DOVER, Del. – TV comedian Bill Maher is taking another jab at Republican Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, who as a conservative Christian activist was a frequent guest on his "Politically Incorrect" show in the 1990s.
After O'Donnell won last week's GOP primary in Delaware with the help of tea party activists, Maher played a 1999 tape in which she said she had dabbled in witchcraft while in high school.
Maher threatened to show more old clips of O'Donnell unless she appeared on his current cable show, "Real Time with Bill Maher."
On Friday night, Maher made good on his threat, showing another clip from the 1990s in which O'Donnell challenged the theory of evolution

Yawn.
THat man is insane. The dems and their cohorts look like children!
IMHO, Mr. Maher has not “evoluted” very far up the chain-—LOL!
I’m afraid you’re wrong. O”Donnell is toast and the worst candidate running on the Republican ticket. There’s just too much out there to lampoon her with. She did accomplish one thing though. She beat Mike Castle so at least that RINO is gone.
I tend to be more of an evolutionist myself (I believe it was guided by God) but this is just ridiculous.
Why is it that, to the left, a Muslim can express their belief in marrying 9 year old girls and it’s “religious freedom” but when a Christian says she believes in Creation, she’s a “kook” who shouldn’t be elected?
Her personal beliefs, unless they’re contrary to the principles of the Constitution, should be none of our business. She’s going to Washington to slash spending, restore sanity, and cut taxes, not perform witchcraft and teach kids the Bible.
Yeah, she was probably a bit nuts back then, weren’t we all?
I knew this was going to be a problem though, and I fear it will stain the Tea Party movement for the independents.
My primary question is: Why was she on this show in the first place, and what was she trying to prove? She needs to address this now.
But all those who believe in the TOE on FR indicated in scientific terms Theory really means Fact!
< /B.S.>
No doubt Maher has shared some of his old Christine clips with BO’RE, the original loofa man.
I personally believe the therory of evolution and have no issues with this.
Typical liberals trying to pigeonhole conservatives into a tight little box.
Agreed. What they’re doing to her makes their treatment of Palin look like it was done in kid gloves in comparison.
What she said was right, as was your comment. People like Maher siezed upon the theory, and made it their religion, because they felt that it could be used to supplant (just mho) Christianity. Such hatred. As you’ve said, they chose to “forget” that it is a theory. Heck, why is it that they allow themselves to forget the scientific method, and what that signifies for darwin and his theory? (rhetorical question)
But enough about John McCain.
I agree; this helps her. Her “why aren’t monkeys still evolving” comment will resonate with many conservatives. Thanks, Bill!
Bill Maher’s a complete a-hole, but that doesn’t change that she is going to be DESTROYED by this.
Damn shame, because I *do* like her. But it doesn’t matter what WE like, it matters what voters like.
We say here that conservatism wins every time. In general, I do agree with that, but it has to be in a package that can be sold. Politics is sales, and if you can’t sell your product, it doesn’t matter how good it is.
Bill Mahr is evolving into a pasty white pile of venomous goo.
The problem is, there aren’t many real conservatives (by your definition) in Delaware.
She has said something to the effect that back then she considered it her “ministry “ to go on shows and say what she said
This has gone beyond being tedious. Unfortunately I cannot cancel my HBO, again, it is gone already.
Is that a form of extortion?
LOL! By whose standards, yours? I'm not saying the woman will win, but it sounds like you actually buy into those dem trash talking points.
