Christine O'Donnell in 1999: 'I dabbled into witchcraft'
Washington Post ^ | Matt DeLong

Posted on 09/18/2010 8:29:08 AM PDT by tlb

Bill Maher -- on whose former show, "Politically Incorrect," O'Donnell appeared repeatedly in the late 1990s -- showed a previously unaired clip from Oct. 29, 1999, on his current HBO program, "Real Time,":

O'DONNELL: 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.

Maher said he will show a previously unaired clip every week until O'Donnell appears on his show. "It's like a hostage crisis," Maher said. "Every week you don't show up, I'm going to throw another body out."

Bottom line: I looked into it and REJECTED it. Case closed.

RE: “The “rest of the story” would be of interest. I assume she no longer practices witchcraft. Real Americans love redemption stories. I’ll look forward to reading of it.”

****************

When was this witchcraft dabbling? I’m betting it was some time ago.

In college I wrote a paper on witchcraft because I thought it would be ‘fun’ and different. A childhood friend of mine always joked that she was a ‘witch’ and we all had a good time with that. Unless O’Donnell was heavy-duty into covens and all the rest, I say pffttttt — this is a big NOTHING but yes, it should appeal to the left!!! They love that sort of thing.

I thought I was, or tried to, or something.

But inside I was desperately unhappy, and knew it. I was looking for God. He found me.

The past to me is like a bad dream I woke up from.

Governor Dukakis named Laurie Cabot the “Official witch of Salem” (Ma).

“Coons “dabbles” in marxism.

I’ll take my chances with the witchcraft.”

I love this answer, heheh. Point well taken!

A primary campaign that destroyed a RINO. ($500,000)

Going up against a Marxist($2,000,000)

Making RINOs from cost to coast wail in horror, PRICELESS!

RE: “yeah, who gives a crap! These communists are satanic and do not even know it! At least she knew it was dangerous!”

*******************

One of my childhood friends, a lifelong Dem who’s moved farther to the left thanks to a very leftist man in her life, loves nothing more than to visit the witch museum in Salem, MA. She adores the books of that vampire woman, what’s her name? The one who used to live in New Orleans?

She has tried out every freakish ‘religion’ out there but now attends NO services of any kind. She used to pretend to be a fortune teller.

One would think that this friend of mine would like O’Donnell more as a result of O’Donnell’s revelations but nooooo, I’m hearing how awful she is because said friend is a huge admirer of Maher and his obnoxious show on HBO.

Any minute now I just know I will have to part company with this ‘friend’ as I can’t take much more of her sh*t. Talked to some cousins recently who also said they had lost friends over the present situation in this country. So be it. At least we still have FR!

Except Hillary didn’t just dabble, she actually went for it.

Oldie from 1993: Why is Thanksgiving canceled in Little Rock? Because the witch flew to Washington and took the turkey with her.

Newly faithful in some sectors tend to exaggerate their past lives before conversion to somehow elevate their own testimony as being super special (and in some cases, more marketable). She was going for dramatic effect and now it’s come back to bite.

During the next six weeks, Coons will portray O'Donnell as a flake. The GOP-establishment that backed Castle will hold Coons' coat during these attacks and smile contentedly. The News Journal, The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philly news broadcasts and the other dino media that infest the state will without relent print and broadcast stories reinforcing the Coons narrative. Most residents of Delaware will come to accept that she is a flake.

And then on Election Day these residents will look at their drastically higher health insurance premiums that the Democrats said would never rise, wonder why they can't find a job and vote for the flake who has been unyielding in her promises that she will stop the policies -- policies in part backed by national Republicans -- that caused the mess this country is in.

She started out as a drama major.....enough said. Even SOME drama majors grown up...not all.

I was surprised with her speaking skills yesterday. Wondered who is writing her speeches.....If she's doing it herself am impressed.

"Just curious, what was she doing 11 years ago that would merit “several” appearances on Maher’s show?"

The EXACT same thing that would lead people to believe she was an earnest candidate for US Senator - absolutely nothing.

Let this be a lesson - it takes a lot more to be a good candidate for political office than a winning smile and all the right throwaway lines, especially federal office. It helps if you actually have some record of accomplishment upon which to base your campaign - and you don't have a robust library of "crazy talk" in the archives.

The suing thing really bothers me if the stories are true.

Lack of political experience doesn’t bother me much. Lack of practical experience in running a business and/or creating things of value does.

But...

She can do no worse than the RINO she wants to replace.

And there’s a lot of value in watching our elite overlords heads explode...

Obama jumped into Marxism, didn’t dabble.

Exactly. Even if O'Donnell claimed to be currently practicing witchcraft, I'd take that over a Marxist who spent his youth in an INDONESIAN MADRASA! Islam is 10000 times more dangerous and then just add Communism to that recipe.

I still - two years later - cannot believe that S.O.B. is in the White House.

They figure it worked for Palin. Just destroy every fiber of any female who runs. Time to just start laughing at them. Anger doesn’t work.
