Christine O'Donnell (DE-TP) is/was a witch

[Tender Branson]

Last night, Bill Maher played a previously-unaired 1999 video clip of Delaware U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell (R) in which she said she once "practiced witchcraft."

Said 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 alter, 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 joked that he's going to show a new clip of O'Donnell every week on his show until she agrees to appear on his show again.

Said Maher: "I'm just saying, Christine, it's like a hostage crisis, every week you don't show up, I'm going to throw another body out."

Maher says "And the other part of me is rooting for her because she’s going to get her Christian ass kicked in the general election.”

I hope we kick Boxers Jewish ass in her senate race.

Christine is just a winner all around, the Tea Party sure is smart for pushing her. Perhaps she can use her powers to generate votes herself.

Difference is Boxer doesn't constantly grandstand her religion.

Is Boxer even religious?

[Free Palestine]

I knew a woman who was a devout Catholic, who once did that whole Wicca thing.

[Torie]

Well one thing about O'Donnell is beyond per adventure:  she has a colorful resume.

[Alcon]

pix?

[Sewer]

jmfcst, the point is that she is lying, no one has ever practiced witchcraft.

[Sewer]

Witchcraft does not exist, thus she is lying.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Awesome, more negative publicity.

[Insula Dei]

It would be really funny if some evidence turned up that O'Donnels coven worshipped the Aqua Buddha.

[Capitan Zapp Brannigan]

Great show last night.

[You kip if you want to...]

LOL. And we all thought Sarah Palin was extremely crazy.

Wicca does and is considered by many as witchcraft.

Does she observe kosher laws and not eat anything on Yom Kippur? I doubt it, but that wouldn't put her as much different from many Reform Jews who would claim to be religious. So no clue really.

I should note that the only Jewish politician who makes a big deal of the religious aspect of their Judaism is Lieberman. There was a bit of controversy when he broke his Sabbath to vote against the resolution condemning the surge, considering he has never broke the Sabbath before.

not concerned about what someone was or believed.

off topic:  is she still Catholic?  she doesn't seem like it to me

I think she went from being raised Catholic to non-religious to evangelical and then back to Catholic.

And you do realize that many of those churches oppose masturbation on moral grounds?

I'm Episcopalian, where it is considered  sex with a socially acceptable partner.

The definition of "crazy" has become so expansive as to mean nothing.

This thread has nothing to do with masturbation, and even if it did "so and so's church teaches that" is not an excuse especially if you attacked Obama over Jeremiah Wright even though it is quite obvious that Obama does not agree with Wright's more controversial statements.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Libertas, what do you think?

[specific_name]

These guys are really bringing the circus to town. Bill Maher is a complete idiot regardless.

[SPC]

I love how the supposedly tolerant liberals are repeatedly using religious associations to smear their opponents. Sharron Angle had ties to Scientology, Christine O'Donnell practiced witchcraft, Rand Paul worshipped the Aqua Buddha, etc. Why not actually debate their opponents on matters of substance than what their opponents might have done at least a decade ago in their private lives?

SPC, because if they did, they'd lose.

We'll ignore their religion when they stop trying to turn our country into a theocracy.

Lief, are you serious?
