Court documents obtained Saturday by THE WEEKLY STANDARD reveal surprising new details about the gender discrimination and wrongful termination lawsuit filed by Christine O'Donnell in 2005 against her former employer, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, a conservative non-profit based in Delaware.* O'Donnell, who is now challenging moderate congressman Mike Castle in the September 14 Delaware GOP Senate primary, sought $6.95 million in damages. In a court complaint, she extensively detailed the "mental anguish" she suffered after allegedly being demoted and fired because of her gender. And, although she didn't have a bachelor's degree until this year, O'Donnell implied she was taking Master's degree classes at Princeton University in 2003.
O'Donnell alleged in a July 1, 2005 complaint filed in district court that she had been demoted because ISI's conservative philosophy dictated that women must be subordinate to men. She claimed she was fired when she contacted the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regarding her demotion. ISI told the Delaware News Journal that she had been "terminated for operating a for-profit business."
O'Donnell's finances, honesty, and stability have been called into question in light of her false and strange claims. The court complaint raises further questions on all fronts. O'Donnell, who made an annual salary of $65,000 at ISI as director of communications and public affairs, sought up to $6,952,477 million in damages, claiming, among other allegations, that ISI had defamed her and had violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. O'Donnell sought:
--Up to $3,952,447 in "Direct Damages, including back pay" and "lifetime lost income and liftetime damage to reputation."

It is better to ignore them, but the smears are lies. And the compliant proves it to me.
You missed what Hewitt was saying about JD Hayworth Supporters, pretty much called them stupid for not supporting John McCain.
Again, I accept all these “smears”. Others call them bumps and pitfalls of a non-protected life , a life not filled with flackies to smooth the potholes.
Mike Castle is so proud of you.
Of course they would, and, as wonderful a person as you no doubt are, you may just be too flawed (through no fault of your own) of a candidate to win.
That's just life. Not everyone is the best candidate for office. For some, they are of more value to the conservative movement doing GOTV, or being a strategist, etc.
Here are some examples of what I mean. There are actual ex-criminals who are now conservatives in every way - they just wouldn't probably make a good candidate in many places. Doesn't mean they can't contribute in many ways. There are people with multiple bankruptcies and horrendous financial problems that are STILL conservative, yet have personally failed to manage their money whom just wouldn't make a good candidate in many places. Again, it doesn't mean they can't do their part - just maybe not as a candidate for high office. Hell, there are people that are just generally physically unattractive enough that it detracts from their electability. It is sad, but it is what it is - still doesn't mean they can't make a difference (just not as a candidate).
Your past has a huge impact on electability, and it does have to be factored in when deciding who to vote for in a primary. I mean, this is just reality. It may not be fair, but then, life isn't fair.
That is what the propagandist does, Onyx. Drive-by kneecapping. Get ready. We’ll be seeing more of this McCormack boob.
The lawsuit was dropped. There is no evidence ISI had such a philosophy.
But the question is, why did O’Donnell call such a philosophy “conservative”? Do you believe it is conservative to dictate that women be subordinate to men in work-related matters?
Unfortunately, there are weak-minded among us as a result of the dumbing down of society; it apparently doesn’t take much to throw them off their game and cause them to lose their focus.
“Well, before you can refer to them as ‘lies,’”
You just admitted they were from the Ruling Class.
You know, I have NO idea what college Mike Castle attended, when he graduated, what he studied.
But it’s like all the end of the world about Christine’s education record.
You don’t think that’s odd?
” THE WILLIAM KRISTOL/FRED BARNES AND MIKE CASTLE WING OF THE GOP WEIGHS IN “
why weren’t they digging up on obama BEFORE he won the primaries
The lawsuit was dropped. She gave it up, when it wasn’t going anywhere. She filed a complaint with the Bush EOC, and they refused to prosecute.
Or maybe you think that the Bush EOC was opposed to workplace equity, and falsely ignored her complaint because they were RINOs who wanted to punish her for running against Castle in 2010 (using the same time machine that Castle supporters used before they broke into her house in 2008).
You've got that right. They are becoming as dangerous as Obama, et al, just to hang on to power!
They will obviously say and do anything to win.
In other words, you favor the Ruling Class.
And either you support rinos, or you think they don’t exist.
Whatever.
Mike Castle is sooooo proud of you.
I adjust my story to proclaim that Christine O’Donnell took waaaaay to long to pay off her unpaid college bills.
With a record like that....damn think of the damage she’d do if elected Senator.
She might vote for Cap and Trade....the DISCLOSE ACT...
....NO WAIT!
The complaint proves nothing. My cursory take is that it was an attempt at extortion against ISI, that failed.
The thing is that Castle is not the enemy of the Ruling Class. The Ruling Class supports Castle.
So GOP establishment has not sent out minions to find dirt on Castle.
Like they did with O’Donnell. To take what any normal person might have in their background and try to make it sound incriminating.
Your best hope, to continue your support of the Ruling Class, is to ignore the real Christine O’Donnell.
“The complaint proves nothing. My cursory take is that it was an attempt at extortion against ISI, that failed.”
Oh. Nice to see you again shilling for Castle. Your cursory take is wrong. Why don’t you debate on the facts and the law? Is it retaliation to to fire someone a week after they they file an EEOC complaint, which is a legally and constitutionally protected activity?
Maybe in Stalinist Russia or in your perfect little RINO world, it is legal but not in the United States.
Come back when you have something in your little quiver other than your smears.
