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."

I played with a ouija board once when I was 14.

We cancelled our HBO just because of things like this. Starve the beast. That is the only thing they understand.

I’m waiting for HBO to do what “The Network” did in the classic movie when mad Howard Beale started losing his ratings. They arranged for a domestic terrorist group to gun him down on stage. It boosted their ratings for a time.

How do you know that she is a witch?

Everyone who gets involved in “The Secret” dabbles in witchcraft.

Thank You!
Exactly my thought, too.
If she has repented with an honest heart then God has forgiven her. It is moot, it is forgotten. It lays at the bottom of the deepest sea. It should be no concern of ours.
I’m sure we all have done some incredibly stupid things in our yout’. God may forcive, but some people won’t and relish and revel in our past.
Sad.
Maher is such a angry twisted soul.

She's got my vote

And ours too...

This will backfire on Maher, with all the successful vampire, werewolf and witch tv shows movies out there nowadays, to harp on this segment of what she said she did in her youth will draw more young people to her.

If someone was to take a microscope and examine my years as a youth and young adult, I’d probably be shunned by most, but that was then.

The general lefty just doesn't get it.....

.....It's not who you WERE THEN, it's who you ARE NOW.

As long as a person has TRULY matured and become a responsible person, the past doesn't matter. The reason this didn't work for Bill Clinton in the end is, he is still the same irresponsible adolescent idiot he was 30 years ago.

Wow they’ve got their Alinsky Rule 13 Target.

All this personal demonization might cause a tremendous blowback.


Well, one thing it did was entice me to look up her pic to see if she's a babe.

Yep. She is.
THANKS, LIBS!

Shouldn’t liberals view this as a good thing?

I think Bill's “hostage crisis” joke is funny, but how many “bodies” does he have to throw out?

Twenty two episodes.

So, this was eleven years ago? I think that someone can change in that amount time. Imho, someone can change in a single moment. It appears that she has turned her life around since then, from what little I know about her.

I will take a Conservative witch who believes in less taxes and smaller government over a big government RINO fake Christian any day.

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

Maher said. "Every week you don't show up, I'm going to throw another body out."

So Maher gets on TV, issues an extortion threat and what happens?

Where oh where is our Justice Department?

(Don't answer, that was a sarcastically rhetorical question, we all know the answer already don't we?)
