Thanks to the Tea Party, we now have a Republican primary winner who has practiced witchcraft.
Christine O'Donnell, 41, was scheduled to appear on Fox News Sunday yesterday morning, but when the story broke she had once participated in rituals on a Satanic alter, naturally enough she cancelled all her previous obligations.
Video clips from the Bill Maher show informed the bemused American public that O'Donnell, by her own admission, 'dabbled in witchcraft'.
'One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn’t know it,' she said. 'I mean, there’s a little blood there and stuff like that. We went to a movie and then we had a little midnight picnic on a satanic altar.'
Oh I admit it, I've seen some really strange stuff in American political life (Larry Craig's wide-stance, Rudy Giuliani's cross-dressing, not to mention kooky Rand Paul and his 'Aqua Bhudda' - all of these come unbidden to my mind, I'm afraid) but this is the first time I recall a conservative candidate who was once a witch.
As qualifications for the United States Senate go, you have to give her her due for originality.
In Delaware I imagine there are a lot of churchgoing people who are going to want to know what on earth O'Donnell was doing. And I admit to a little curiosity myself. I mean I enjoy a train wreck as much as anyone.
Remember, this is the woman who has spent two decades espousing celibacy and condemning homosexuality, masturbation and condom usage. Asked by MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, 'You’re going to stop the whole country from having sex?' O’Donnell replied, 'Yes.' [Scarborough Country, 11/13/03]
Good luck with that Christine.
We haven't even gotten to the part where a bipartisan watchdog group claims the Tea Partier abused campaign funds for her personal use and made false statements on forms she filed with the Federal Elections Commission.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint to the US Attorney's office in Delaware and the Federal Elections Commission alleging that O'Donnell illegally spent more than $20 thousand in 2009 and 2010.
Much of these campaign expenses were made in 2009, when O'Donnell wasn't a candidate for anything. Representatives for O'Donnell could not, as they say, be reached for comment.
The Tea Party was intended to shake things up, but it's just ended up stiring the cauldron.

These are Christine O'Donnell's facts. The press are quoting her directly. If she can't tell the difference between a Wiccan and a Satanist it's because she's a dullard, not them.

Ok I would like to make it clear for anyone who can't get their facts straight. If she once had a picnic date on a satanic alter then she once hung out with Satanists. Satanists ARE NOT Witches!!!! Witches and Warlocks, Pagans and Wiccans are completely different then Satanists! Get your facts right people before you print in a paper!!

We are not U.S. citizens only on the outside looking in at the right wing menagerie and what fools you look over seas.

Exactly right, IrishAndProud! And speaking of hip and chic, how about the Democrat nominee for Senate down in South Carolina? lol I've got two words for the koolaid cadre: Alvin Greene. Nothing says hip and chic like an actual felony indictment! I'm sure that Comrade Cahir has been meaning to write an article about it...

McNabb: also please realize that many of these lib critics are not even United States citizens, and are not even in it. Regardless, they're all cheap-shot artists, pounding away on O'Donnell simply because they sense it's the hip and chic thing to do -- one of the most popular activities of the unprincipled. But, they're irrelevant. Unless they're actually citizens of Delaware, they cannot cast a single vote for or against her -- and can only take snide shots on a website that doesn't make a lick of difference in the whole American political scheme, when it all comes down to it. Don't frustrate yourself, my friend. Nothing on this post has or will change what happens in Delaware. Remember, she'd already been written off once, and her critics ended up with a mouthful of crow. Let them risk it again, and have fun watching them.

It's interesting that all the koolaid-drinking wingnuts want to focus on O'Donnell rather than talk about Harry Reid's Pet Coons.

@seanomelbourne...FOX "cowards?" They've got a lot of former Marines over at MSNBC, do they? How about true American heroes like Bill Maher, Jon Stewart and Michael Moore? lmao!!! And considering the hysterical, frenzied attacks by the Left on ALL Conservative women, it's particularly amusing for you to claim that Michelle Obama has been unfairly targeted. And here I thought you were making some progress. But it's obvious that you're as hypocritical as the rest of the kool-aid cadre.

I think this woman is a disaster and I hope she does not become a U.S. Senator. I think America is truly in danger if people like O'Donnell can be elected. What idiots we look to the world to try to export Democratic governance and have someone such as former President George Bush and the possibility of O'Donnell as a U.S. Senator.

@hollabackgurl...As usual, the Leftists among us like to dish out the abuse but can't take it. So now you're against "insults?" That was fast! lol But when it comes to agendas, maybe you can tell me why even Democrat candidates are running away from Obama and the Reid-Pelosi agenda?
