Bill Maher Launches Christine O’Donnell Blackmail Scheme With Clip Of Her Admitting To Witchcraft

video
» 223 comments

Bill Maher and Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell go way back– namely, all the way back to “1997 or something,” when O’Donnell appeared semi-regularly on Politically Incorrect. Now that she is a celebrity, Maher used his first show of the season to remind O’Donnell that “I made you,” and warn that he would release an old clip of her weekly until she came to Real Time. This week’s was of O’Donnell admitting to going on dates to Satanic altars!

Maher seemed to remember her visits to the show fondly, sending her good wishes and predicting that she may be more successful than Sarah Palin because “Sarah Palin is mean and Christine is not.” Despite deeming her nice enough to not attack her in any direct way, Maher was not above digging through old clips of her on his program saying wacky things in order to get her back on his show. “It’s like a hostage crisis,” he explained, “Every week you don’t show up, I’ll throw a body out.”

Last night’s body was from 1999, and the discussion was on witchcraft. O’Donnell, who from the clip appears to have been talking about her faith before admitting to said witchcraft, explains that because she had been a part of Satanic circles, she understood better than most why faith (in non-Satanic religions) was so important.

The bizarre thing about the “attacks” on O’Donnell so far is that few, if any, have anything to do with actual policy. Few know what her actual political beliefs are outside of her hyper-conservatism in her private life and, as Bill O’Reilly said on his program last night, she is a woman who “is not remarkable in any way” politically. Her Tea Party compatriots– Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, Marco Rubio, et al– have all been viciously attack on policy. O’Donnell is being attacked for having been cutesy and wacky in the 90s, (as if she were the only person who was cutesy and wacky in the 90s). Not even Bill Maher can come up with something particularly mean-spirited to say about her. As embarrassing as the clips may be, having a far-left commentator try to coyly humiliate her just to get face time with her is about as positive an endorsement as any Tea Party candidate has gotten.

    Bill who? Oh wait, is this the same guy who yesterday said<

    “Isn’t Obama’s big problem is that he does everything half-assed? Maybe it’s because he’s only half black. You know? It’s that, if he was a, if this, if he was fully black, I’m telling you, he would be a better president.“

    I'm sure you're working on that piece right now fran!

  • writer

    If O’Donnell has actually been to Satanic altars, then going on Maher’s show won’t be much of a stretch.

    After seeing all these clips of O’Donnell on PI, I TOTALLY remember her from back in the day. Her and Maher would get into it ALL THE TIME; but in a way that made you think: “Why don’t you two just do it and get it over with already?”

    I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME WOMAN

    She used to be cute. Now, she looks like she could be my Mom.

    MAHER HAS TONS OF THIS WACKADOODLE STUFF. This is going to be HILARIOUS

  • SteveMG

    Sorta’ Andrew Breitbart’s school of clip releases?

    But this is worse in that Breitbart didn’t selectively release what he had. He just was irresponsible in releasing what he had without vetting it.

    In this case, Maher is deliberately releasing partial clips to make her look bad.

    Look, she’s not qualified to be in the Senate. But this is sleazy by Maher.

    But not surprising.

  • Arkansas Steve

    When Christine wins in Delaware, BILL MAHER will be the first person she thanks!

  • MiddleRoader

    As an older person I have had a good number of experiences in my life, even if only for a nano second. Two of which I know if I ever told anyone they would think me cracked. Some people are their own worst enemy because they thrive on attention, even if it’s negative attention. I will be waiting patiently to hear what her platform is. I will say this for the tea party, they seem to be shaken up the good ole boy’s (girls) club in Washington. Not such a bad thing. Yet at the same time it is a bit scary to think some of these people may actually make it to the big time. Yes, I am aware that the argument is that Obama was elected POTUS without much experience. I’m all for an overhaul in Washington, but I was hoping for new people that at least have a semblance of sanity and experience.

  • writer

    I agree with Bill Maher. Obama should get more violent, like a ‘real’ black man.

  • BatBoy

    All future guests of Maher’s shows should see this and understand what Bill Maher will do to destroy them if they do not toe his line.

    He is one of the most despicable people I know.

    And Francis, why would you want to promote Maher trying to destroy someone. Is there that much hate in you also?

    “as if she were the only person who was cutesy and wacky in the 90s”

    Oh, you and I both know that’s true. ;-)

    I love how she was like, “Let’s get this straight; I did NOT join a coven,” as if being a freelancer in the industry of witchcraft is more mainstream.

  • zumpano

    Maher should only have to play the clip of her saying that women shouldn’t be in the military service schools; so no women in the army.

    Why would ANY WOMAN want to vote for that?

    Every woman in the world should know this about O’Donnell.

    SHE THINKS YOU ARE TOO PRECIOUS AND TOO DISTRACTING TO BE IN THE MILITARY WITH MEN.

    I have to agree with you here. Clearly she was young in this clip and the ones she made for abstinence. I think most of us can say that our world view has changed, for the most part, as we matured. Also his show was/is more comedic in nature ie: Stewart/Colbert. They push their political stance but at the same time, the laughs are what they are really going for.

  • philipjames

    I think this is great. It just shows that she acted like a liberal when she was young and having a good time. Thank God she found religion otherwise she might have become a Joy Behar or a Bill Mahr or a Jon Stewart or even someone like Barack Obama. She saved herself and became a relevant human being. And the next Senator from Delaware.

  • The Real Royal King

    I seem to recall the Drop Out Governor being at some Holy Roller Church, one of the few times she has ever been in a Church, and having a witch doctor perform some ceremony. Maybe, she can refer O’Donald to the witch doctor.

    Believe me, releasing the WHOLE CLIPS aren’t going to make her look like Socrates.

    Huh? You don’t have to attend West Point to serve in the army.

    My guess is that the vast majority of women in the military never attended any of the military universities.

  • MediaWhore

    Meet the future of the Republican party: unemployed grifters who used to be witches.

    And then there was Palin cavorting with Nigerian preachers flailing around in her Wasilla church in rituals meant to protect her from witchcraft.

    I don’t need life experience to know that a hypocrite is someone who wants government out of your life, but thinks she can “legislate morality”.

  • philipjames

    I can’t help myself…. saw this over at The Other McCain and laughed a lot when I read it…

    One hears a lot of pundits yammering about how Palin is unpopular in Blue states, but I think that’s one of those Conventional Wisdom things that would crumble at first contact with reality.
    If I were in the business of advising political candidates — as opposed to being strictly a neutral and objective journalistic observer – I’d tell Palin to make Delaware the first stop on her fall itinerary and use her speech at the big rally to push back at the attacks on O’Donnell.
    Palin could make a joke about the punditry’s favorite anti-O’Donnell meme: “The Democrats have a new slogan: ‘If you like masturbation and higher taxes, vote for Chris Coons!’ But Christine O’Donnell is against higher taxes and, I don’t know if she’s seen the latest scientific studies, but there’s a strong correlation between excessive masturbation and being a total loser — as Chris Coons will prove on Nov. 2.”

    You like I have many years experience and I have found, as I am sure you have that talk is cheap and you just do not know what a person does until they get into a tough situation.

    To the young people reading this…you will find out who your real friends are. Most will scatter like flies and some of them you would have thought that would never happen.

    We know how Washington works…they have played their hands.

    We know how Obama has reacted…Hillary was right…when that 3 AM call came, he didn’t’ have the slightest idea what a president should do. Unfortunately he reverted to his Community Organizer days.

    I am willing to give new people a chance…watch them and see how they do.

    The Tea Party has done a few things right, moving out the old guard Republicans. That came as a surprise to the Republicans, notably…

    …Merkowski in AK is now running as a write in.

    …Spector in PA changing parties to stay in office…see what that got him.

    …Tancrado in CO, not liking the results of the primary, so he is running to be a spoiler.

    …Mike Castle in DE, loosing what he thought belonged to him.

    The Tea Party has also pretty much destroyed Obama’s agenda and even swung the Progressives to the Right…
    …Thirty-one congressman wanted to extend the Bush Tax Cuts.

    Something tell me that the old way of doing things has changed…If congress screws up, the people will replace them!!!

  • Fox News: We proudly pander to Teabaggers

    Maybe Fox News should offer to do a one hour informercial for O’Donnell in lieu of live interview. For the pukes that watch that network, that would be more than acceptable.

  • http://SailRabbits.com Magister

    If I’m not mistaken (and I’m not going to look it up), but it seems one of the guys from Real world won their primary and the other one didn’t. Ms. O’Donnell wasn’t only an MTV creation, so you can’t really call it ironic that the network’s first high-profile political spawn is a religious conservative, but if Maher keeps releasing clips and people keep going through her video archive, we may be able to describe her as the first politician to emerge from reality television.

    As these kinds of videos keep turning up, I give her a better and better shot at being elected and if that’s the final result, the Senate could be getting their own “Paula”.

    Pretty scare to think that the religious right has gone so far to push their agenda that all it takes to get elected is only that Islam is not your religion of choice. Dabbling as a witch and seeing a witch doctor acceptable, being a peaceful follower of Islam, veddy bad, veddy bad indeed.

    If the full clips made O’Donnell look any less crazy, she would release them herself. She’s a fucking nut, and seeing the entire episodes won’t change that. I watched PI all the time in the 90s, and I remember O’Donnell was Maher’s favorite crazy Christian, and she GLADLY filled that role, despite being mocked and made fun of mercilessly by other guests on a regular basis.

    Writer, I did not say that or mean that. I have no problem with anyones religious background as long as they keep it out of politics. I understand that can be difficult at times, at the same time the religious person needs to understand not everyone is Christian, Jewish, Islamic etc.

    Years ago my sister was put on life support. Something she didn’t ever want. The intensive care doctors advised me that I should think about taking her off it. In one way it was easy as she had always declared she did not want on it. The other part, was even with that knowledge, it was somewhat difficult to think it was my decision. Getting to the point I had to have her primary doctor sign off on it. I talked with him and he was against it and told me outright it was against his religious principles. I had to remind him, as much as I respected his right to his belief, it was not her wish to be kept alive by a machine and his religious view was not appropriate in making that call for her. He finally agreed to taking her off after a handful of discussions with him.

    As far as I can understand this, Maher is saying that O’Donnell’s reputation has been hurt by….her having once done typical Bill Maher shtick with Maher on TV. This is like the Groucho Marx line: “I would never join a club that would have someone like me as a member.”

    Exactly. Stuff like this will probably hurt her among independents, but as most people know, when you’re on TV, you say provocative and weird things, so you can appear on next weeks episode. It’s called a “paycheck”.

    MiddleRoader, not saying you’re one of them, but so many on the left slam the ‘religious right’ and talk as if that includes all Christians, but take great pains to point out that not all Muslims are radical. And as things stand now, I believe the radical Islamists are a bit more dangerous than the radical Christians.

    At least it seems that … you care. But not too much :-)

    O’Donnell admitted to going on dates to Satanic altars! She meant Bill’s interview with her her in his show that many of us used to consider to be The Sanctified Satanic Altar of the New Times. Admittedly, Bill has collected over time with his show(s) many bodies, now all dead, just corpse carcasses. And the witch Bill succeeds to bring O’Donnells smart and nice witch corpse back to life.

    In case you haven’t been paying attention for the last FOREVER, this is exactly how politics works and what kind of scrutiny politicians endure.

    Maher is an entertainer. It’s not his job to promote healthy discussions of public policies.

    O’Donnell knew exactly what kind of ENTERTAINMENT program she whored herself out to, and now she’s paying the price for providing all the clips from that “stupid show” on “crazy subjects.”

    Maher doesn’t need to try to embarrass her. She does that fine all by herself.

    @writer: I’ll admit that one type of radical may be getting more press at this time, but if you think about your comparison and rephrase it, you’re basically saying that “the left” prefers suicide bombers over those who attack an abortion clinic. It’s like saying that someone would rather hang-out with an ax murderer than a fatal stabber.

  • writer

    Magister, I knew the abortion clinic example was coming up. Has there been a rash of people killing abortion doctors? Do we see Christians celebrating in the streets when word of an abortion doctor’s death is reported? If you want to see radical Christians as being as bad as radical Muslims, that’s your choice. I don’t see it that way.

I will say this for the tea party, they seem to be shaken up the good ole boy’s (girls) club in Washington. Not such a bad thing. Yet at the same time it is a bit scary to think some of these people may actually make it to the big time. Yes, I am aware that the argument is that Obama was elected POTUS without much experience. I’m all for an overhaul in Washington, but I was hoping for new people that at least have a semblance of sanity and experience.

    Magister, I knew the abortion clinic example was coming up. Has there been a rash of people killing abortion doctors? Do we see Christians celebrating in the streets when word of an abortion doctor’s death is reported? If you want to see radical Christians as being as bad as radical Muslims, that’s your choice. I don’t see it that way.

    Though I really don’t want to get too far away for Frances’ excellent point about Maher inadvertently giving O’Donnell a political boost, I will say that though abortion clinic attacks were the press darlings a couple of years ago, when a high-profile event were to occur, there were some who would describe themselves as Christians, who were dancing in the streets. I mean, heck, if you open it wider than just abortion, I’d describe the Phelps fellow’s protests at GI funerals, a form of dance.

    The same is true of Islam or environmentalists; There are some on the extreme who do something radical to societal norms and there are those who are almost there, except they lack the devotion to actually do something themselves, so they celibate what they’d consider victory.

    Maher is an entertainer. It’s not his job to promote healthy discussions of public policies.Fine, then he’s a amoral clown that shouldn’t be taken seriously.We agree. This 11-year old clip from a silly show is nonsense released from a dope who has no standards of responsibility and couldn’t care less what happens.

    Nope. He’s an entertainer who regularly engages politicians on topics both serious and comedic. The smart politicians know the difference between the two and know how to navigate them seamlessly without making themselves look stupid.

    The nutty dumbfucks like O’Donnell dig their own graves by whoring themselves out to the power of the TV while trying to be funny and entertaining, but actually end up looking stupid.

    We agree. This 11-year old clip exemplifies how O’Donnell was stupid enough to make a career of going on television weekly to spout ridiculously stupid opinions, and if she hopes to be a US Senator, she’s going to have to explain that stupidity.

    We also agree that one of the realities of being a politician is that anything you say publicly, REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM IT’S SAID IN, will reflect on you and your reputation, and O’Donnell is now paying the price for saying a lot of stupid shit on national television.

    Finally, we agree that blaming the messenger (Maher) for the mistakes that O’Donnell made is ignorant bullshit, and that it is not his responsibility to “care what happens” to O’Donnell when faced with her own words.

    I’m glad we came to agreement on these issues. Thank you for your time.

    The difference is this is an unedited clip whereas Mr. Breitbart purposely posted video excerpts deliberately chosen to mislead and discredit the NAACP as racist*. Mr. Maher is not putting words in Ms. O’Donnell’s mouth whereas Mr. Breitbart’s video excerpts were deliberately chosen with the intent to mislead viewers into thinking Ms. Sherrod, the speaker addressing the NAACP gathering, was saying the total opposite of what her speech was about.

    Mr. Maher obviously has affection for Ms. O’Donnell and this seems more like pigtail-pulling. He’s offering Ms. O’Donnell, free face-time on TV (what politician doesn’t want that ?) Mr. Breitbart gave Ms. Sherrod no such opportunity to explain herself to his audience. She lost her job and was humiliated nationally as a result of his underhanded tactics. Ms. O’Donnell, on the other hand, can return to Mr. Maher’s show, attribute her dabbling in witchcraft to youthful curiosity, and pitch her platform in the process.

    *Mr. Breitbart posted the excerpts on his site soon after the NAACP had passed a resolution requesting Tea Party leaders “…repudiate those in their ranks who use racist language in their signs and speeches.”

    You think Breitbart didn’t know about the larger context of that video? Really? Someone certainly selectively edited Sherrod’s speech, and it’s a good bet that someone as sleazy as Breitbart was aware of it.

    In the morning after she was fired from the Ag. Dept, Beck started to pile on during The Glenn Beck Program. Then he went silent about it until that afternoon when suddenly Beck discovered that “Context Matters.” (He has since conveniently forgotten all about context.) How did Beck become aware that there was a larger context? He could have watched CNN where Sherrod was making her case all day, or his good buddy Breitbart gave him a jingle and told him to NOT pile on as there was a bigger context to her speech segment.

    I said this in another thread, but I’ll repeat it since the notion of a clip coming back to haunt a person is more applicable here. This woman is canceling appearances left and right now because flat out she is RUNNING SCARED. And both she and her team have realized there is a BIG difference between working up some foaming at the mouth Tea Party supporters and getting their vote…and squeaking out a victory amongst those who were already leaning your direction…. versus winning an ACTUAL GENERAL RACE, where EVERYONE in the state will be voting on you.

    In other words, this fruit cake has woken up to reality — and the sad, pathetic reality of her even getting this far is that she really IS a total fruit cake. She’s said some truly bat shit crazy things in the past, and now all of the video clips are coming back to haunt her. Hence, she’s doing her best to now hide her head under a rock till election day, to desperately try and avoid answering any REAL questions put to her.

    Not to mention, she’s REPREHENSIBLE to me given her ULTRA far right views. Hey, I consider myself essentially pro-life, but all the same I do subscribe to the classic disclaimer that women who have been subjected to rape or incest and impregnated should be allowed to make a choice about what they want to do. However, nut jobs like O’Donnell and Angle (in Nevada) actually believe that any woman who’s been RAPED and made pregnant should NOT be allowed to abort, and should be FORCED to bring the baby to term.

    In fact, the most laughable line I heard recently was a radio clip, where Angle literally stated on the air – in yet another clip that’s surfaced which will surely haunt a candidate — that if a woman is beaten and raped and made pregnant, she should be MADE to bear the baby for the next 9 months… she should NOT be allowed to abort… because the baby “is actually a sign of God’s love.”

    Riiiiiiiight. Because if my GF was at home alone and an intruder broke in…violently beat her and raped her…and then got her pregnant…the FIRST thing I’d say to my GF, as I leaned over the hospital bed where she was waking up from the attack, would be to say “Don’t worry about the rape or the bruises or the pain or the emotional trauma you’ll probably feel for the rest of your life. And don’t worry about NOW being pregnant from that low-life monster either. Because, honey, this is all a sign of God’s love.”

    Gee, who’s the nut on meth now.

    I don’t think O’Donnell is a conservative, I think she’s good at playing a conservative on TV, which is why she got booked on Maher’s show so many times. She’s good television. She’s an entertainer. I don’t believe one bit of her story about witchcraft. Do you actually want to elect candidates who have the skills to effect conservative policies, or do you want to be entertained? I mean, if we’re just going to elect entertaining bomb-throwers who raise a lot of money by saying wacky things, no wonder nothing gets done here in Washington.

    See, that’s the difference between me and you. I have the brains to know that IF O’Donnell is elected Senator, she’ll be serving for several YEARS. During which time the economy will most likely adjust and right itself, as these things are cyclical. Mind you, that’s not to say that it won’t be painful or penny-pinching as those things happen, but glad to see that when looking at the LONG RANGE picture all you give a shit about is how many people are in your shop and not the ACTUAL welfare of our nation as a whole, or what kind of bat shit fucked up ultra Right laws this lunatic would be willing to vote for JUST to keep herself beholden to some equally ultra Right brain dead Tea Partiers.

    Just think of O’Donnell as desperately wishing she was Meg Ryan, perpetually playing out the famous “deli orgasm scene” from WHEN HARRY MET SALLY.

    Of course, the key to that scene is Meg Ryan moaning and playing with her hair and twisting in her seat and making you believe she’s really having an orgasm. But given O’Donnell’s puritanical views — where even masturbation is bad, bad, bad and if you have ANY sexual thoughts you’re going to hell, hell, hell — we can’t be sure that she’s ever actually experienced one.

    So, in the end, how good or convincing could O’Donnell’s acting actually be!

    The media’s track record has not been that good; although maybe they realized they gave Obama a “pass” on the vetting issue—so they will work on that by practicing on Palin and O’Donnell.

    Apparently the witchcraft thing is an inside joke, because I’m having trouble understanding what the issue is.

    Lots of upstanding pillars of society have dabbled in things, before realizing they weren’t on the right path. They pulled themselves out of it, as did O’Donnell. Hers sounds more like a story of salvation than of something to chuckle about.

    Note: I’m saying that as someone who really, really, really dislikes the teapartiers, as can be seen in my many dozens of posts about them here:

    http://24ahead.com/s/tea-parties

    In fact, this whole incident is an example of one of the reasons why I castigate the teapartiers: if they were smarter and saner they could have struck back against those smearing her. No on in the teaparties is smart and sane enough to rise to her defense in effective ways. All they’re good at is waving signs and playing dress-up games like little children.

    SteveMG said:> I have some of the same problems with Coon. I’m not voting in Delaware but if I did, I’d have to write in Castle’s name. Or someone else.

    Steve, I’m not saying this against you, as I don’t know your affiliation, but I’m addressing a fatal flaw in some of our conservatives. There is a saying that goes something like this:
    * There are three kinds of people in this world…
    * Those that can count…
    * And those that can”t
    Those conservatives fall in the third category. They don’t realize the difference or importance in winning an election and will vote to gratify themselves or to send a message (which will be lost in the other party’s victory celebration).

    We are a two party system, regardless of how many parties are listed on the ballot. The other parties may be on the list but they are losers. They will never win and the only message they are sending is how far or close they may be to being important.

    The General election is actually a run-off of the primary winners. The time to campaign your message is in the primary. If you can’t win there, you are not going to win the general. When your gut tells you it is important to win an election, support the winner of your primary.

    Again, the headline on this article is misleading; what is revealed in the clip is a gross understatement of the tease offered by medialite. No bother, it’s what I’ve come to expect. That said, I offer this:

    Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see.

    There once was a man named Saul. He persecuted Christians. One day, he had an epiphany that changed him forever. He changed his name to Paul, and became one of the greatest advocates of Christianity to ever walk upon the Earth. If God can accept the repentance of a man like Saul, and transform him into Paul, He can accept the repentance of a foolish young woman and shape her into an advocate for what is good.

    How Awful! Christine O’Donnell Once ‘Dabbled in Witchcraft’…Update: Hillary Talked to the Dead…

    WASHINGTON (CNN) – First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton held imaginary conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi as a therapeutic release, according to a new book written by Bob Woodward, says a report in Sunday’s edition of The Chicago Sun-Times.

    The first lady declined a personal adviser’s suggestion that she address Jesus Christ, however, because it would be “too personal,” according to Woodward’s book, “The Choice.”

    The book, which is still to be published, takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Clintons, as well as Bob and Elizabeth Dole.

    Woodward says the adviser was Jean Houston, co-director of the Foundation for Mind Research, which he describes as a group that studies the psychic experience and altered and expanded consciousness.

    The book portrays Houston as an influential adviser who urged Mrs. Clinton to write her book, “It Takes a Village and Other Lessons Children Teach Us,” and in the process “virtually moved into the White House” for days at a time to help with revisions, the Sun-Times reported.
    Woodward

    Woodward suggests the White House hoped to keep Mrs. Clinton’s relationship with Houston and her talks with the dead a secret.

    “Most people in the White House did not know about Hillary’s sessions with Houston. … To some of the few who did, the meetings could trigger politically damaging comparisons to Nancy Reagan’s use of astrology,” Woodward wrote.

    Mrs. Clinton’s spokeswoman, Lisa Caputo, is quoted in the Sun-Times as saying the first lady’s interest in Houston is no secret.

    Woodward says anthropologist Mary Catherine Bateson, daughter of famed anthropologist Margaret Mead, joined her in sessions of imaginary conversations.

    Woodward is an assistant managing editor at The Washington Post. As a reporter, he helped break the Watergate scandal with Carl Bernstein.

    Mrs. Clinton herself wrote about her imaginary conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt in her June 10 column. She said she talked to Roosevelt about the role of a first lady.

    “She usually responds by telling me to buck up, or at least to grow skin as thick as a rhinoceros,” Mrs. Clinton wrote.

    If so, I’d say rest easy. My guess is that the overwhelming majority of people under the age of 60 has dabbled in witchcraft, consulted a Ouija board and probably something like 40% have consumed something at one of those places in the woods, where the devil supposedly to dance.

The difference is, while you’ll go back fifty to a hundred years or more to point out instances of violence done in the name of Christianity, you seem reluctant to talk about what’s going on now, with the radical elements of Islam.

    “During the twentieth century, members of extremist groups such as the Army of God began executing attacks against abortion clinics and doctors across the United States.[37][38][39] A number of terrorist attacks, including the Centennial Olympic Park bombing during the 1996 Summer Olympics by Eric Robert Rudolph, were accused of being carried out by individuals and groups with ties to the Christian Identity and Christian Patriot movements; including the Lambs of Christ.[40]:105–120[41][42] A group called Concerned Christians were deported from Israel on suspicion of planning to attack holy sites in Jerusalem at the end of 1999, believing that their deaths would “lead them to heaven.”[43][44] The motive for anti-abortionist Scott Roeder murdering Wichita doctor George Tiller on May 31, 2009 was religious.[45]

    Hutaree was a Christian militia group based in Adrian, Michigan. In 2010, after an FBI agent infiltrated the group, nine of its members were indicted by a federal grand jury in Detroit on charges of seditious conspiracy to use of improvised explosive devices, teaching the use of explosive materials, and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence.[46]“

    But that’s just America. Do you REALLY want to go to bat for Serbs in Bosnia?

    “In 2001, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) judged that the 1995 Srebrenica massacre was genocide.[8] In the unanimous ruling “Prosecutor v. Krstić”, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), located in The Hague, reaffirmed that the Srebrenica massacre was genocide,[9] the Presiding Judge Theodor Meron stating:

    By seeking to eliminate a part of the Bosnian Muslims, the Bosnian Serb forces committed genocide. They targeted for extinction the forty thousand Bosnian Muslims living in Srebrenica, a group which was emblematic of the Bosnian Muslims in general. They stripped all the male Muslim prisoners, military and civilian, elderly and young, of their personal belongings and identification, and deliberately and methodically killed them solely on the basis of their identity.[10]

    In September 2006, former Bosnian Serb leader Momcilo Krajisnik was found guilty of multiple instances of crimes against humanity, but while the ICTY judges found that there was evidence that crimes committed in Bosnia constituted the criminal act of genocide (actus reus), they did not establish that the accused possessed genocidal intent, or was part of a criminal enterprise that had such an intent (mens rea).[11]“

    In this case, Maher is deliberately releasing partial clips to make her look bad.

    Look, she’s not qualified to be in the Senate. But this is sleazy by Maher.

    But not surprising.

    Not all who calls themselves Christian or uses the name of Christ in their organization are Christians.
    To be a Christian requires following what Jesus Christ taught, within the grace and mercy of God.
    The same is true of most religions relative to the teachings of its master, i.e., to be a Muslim requires one to follow the Qur’an.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qur%27an

    The Parable of the Good Samaritan, from the books known as the New Testament:

    Luke 10:25 Now an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 10:26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you understand it?” 10:27 The expert answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.” 10:28 Jesus said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”

    10:29 But the expert, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 10:30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him up, and went off, leaving him half dead. 10:31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, but when he saw the injured man he passed by on the other side. 10:32 So too a Levite, when he came up to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 10:33 But a Samaritan who was traveling came to where the injured man was, and when he saw him, he felt compassion for him. 10:34 He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 10:35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever else you spend, I will repay you when I come back this way.’ 10:36 Which of these three do you think became a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” 10:37 The expert in religious law said, “The one who showed mercy to him.” So Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.”

    The key to judging how we should vote for any person running for office is their humility and repentance for past words, actions or deeds, for all have sinned and come short…, including all the self righteous commentators who have written in this column. So far in all my years, I have never met a perfect human. Character is more important than political position. Character is the measure of a person, political position is the measure of a survey at a moment in time.

  • OldJudge

    Cussing never gave me or any person increased character. It’s only futility of frustration in poor communication skills. And the greatest people I have ever met, who followed the pattern of the Good Samaritan were like one writer, The Real Royal King, referred to as “Holy Roller”s, an old slang term used to discriminate against those who claim the baptism of the Holy Ghost as found in the book of Acts 1:8, who sought to live a life of good character, pleasing to God and helpful to all mankind..

    I don’t care how silly her past opinions may have been regarding social issues, really. It’s America, she’s entitled to them. Some call into question her judgment and relevancy, but hey, if people want to vote for anyways, whatever.

    My major issue is that she’s an unemployed individual that has never held an important job, never graduated from college, and used campaign money on her bad personal expenses and financial decisions. This is not the credibility I feel a person should have to be a US senator.

    I agree completely. Obama was not qualified to be president, IMO, and she is not qualified to be a US senator.

    I agree. I can have respect for anyone who demonstrates they are truly concerned about the welfare of this country as a whole and communicates honestly instead of playing political games, even if I don’t agree with them on issues. We must try to encourage the honor of respectful disagreement , and value honesty and character over partisanship.

    Merriam-Webster traces the word to 1841.[1] The term is commonly used derisively, as if to describe people literally rolling on the floor or speaking in tongues in an uncontrolled manner.

  • OldJudge

    Yes no-touchy–, 1841 was a year with many slang based discriminating terms that were and still are off-based terms used against people of true faith to Acts 2. Does the fact that it is in the dictionary mean we cut someone slack who has no grasp of its context or truth?

  • OldJudge

    no-touchy,
    Does Christine O’Donnell testify to having received the baptism of the Holy Ghost with speaking in tongues as per Acts 2, and if so, is “Holy Roller” the correct derogatory term that shows intelligent dialog to such state regarding her election? I have never heard any such comments. So, I surmise, “The Real Royal King” was only using the term as slander against another politician?

    You’re just a masochist, aren’t you? One of those self-flaggelating right wingers who will just throw out some wild, unsubstantiated claim and hope that their fellow conservative bloggers will have his back.

    Sorry. Your EXACT words:

    “The difference is, while you’ll go back fifty to a hundred years or more to point out instances of violence done in the name of Christianity…”

    Writer, I didn’t have to go back fifty to a hundred DAYS.

    I’ve told folks in here before. This attack minorities and muslim stuff unopposed might work on Hot Air or Redstate. It ain’t flying here, writer.

    Mahers says –The fact that Delaware is so small and getting so much attention over the woman, shows that there is something very wrong in America ..

    Ya Mahers. Thats why you’re making a big deal out of this nobody. Got to keep those rating up. You’re not fooling anyone. Especially us Libertarians. You progressive you….LOL

  • stacey3bernier

    Hey Bill, some things you say in the past really bite you in the ass. Sort of like your on air comment on Politically correct. Agreeing with Dinesh D’Souza, that the 9/11 terrorists did not act in a cowardly manner. Maher replied, “We have been the cowards. Lobbing cruise missiles from two thousand miles away. That’s cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building. Say what you want about it. Not cowardly.” Hmm….which is worse? Something she did when she was a teenager, where as we all know teenagers do stupid things, or something you said on air right after September 11th when emotions were still fresh. You have no room to talk!!! Try finding something of real substance on her as an adult.

  • stacey3bernier

    Correction. Politically Incorrect.

    How about this Maher, comparing mentally disabled children as dogs?

  • writer

    Cobra, since you continue to point out the bad actions of so-called Christians, and always shift the topic to that instead of the bad actions of radical Muslims, I fail to see how you have unsubstantiated my point.

    So here is the truth about Bill Maher. I have been in ‘the scene’ for quite a while, worked in Hollywood, been to his show and know friends of his. He needs to keep his mouth shut. And I’m surprised women haven’t come out about him. I used to be a fan but after watching him, week after week, attack HiIlary and then Sarah…it just got nauseating. He and CNN made me want to become a Republican the way they gave Obama an easy ride into the White House. Holding him accountable for NADA. So here it goes.

    Bill Maher:

    1.) Has sex with 16 year olds on a regular basis.
    2.) Makes them get breast implants.
    3.) Is into AEF – where he suffocates women during sex.
    4.) Before every show on PI and RTWBM (in his dressing room) he masturbates.

    I kid you not. These are all facts and I hope this becomes public and that each women he attempts to degrade in the future shoves this in his sick ugly face while on air.

  • OldJudge

    Lots of rants and rave, and accusations without confirmation, slander without accountability, degrading comments and terms with no integrity, all from friends, commentators, Democrats, Republicans, and who knows, but this is no place for an honest journalist, if such a person exists.

    Spell, smell or get out of the way.
    We need some verifiable references to the comments.

    sad to say most makes it to the airwaves once it “out there”

  • thetruth2

    It’s the truth, sorry. I’ve never posted on here before or in general. It sickens me how he gets away with destroying lives and it’s about time he got a taste of his own medicine. My name is Michelle and I will go public on any show about the low-life he is. There is no way I am letting Bill Maher give us another 4 years of Obama’s lies. The plastic surgeon in BH who gets paid 10K for each augmentation can verify. Plus he is rep’d by Brillstein & Gray (Marc Gurvitz) who know what a low-life he is. Sorry, the truth hurts. And I can guarantee all the producers know what goes on before he goes on air. Funny, he can obsess on Sarah Palin for months and you guys dont give a damn but the truth gets out there and you’re hurt? Get over it. And truth1 was taken, jerk off.

    @ Cobra—-Could I not argue that the Christian world came to the rescue of the Bosnian Muslim’s in the forum of the military of the United stats and the United Kingdom,the majority who’s members(Bill Clinton) are Christian.I remember watching news story’s(ABC,NBC CBS,FOX,CNN)about Christian’s in there Churches preparing care package’s for the displaced Mulims.When Christian do wrong the majority of Christian’s condem it,in the case of Bosnia risk there lives.

    Aw Jeez Now I got to defend a guy I don’t like..
    You are totally nutz…………………………………………….

  • thetruth2

    it’s all fact. Bill Maher is “nutz” and what he does to women is sick. He should be in jail and any man that defends him, belongs in there with him. You cant screw every chick in a skirt for 15 years and expect these women to keep quiet. I wont get into his cocaine addiction and how many young women and men have had to get him drugs over the last decade. We can save that for another post.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tony-Westover/1496648721 Tony Westover

    Bill Maher is a rampant misogynist, I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. So why would any woman subject themselves to his little non-influential show? Clearly Maher needs O’Donnell much, much more than O’Donnell needs Maher.

  • ksecus

    Maher better be careful or Palin and ODonnell will put some voodoo on him. Maybe they will whip up a batch of toads eyes and horse hair and put a spell on Maher.

    The cons have become a bunch of laughingstocks.

  • rockytop10se

    Reading these posts is better than watching the Jerry Springer Show! (Or should I say worse?) Instead of intelligent conversation, it is full of name calling, foul language and and allegations without any facts to back them up. Admittedly, there have been a few points worthy of conversation, but for the most part, even those have degraded into schoolyard taunting and name calling. Is it any wonder our political system is in the shape it is in?

    And Francis, why would you want to promote Maher trying to destroy someone. Is there that much hate in you also?

    Uh, Batboy, two questions. First, are you referring to Frances Martel, the guy who wrote this article? Second, if you are, did you read this part: “The bizarre thing about the “attacks” on O’Donnell so far is that few, if any, have anything to do with actual policy…. Not even Bill Maher can come up with something particularly mean-spirited to say about her. As embarrassing as the clips may be, having a far-left commentator try to coyly humiliate her just to get face time with her is about as positive an endorsement as any Tea Party candidate has gotten”? Hardly something that one would equate with promoting Mr. Maher.
