Christine O’Donnell: I Looked At Politically Incorrect As A Way To Share My Faith

Christine O’Donnell, who, judging by the polls, is not long for this political world, did an interview with the Christian Broadcast Network in which she reflected on God (“God is the reason that I’m running”), being a conservative woman (“they wouldn’t do the things that they’re doing if I weren’t a woman”), and her time on the cable TV circuit circa the late nineties.

It’s hard to say at this point whether Bill Maher‘s relentless mocking of Christine O’Donnell has helped or hurt her. On the one hand she has been the subject of much not-so-nice criticism and the butt of many, many jokes. And, in her short time in the spotlight, has basically come to define the utter strangeness of this year’s midterms. On the other hand, she is now a nationally recognized name, and the polls have never indicated she ever had a shot at winning, so if she intends on following the Sarah Palin to its current conclusion she’s actually rather amazingly set up for it.

Either way, here’s how O’Donnell explained her former TV life. On a related note, I’m not convinced her former TV life (witchcraft and all) would have mattered all that much if she’d been able to back up her current political life with some tenable policy chops. Maybe next time. From the CBN interview:

“I’m not someone who has always planned her life for when I run for office one day obviously or I wouldn’t have said all those things on TV. In the 90’s I looked at all the TV opportunities as a ministry opportunity, as an opportunity to share my new found faith with a television audience that otherwise would not be watching when I would go on “Politically Incorrect”.

If I were planning to run for office in 10-15 years I would have been much more guarded not that I regret anything I’ve said but because I’m a vocal person I state my opinion when I think that something’s wrong or right I speak up.

Watch below.

I’m sure she’ll have a show on Faux after she looses. Nothing to worry, she is their new media darling.

Step out of the way Grandma Grizzy, the Witch is here!!

I’m actually looking forward to her new show on the Discovery Channel: Christine O’Donnell’s Delaware.

That’s all folks!

She is done.

Every poll says as much.

Looking forward to seeing her praise Jesus on a new Fox show in 2011.

Whats even stranger is the right wing freaks here
that actually think she is qualified for any office!

no birth certificate and can’t be president.
I guess they are always wrong!

“Please pray for the campaign; please pray for our staff; please pray specifically that the eyes of the voters be opened.”

Fundamentalists like Christine O’Donnell consider 0.01% as a high success rate when it comes to answered prayers, and evidence that prayer works. However, the remaining 99.99% FAILURE is simply the will of God.

Didn’t this obscenely overcompensated hack STEAL the codes that led to his fortune?

Alvin Green is qualified. He told me so. I mean my God even Brooks has this right , all smug and condesending, the DIMS really don’t want to talk about much other than her. God lord if she by some miracle actually does win, I do beleive that the entire MSNBC crew will collectively jump off of the nearest bridge. Nope let’s not talk about healthcare, debt, the future, KSM, pound that crazy witch story. Maybe we can fool the public into believing that she’s representative. PS, I heard that Katie Clueless is meeting with the great “UNWASHED” Americans now. You know, just to pass them a quick wipe. Mediaite, where is Katie?

I don’t see an issue with her statements about prayer.

This woman needs meds and I’m not saying that as a snark or joke.. she needs meds and a long nap, until the election is over. Then she can go back to her church and pray for lollipops and sugarbears.

When you use terms like “Marxist” it only proves how stupid and brainwashed Fox viewers are . They sit in back rooms with their GOP king makers and come up with this rhetoric, talking points, scary simple words to use to gin up their base .. and loons like you fall for it.

Out of nowhere with no legitimate reason they call him a “marxist” “communist” etc because they know 1) you nimrods have no clue what those terms really are and 2) they know they can scare you into believing anything they say.

I can guarantee you and people like you don’t have IQ’s above 60. You are non-thinking people and it’s just sad.

“…the system of economic and political thought developed by Karl Marx, along with Friedrich Engels, esp. the doctrine that the state throughout history has been a device for the exploitation of the masses by a dominant class, that class struggle has been the main agency of historical change, and that the capitalist system, containing from the first the seeds of its own decay, will inevitably, after the period of the dictatorship of the proletariat, be superseded by a socialist order and a classless society.”

Pretty much says it all, right? – unless you can show me where Obama’s frame of thought differs from this in some way?!

Completely off topic, but since we get so MUCH anti-Christine O’Donnel stuff here, I thought I would post a Larry O’Donnel story here. I don’t quite understand why Glynnis isn’t reporting this:

Ted – Bitching and whining? You just don’t get it. I’m laughing my clymer off at the absurdity and over-the-top reporting here on Christine, who you lefties claim doesn’t have a snowballs chance of winning anything. If that is the case, why is she topic number one around these parts?

Really, you have MSNBC violating MSNBC ethics (per Griffin who claims we don’t do DNC talking points) daily, and yet…..silent, crickets, nada, zilch, nothing.

You have voting violations on going in Nevada – silent, crickets, nada, zilch, nothing. Just more Christine or Sarah.

There isn’t even a Beck moment of the day today, but there is a rumor story about Clarance Thomas that belongs on gossip cop.

Open your eyes Ted, accept the humor, the laughter, the fun-ness of it all.

Here’s a news flash. Listen carefully. O’Donnell is going to have her dumb ass handed to her, on a tea-bagging platter. I know this is heartbreaking. Sorry.

The rest of your post is just blather, a pencil eraser could have said as much.

you lost dude.

While your focus may be on individuals, the bigger picture should be somewhat surprising.

It’s amazing what a pencil eraser can accomplish.

Sure, she went on a comedy show to advertise her faith by talking about orgies in coed bathrooms, midnight picnics on blood-covered satanic altars, denying evolution and turning Anne Frank over to the Nazis. Christine O’Donnell has done less for modern Christianity than she has for her third failed Senate campaign. Thanks, witch!
