone would care what someone did in HIGH SCHOOL?—I mean besides the chattering class. Talk about desperate.

The bane of free men has always been politics and those earn their living in that "profession."

And then there’s Barry, who no one in the ministry of propaganda seemed to think was worthy of any vetting at all.
Any wonder we think the LSM are MORONS of the highest order?

Was not Barry Sortoro a coke druggie and a pusher in Highe School?!

All of Barry’s wild drug practices are A-O-K, but her comment about witchcraft is a deal breaking disqualifier?!

People MUST know see the Red Media is only pressing this because they want to protect their criminals...right?!
