The difference is 0bama can cite chapter and verse, as all you do in a Madrassa is speak and memorize the Koran.

"Now if I can get him to quit being a Democrat. That’s where I worry."

LOL. After what we've seen in the past 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40+ years it should be far more disreputable to be a Democrat (or a Mediascum poobah)...... than what O'Donnell said..... she's still far better than Castle or Cooms, or Biden or Obama for that matter.

I forgot to add that not only is Wicca classified as a religion, but also because of that, there cannot be an issue of religion based on the ‘separation of Church and State.’

Besides, what else is Godlessness except the worship of self/ego. The I am God group should know well they are already servants of Satan, and so, Coons fits someone in the Devil’s ACTUAL, present service.

Demons do walk the earth. 1/3 of Heaven’s angels fell. Apparently, many fell here in the US.

Evil always attacks the good. This should

Hey, she’s already said that when she was young she slept around and wasn’t very smart about it. So long as there’s nothing like this after her conversion, I don’t see where the problem is.

Since I would expect that Maher would put out the worst thing first, I presume nothing else will hurt any more.

Anyway, funny that Maher thinks that dating a witch would be a negative, given his political leanings.

I think it’s pretty funny that they tried to attack her for being a far-right-conservative-religious-nut, and then Maher throws out a bit about her and witchcraft, kind of deflating that argument.

It was her first date, so presume it was high school. She wasn’t raised in a real religious family, and she’s said she slept around before coming to her current faith later in her college years (I think that was the timing).

I do kind of think it is important for her to address this, not in terms of dismissing or excusing it, just with one of those flippant lines, maybe if she does an interview with one of those more social interviewess, somthing oprah-like.

“Oh yeah, you should have seen me when I was a kid. I had a lot to learn, and I’m grateful I was able to come to a faith that gave my life some real meaning”.

He’s the reason I won’t pay for HBO. Well, one of the reasons. I will watch it when they give it away for free, but I can’t stand the idea of a dollar of my money going to Bill.

This was before she committed to her faith. She did lots of stuff back then, when she was a teenager.

Even the mainstream media isn’t going to go after a candidate for what they did in high school, unless it involved violent felonies.

Bill Maher has his audience, and it’s not going to vote fore O’Donnell. It never was. She will be trying to get the votes of people who are turned off by negative politics, and don’t like people getting attacked for what they did as a teenager.

“Oh yeah, you should have seen me when I was a kid. I had a lot to learn, and I’m grateful I was able to come to a faith that gave my life some real meaning”.”

Yep, she’s admitted these things and said she has repented of them. The Castle campaign tried the same type smears and it didn’t work. She’s now flush with cash and can easily turn this to her advantage. This sounds petty and mean-spirited given she’s been honest with her past and has turned her life around.

This stuff isn’t working this time around.

“WASHINGTON POST is reporting this? Unbelievable.”

Not really. I always find that any Republican controversy gets published in the traditional media powers.

Democrat controversies only get reported on World Net Daily, the Washington Times, or some other conservative blog. It’s never a major news source.

If someone attacked a Democratic candidate for being a pagan or witch, they'd be called a bigot.

That's true. But when are liberals ever consistent?

So the media is all over this like stink on crap, yet evidently thinks is just fine and dandy to have a (so-called) President who did a heckuva lot more than “dabble” with things like pot and cocaine. More like a hard-core user. But nobody whsipers a word about that in the mainstream press. They went ape$hit over a DWI rap on GW Bush, but having a ‘Rat drug user as President is just great. Unbelievable.

Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell doesn't need Facebook to dredge up her controversial past statements. As a sometime conservative pundit a decade ago on Bill Maher's former show, "Politically Incorrect", O'Donnell said (in an appearance that wasn't aired) that she dabbled in witchcraft. In the clip shown last night on Maher's current show, "Real Time," O'Donnell said: "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....

Fresh off her victory in Delaware, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell is riding a wave of campaign cash but also internet infamy, thanks in part to her controversial statements -- most notably on masturbation -- in the late 1990s on Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect." Christine O'Donnell says one of her first dates occurred on a satanic altar. On Friday, Maher released on his new HBO show, "Real Time," an unaired clip of O'Donnell admitting to a brief dalliance with witchcraft.

I hope people can see what this is about like you can. I do think this is extortion. It seems he is threatening her to release more unless she comes on his show.
