O'Donnell's Oxford (latest)
Politico ^ | 9/30/10 | Ben Smith

Posted on 09/30/2010 9:06:53 AM PDT by pissant

Christine O'Donnell has denied that she created the LinkedIn profile that said she went to Oxford.

Now the DNC is circulating another online resume for her making the same claim, this one with a "user verified" tag.

The resume isn't a carbon copy of the LinkedIn profile, but it does give her a "Certificate , Post Modernism in the New Millennium, University of Oxford."

Snarks DNC national press secretary Hari Sevugan: "Apparently they don't teach Google at the Fake Oxford University."

The problem with a lot of these 'user verified' is they are nothing more than providing an email address or phone number. It does nothing to guarantee that the person who you are looking at on Linked In or other site, is actually who they claim- just that this wasn't created by a computer bot.

LinkdIn?

Their charge is she made a spurious claim on a free website that anybody can create an account on in anybody's name?

Seriously?

IF she is making stuff up on her resume (not just embellishing it), we will be talking about Senator Coons (YUK!) after November 2.

So if I tell someone that I drove through Cambridge I can get nailed for falsely saying I graduated from Harvard.

That's more of a stretch than saying the Weathermen were chemistry enthusiasts.

That jackass Karl Rove should've warned us about all this dirt coming out! /s

Yup. Someone who knows her EMail and phone... Fake Lindekins, oppressed maids at $23/hr, Dead Indians voting in 2002 in South Dakota, Ballot Boxes in the trunk of local Rat official's hybrid cars in Minnesota only marked in the Senate race...... or as John eFfing Kerry said, "Cut off noses, pulling teeth with pliers ..." or something like that. Standard operating procedures, the un-Democratic Party

If she didn't create the profile or make the claim in the first place (I don't know the truth) then that analogy is moot. This would be more of my saying that you claimed to have graduated from Harvard when you didn't.

Waiting to see how this plays out. I'm not happy about a lot of stuff coming out about O'Donnell, but still trying to wade through the political smears versus reality. Either way, even if she is a little nutty on science stuff, right now I care about numbers and I would rather have someone who thinks mice have human brains and the earth is 6k years old (nothing that would impact actual votes) than a person who think Karl Marx created a good national role model.

I’ve made my negative statements about O’Donnell, but this is farcical. The site referenced, zoominfo, has my info in there, and it invites me to “claim” it. Also, the info on me is close, but not entirely accurate. I have never been to the site before.

I wouldn’t be surprised in the least. Some people get a kick out of picking on women.

I think the dems are giving her campaign the death of a thousand cuts now so the soundness of their charges becomes secondary. But I'm afraid the unpolished public persona of Miss O'Donnell has given them enough molehills over the years for them to construct the appearance of a mountain to the undecided middle. Of course, sometimes political types have been known to overplay their hand...

Zoominfo? Good grief.. that just compiles search results and creates a ‘profile’ based on who it thinks you are. It could have compiled info from a dozen different Christine O’Donnells.

I thought people who post on this site weren't supposed to like the elitist ivy-league types.

What she needs to do for the next month is take her $2Million and go door to door visiting as many people as she can, clearly showing a difference between her- just a citizen, and Coons, a career politician. Creating a personal relationship with the voters is the only way to overcome the attacks.

She's running against a self-avowed "bearded Marxist."

I'll see your thousand paper-cuts an raise you a razor blade to the throat.

Don’t be stupid. I’ve been supporting O’DOnnell since long before your boss told you it was OK
