O’Donnell warned about mice with ‘fully functioning human brains.’ She forgot to talk about the experiment where they put a mouse brain in to a human.
Ok, who left the cage door open?
Pinky’s escaped and is trying to take over the world again.
(seriously, a human brain weighs about 4 pounds, a mouse is 2 maybe 3 ounce’s, you can fit a mouse brain in to a human skull…heck, you can fit a family clan of mice inside a human skull)
O’Donnell believes God speaks to her personally and guided her campaign. “During the primary, I heard the audible voice of God. He said, ‘Credibility.’
Yeah, she has selective hearing. God said “Credibility, its just not your forte” but  she doesn’t know what ‘forte’ means.
O’Donnell says she “dabbled into witchcraft.”
With a witch… she didn’t say “a male witch” and her crowd only recognizes women as witches so whats she saying? “I had a date with a witch” reads to me “I had a lesbian affair with a witch” anyone else get that vibe?
Oh yeah,
“it was sinful! SINFUL! To lay with a woman who was a witch on a satanic alter having
S-E-X!”
Seriously, only the totally clueless even think witches = Satanic cult anymore. Witches (up here in Ct at least) DOES = Wicca. Hey, along with my GLBT friends I have Wiccan and Pagan’s for friends as well.
And that does explain why she’s in to the Ex-Gay movement as well.
On the bright side, I do have a nice Gouda…
anyone smell a bribe?
…nah, that would be the Linberger and her crampain.  

SatanismIf she truly “dabbled” in witchcraft, she would have known that witches–if we’re talking about Wiccan–do no have “satanic alters.”  
The only religion that really talks of Satan is… Christianity.  The Wiccan symbol of the pentagram has been used so many times in films that portray Satan or evil.  Now, many people think that they are one in the same!

Clever campaign strategyIf there really are mice with human brains, it’s a cinch they’ll be voting for O’Donnell.  No other candidate even mentions them, and the human-brained mouse community is an important emerging constituency.

Not untilthe SCOTUS declares them human, with all the rights and privileges of humans. You know, like corporations.

They constantly make up falsehoods about Witchesleading to large scale killings of women and children in parts of Africa rife with Evangelicals set up and funded by the usual gang of supects, C Street and Warren et al.
Outrageous accusations of Satanism, Witchcraft and campaigns against Pagans are comeing soon to a Republican party near you! Don’t miss it.

Hypocrite of the first order

O’Donnell believes gays ‘can get away with so much more,’ such as ‘nudity.’ “But let me tell you something! They – homosexuals’ special rights groups can get away with so much more than nobody else can!” she said. Asked for examples, she replied, “They’re getting away with nudity! They’re getting away with lasciviousness! They’re getting away with perversion! They’re getting away with blasphemy!”

Unlike the closeted Republican toe tappers, and the holy robe wearers?   They’re the ones getting off scotfree on the lasciviousness (the Reps.) and the perversion (the holy robe wearers.)  
And while I don’t subscribe to this publication, their own bible says that turning away the youth from the “Word” is as big a blasphemy as you can find, and lessee…yep, raping children tends to turn them away from any chance of a meaningful faith…
As for nudity…most of the folks I know look better in clothes.  

I think mice would be more discerningBut I am sure she has the sheeple vote.

Well, someone has to be the buzzkiller, it might as well be me.I’ll start by saying my handle on here is a Romani word derived from Armenian that means “witch”, and that I’ve been a practicing one for fifteen years, including time spent in–gasp–a coven, though I’ve been solitary for years now.

And even though I’m sure this is so much pissing in the wind, I’m just going to leave what I feel is the most relevant quote from Jason’s excellent post, emphasis mine. Please keep this in mind whenever you decide to start giggling (especially considering the fact that Pagan faiths are some of the most LGBT-affirming on the planet, and have been havens for queer folks looking for spiritual alternatives to O’Donnell Christianity):
“In the meantime, Pagan faiths are sent the message that while they may enjoy some perks of mainstream acceptance, they, like other minority faiths, are not fully welcome into the halls of political power. Those trying to use this clip as a political club to hurt her candidacy may not realize that it is also damaging the advances of modern Pagans trying to work for equal treatment and an end to unspoken litmus tests.
There are plenty of reasons to oppose and criticize O’Donnell if you don’t like her positions, but this shouldn’t be one of them. That said, if she decides to respond to this mess by attacking modern Paganism that’s a different story, but so far the only people mocking us are those trying to embarrass this candidate. There should be no political cost to “dabbling” with our faiths, in fact, I wish more people would dabble in Paganism, if only to humanize our experience to those coming from a place of ignorance.”
You aren’t just showing this one obnoxious fundie out to be a hypocritical kook when you’re pointing out this one thing, given all the actually egregious positions she holds on every issue ever, as making her unelectable. You aren’t just having laughs at this one tea bagger moron’s expense. You’re engaging in the very same behavior that locks anyone who isn’t a bible thumping Christian out of the halls of power, not just those of us who are witches and Pagans, but Muslims, Unitarians, and atheists. “Ha ha she dabbled in WITCHCRAFT LOL” might be good for a laugh for you. Hell, I thought the clip was hilarious myself, because unlike most people I was well aware of who this nutty broad was, being an old Politically Incorrect fan from the Comedy Central days, and she sounded like every paranoid young fundie who came across someone like me back in a time period when “The Craft” and “Charmed” were hip and we had to deal with a plethora of such dabblers. But for the actual witches and Pagans who are LGBT activists and allies, and progressives in general (which is basically most of us, a handful of nutty Ron Paul libertarians and right wing Asatruar notwithstanding), it’s not terribly funny to be reminded yet again that we are considered “other”, and that we’re not worthy of respect.
And for anyone thinking of pulling that Derailing for Dummies shit in response to this, think of all the smugly laughing fauxgressive hetero assholes who love trotting out their favorite fag jokes a little too often every time another Republican hatemonger is caught with another “luggage carrier” and the all too defensive cries of “it’s just the hypocrisy!”, and you might grok what I’m talking about here. Especially given the fact that Pagans, again, are overwhelmingly progressive folks, and many of us are activists (see: Starhawk among many others).

HOW CAN SHE BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY?
For the same reason Limbaugh, Beck, Faux News, and the Tea Party and Repug Party are.
For the same reason a new gay Catholics non-profit has formed whose official policy is NOT to try to change the Church.
For the same reason some adults convert to Scientology or Mormonism or Islam or any other mind-eating belief.

For the same reason so many LGBTs…of all colors…still give Obama a pass for simply SAYING he “supports” LGBT blah blah blah while IGNORING or MAKING EXCUSES for his ATTACKS on LGBT equality.
For the same reason some of them are sponsoring a event today in DC called, “LGBTI Americans & Allies Honoring President Obama’s Advocacy,” declaring, “President Barack Obama has done more for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender and intersex Americans in the first year alone of his presidency than any other
president.”
For the same reason Sarah Palin got elected to anything beyond Crosswalk Guard and is also “taken seriously” by mainstream media.
For the same reason The Bachelor/rette, Jersey Shore, and Saturday Night Live are still on TV.

For the same reason some people will pass by an authentic Mexican restaurant to buy Taco Bell mierda.
For the same reason some people think Dick Cheney is “better on marriage” than Obama.

For the same reason Justin Bieber, Ice Cube, Britney Spears, the Kardashians, Snoop Dogg, and Paris Hilton are stars.
For the same reason some parents tie bows around the heads of their infant daughters.

For the same reason some people buy dogs that look like overgrown, longer-legged rats.
For the same reason so many professional bigots and politicians get away with equating open gay military service with a license to rape.
For the same reason some people buy “designer sunglasses.”
For the same reason so many talk in movie theatres at the same volume they would in their living rooms.
For the same reason the ERA never passed.
For the same reason so many people go everywhere in a cell phone trance, including behind the steering wheel of a moving car.

For the same reason Oprah can get away with doing a show about how terrible poverty is while sporting an $680 pair of shoes.
For the same reason FILL IN THE BLANK….
BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE BORN AND DIE INVINCIBLY STUPID.

Big QuestionsOne of the first questions I had after hearing what little there is known about her. She is nice to look at so where are the boyfriends, husbands, wives, girlfriends or whatever?  She dresses OK, not tailored but OK. Who paid? Why are there so many blanks?  Why is she not talking hunger when living on $5k?
And to not let my own party go free, I have the same questions about Greene.

Took the words out of my mouth. Thanks.

Took the words out of my mouth. Thanks.

Thank youWhat do you think the odds are that she was just making stuff up, BTW?

“where are the boyfriends, husbands, wives, girlfriends or whatever? “This is one of the two that I expect the MSM to ask her – even though I know they won’t.
The other?
“Have you ever actually masturbated?”

?Hi Chovexani. I’ve read your comment 3 times and I’m still confused. FWIW, Wicca and assorted versions of neopaganism is old news to me. And a lot of other people. I work with a pagan grandmother now.
I guess I don’t understand who you’re upset with. We seem to see O’Donnell the same and agree that she’s coming from a great place of ignorance. I think she was sharing a story which was usually a big hit and her use of “witchcraft” is supposed to scare  the listener. We’re supposed to think of it along the lines of Hammer films and Michelle Remembers, Satanic cults and child sacrifices. And lots of sex.
People love those stories! I think the former Satanic priests who appear on evangelical TV shows are still a hit. They hint at strange and terrible vices, direct from the id. And I think that’s where she’s coming from.
I don’t see how you’re derailing since I’m not entirely sure who you’re directing your comments at. And I’m trying not to derail and tell you that you’re feelings about this don’t matter. I’m mainly just confused.

Bubble, bubblePublicist on the double.

“SHE’S A WITCH!! BURN HER!!”Monty Python, FTW.
“We’ve found a witch; can we burn her?”

Pinky and the Brainexplaining the parts of the brain.

Because of their absysmal record of betrayal and failure the Democrats will almost certainly lose the House.A few more candidates like Christine O’Donnell and Sharron Angle are the Dems only hope the Democrats have of keeping the Senate.
The Dems have betrayed every one of their core constituent groups.

“Even though women are still more likely to vote Democratic, the poll suggests they may stay home this year, giving more of the decision-making to men by default.” New York Times/CBS Poll 09 20 2010

“Blacks, young adults, and women – groups the Democrats are hoping will repeat their high voter turnout performance of 2008 — are currently showing subdued interest in the 2010 midterm elections, according to a key Gallup “likely voter” question.”
GALLUP 09 03 2010

“Voters backing Republican candidates for Congress are nearly as likely to be voting “against the Democrat” (44%) as “for the Republican” (48%). That level of negative voting against the incumbent party exceeds what Gallup found in the 1994 and 2006 midterm elections, in which party control of Congress changed hands.” GALLUP 09 03 2010

On Novemeber 2nd, 2010 and November 4th, 2012 vote left or sit it out (unless there are important referenda on the ballot).
