Christine O'Donnell: No Witchcraft Since High School -- If so, Rove Would be a Supporter
FOX NEWS ^ | 09/19/2010 | Kimberley Schwandt

Posted on 09/19/2010 4:26:51 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell responded to old clips that surfaced over the weekend where she said she had once "dabbled in witchcraft," clarifying at a GOP picnic in Delaware Sunday, "I was in high school, how many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school? But no, There's been no witchcraft since, if there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter."

The jab at the former President George W. Bush senior adviser came after Rove had cast doubt on her ability to carry the state for the GOP and said there are too many questions about her past.

The nominee showed up at the picnic in a key county that helped secure her GOP Tuesday primary upset, despite canceling previously scheduled appearances on "Fox News Sunday" and CBS' "Face the Nation." Her campaign backed out of the talk show interviews, saying she needed to get back to Delaware and had a scheduling conflict, including attending church and then the afternoon picnic.

She was greeted with a raucous applause at the annual Sussex County GOP picnic with chants of "yes we can" and "yes we will!"

Many in the crowd kept saying "get over it," to the media when she clarified her original witchcraft comments, which included her giving details about a date she had with a witch. The 1999 tape from "Politically Incorrect" first surfaced Friday when Bill Maher aired it on "Real Time with Bill Maher," saying he would keep airing clips until she appeared on his show.

Local Republicans seemed un-phased by the latest clip, which followed other television interviews that surfaced where O'Donnell talked about such issues as sex and condoms on MTV and to Phil Donahue.

Karl Rove & Bill Maher - together at last.

They make quite a tag team.

Next time a reporter asks O'Donnell about this, she should wiggle her nose at him. It would be amusing to see the MSM coverage. (It would be even more amusing, if the reporter turned into a toad.)

Yea, Rove use to be reasonable and understandable. He does seem to have a deep seated anger regarding O’Donnell. Still not sure what is causing it but would love for the media to ask him about it.

He asked her out for a date once and she responded with : “Aren’t you already married?” :)

This witchcraft issue is not going to help elect this lady. Especially if the story is “boomed” and as a result “gets legs.” Rove is right on this issue; deal with it as best one can then MOVE ON! She was well advised to cancel her appearances on television until she can consult with some sound advisors.

Yeah, lets make every conservative candidate explain ever single silly thing they ever did or said, while the marxists on the other side sit back & chuckle, untroubled by even one single f'n difficult question.

Its hard to believe American politics & media coverage have devolved to this point.

Its even hard to believe many on our side(?) are participating in the farce.

Its a vaudeville routine.

Christine seems a lot more friendly than that Lisa “fishwife” Murcowsky up there in Alaska.

Perfect response. Rove needs to get over his case of sour grapes.

If O’Donnell was into killing babies via abortion or “dabbled” in Marxism like her opponent Chris Coons and Barack Hussein, maybe she’d be an ideal RINO. Maybe she can stick a pin into a Rove doll.

She probably lit a candle with some dippy goth friends at the summer solstice or something. I think her soul is still secure.

If the MSM tries to make this sound like she one slit livestock throats and had sex in its blood, they’re gonna get laughed out of town.

Exactly what more is there to say to this than what she said?

A caller to, I think it was Rush, stated that Rove was involved in Castle’s re-election bid. That’s why he’s trashing the competition. All he’s doing now is making a fool out of himself.
