Thanks to reader Firelight, I learn that Christine O’Donnell has a lesbian sister. Apparently, some of the rather outlandish statements O’Donnell made about gay people are 15 years ago when the Delaware Republican Senate nominee was in her 20s.
From her sister’s Facebook page, there’s this:
Jennie O’Donnell to all my friends and family..thank you for your great wishes.. for the wisdom to see through the insane lies that were being tossed around, and still will be, i supose. i’m sure they will make up new ones; but thank you for your love, support prayers, good humor… and support of my sister,no matter what lies were made up about her…oh.. p.s. haave you heard the latest? she’s homophobic… gotta laugh
Don’t have much time today, but have already reached out to Jennie and hope to talk to her before the weekend is out.
The MSM is using Christine O’Donnell as a substitute for Sarah Palin & George W. Bush; all the media has left is to attack since they cannot stand for the Obama Democrats’ Marxist policies. The MSM is is total meltdown as they protect Obama & any Obama Democrats for November. However, all the MSM is just showing their true colors as their ratings go further into the toilet.
The MSM will ignore Christine O’Donnell’s lesbian sister’s truth to push their lies. The MSM along with the Obama Democrats are in full panic mode. Therefore, Christine O’Donnell may have to unleash her lesbian gay sister onto the networks to cut their false narrative off.
More surprising news breaking on the supposed “social prude” Christine O’Donnell. Ready for it?
She’s a libertarian on the drug issue. Yup! Attended the Libertarian Party of Delaware meeting in June as their guest speaker. Asked about drugs she said “get the Feds out of it.” And leave people alone.
Of course, the liberal media is even mentioning this. Cause it doesn’t fit their template.
And of course in the mind of the right wing, simply saying something is a lie makes it so. Or taken out of context. Or misquoted by the big bad “mainstream media”. Being young and in your 20’s excuses what exactly?
Being young and in your 20’s excuses what exactly?
Well, if you’re Bill Ayers, blowing up buildings, killing policemen, and plotting to murder hundreds of US servicemen and their significant others.
Barack Obama said so, didn’t he?
Meanwhile, when you consider how Barack Obama and the Obama Party screamed that Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy, who, exactly, is trying to make the arbitrary determination of reality?
Being young and in your 20’s excuses what exactly?
Unlike progressives, the intellectual and emotional development of conservatives does not cease in the sophomore year of high school.
I guess Mike is one of those people that never held any beliefs in his teen years or early 20’s that he doesn’t hold now. I guess he was righteous and always right even then and no one ever took anything he said the wrong way, or misunderstood his position on anything.
Unlike Mike however, most people (yes, even some gay people and democrats) have the capacity to change their views on things over time. Barack Obama used to be for same-sex marriage until he thought better of it and decided to be only for civil unions.

A few years ago, Harry Reid actually proposed legislation that would get rid of the “anchor baby” loop hole. Now, he’s adamently against that kind of thing & advocates giving illegals college educations, a jump to the head of the citizenship line and whatever else he thinks will get him re-elected.
So, if these democrats can get a pass for changing their point of view why shouldn’t Christine O’Donnell? At least she was young and still figuring out exactly what she believed back then, these jerks are all fully grown adults so what’s their excuse?
4: Big Lie: Obama screamed Palin faked her pregnancy? Where exactly is that documented?

Oh please.
No one believes that Andi Sullivan, Media Mutters, Rachel Madcow, and the rest of the Journo-List media, who repeat every single talking point that Barack Obama sends them, who won’t print a single thing without Barack Obama telling them to do it, and who were actively coordinating with Barack Obama and the Obama campaign on how to trash Sarah Palin, thought that one up on their own.
Of course, if you’re willing to state that all of these people who said Palin faked her pregnancy are idiots in an attempt to save your Obama from the consequences of his own meme, who are we to argue?
Funny how lesbians don’t count when they’re Republicans. Christine O’Donnell’s sister can, unfortunately, expect the full Mary Cheney treatment.
NDT makes a good point. Democrat candidates don’t have to directly smear their Republican opponents. They just have their press agent call some friendly media types (and 90% of the media are Democrat hacks anyway) and spread the smears for them.
And what was I just saying about Democrats using media surrogates to smear their opponents.
Apparently she also practiced witchcraft in her youth. HAHAHAHA!! I don’t know about you guys, but my impetuous youth didn’t extend to anything that wacky. The fact that you’ve been fighting so hard to soften the edge of this loon is proof of how craven you are. This woman has no more credibility than Alvin Greene and you don’t see the Dems giving him any money or attention.
I am unsettled by her promotion of the ex-gay movement though, which is harmful especially to those who go into the process. I am not sure how she feels about it now a day but she used to be a big promoter of it…so I dunno. It bothers me at least.
If she keeps blabbering about the “ex-gay” thing, she will convince everybody who isn’t a total wacko that she is an idiot. But let’s hope that this was long ago, and that she has since been enough of a cognizant human being to learn something from her sister.
Even some Tea Party people regard O’Donnell as an embarrassment. I know people who are less than thrilled with her. But a lot of us said stupid things when we were in our twenties. Hell, the media presents us every day with people (Democrats especially) who are still saying stupid things well into middle age.
The ex-gay issue is what she has to address. Where does she currently stand on that issue. But she cancelled out of Fox News Sunday and another Sunday Talk show….

Fortunately, Mike and the other Obama Party members who lack self-awareness to the point where they can be screaming about things in one person’s background while insisting that nothing in any Obama Party member’s background makes one bit of difference are here to provide us with their hypocritical amusement.
This provides us with an excellent example for comparison. According to Mike:
“I dabbled into witchcraft” = Unfit to be a Senator under any circumstances
“I got drunk, raped one of my brother’s staffers, drove my car off the bridge into the water with said staffer in it and left her to die, tried to hide it from the law, and used my family’s money and influence to purchase my way out of it” = Obama Party leader of the Senate and deserves to have his Senate seat passed on to one of his relatives after his death
Sounds like your argument is based entirely on moral equivalence NDT. I could very well say that the GOP is completely fine with running an admitted visitor of prostitutes like David Vitter. Are you? Moral equivalence. Apparently the GOP was also fine with having Larry Craig in the Senate as well. Why don’t you run along to some public bathroom and wait for one of the upstanding and moral leaders of your party to come along so you can get some?
Also, you really make the jump there to rape. He raped Mary Jo Kopechne? Here’s a much easier jump to make: did Sen. Vitter check the ID of every prostitute he visited in his long career of visiting prostitutes? Sounds like the GOP may be harboring a potential child molester to me.
So, it’s bad that Christine O’Donnell “dabbled in witchcraft,” but it would have been okay if she had palled around with unrepentent terrorists, or spent twenty years in a church led by a shouting America-hating racist minister?
Progressive reasoning.
Sounds like the GOP may be harboring a potential child molester to me.
Some names for Mike to Google: Gerry Studds, Sam Adams (Mayor of Portland OR), Gary Becker, Jeffrey Rosato, Gary Becker (mayor of Racine WI), Stephen Jabbour, Charles Rust-Tierney, and Gus Savage.
Google all of those names, and then get back to us on which party harbors paedophiles. Could you do that for me, Mike? Thanks.
Moral equivalence much V the K? Mark Foley? Bob Bauman, Dan Crane, Buz Lukens, Phillip Giordano. How about YOU google all those names and then YOU get back to me.
By the way, did you get out to the Values Voters summit? I heard Newt Gingrich and Mark Sanford were doing a team seminar on the sanctity of marriage. Anyway, this is a tangent, but it is hilarious to see you all falling over yourselves trying to defend this nut. She was in a coven? LOL! Don’t the teabaggers want to get back to the founders vision of America? I’m pretty sure they took a fairly negative view toward admitted witches, even just dabblers.
Mark Foley — kicked out of office by Republicans for sending text messages to pages. Dan Crane, kicked out of office by Republicans after having sex with an underage female page. Buz Lukens… kicked out of office. Bob Bauman, kicked out of office. Philip Giordano, sent to prison.
Gerry Studds… re-elected nine times by Democrats after actually molesting a male page.
Sam Adams… still in office. Still supported by the Democrat establishment.
Gus Savage … pardoned by Bill Clinton, hired by Rainbow PUSH.
Gary Becker… 3 years in prison. (Compare with 37 years for Phil Giordano.) Rust-Tierney … probation.
Moral equivalence? Not even close. Republicans repudiate sex offenders. For Democrats, it’s a resume-enhancer. (What’s Client Number Nine doing these days? Oh, yeah, he has a show on CNN.)
Not to mention, most of Mike’s Republican scandals happened way back in in the 80’s. While the Adams, Becker, Rosato, Jabbour, and Rust-Tierney scandals occurred within the last three years.
My mistake, Rust-Tierney got seven years.
Oh, and BTW, how many times did Ted Kennedy and Chris Dodd get re-elected by Democrats after sexually assaulting a waitress at La Brasserie? Four times? Five Times? I count eight times, between them, but I’m not 100% on that.
Democrat motto: “Hey, let the other side worry about morals and ethics.”
Christine O’Donnell’s primary win has thrown the MSM for a loop–let alone incumbant, Mike Castle; they need to tear O’Donnell down before she becomes more powerful such as Senator O’Donnell. The fear is palpable. This is why the MSM is throwing the mud plus the kitchen sink to destroy Christine O’Donnell with the witchcraft, masturbation, & her own finance problems. They FEAR her. Why? She has beliefs & stands by them unlike the moral relativism from most Leftists.
V, Chris Dodd & Ted Kennedy–often drunk–would call their waitress victims, “Waitress Sandwiches.” Yet the MSm was mum about Dodd & Kennedy’s corruption & abuse of these innocent women. Mike, where’s your outrage? Oh, you have none since they have D’s in their name. You’re a good little follower Mike. Don’t forget your leash & collar. woof, woof!
I’m glad the moral high ground is working out for Sen. Vitter. I like how you dismiss what Foley did out of hand…just a couple “text messages” asking about masturbation habits. Don’t let Christine know!
Take a look at your facts: Crane got the GOP nomination in ’84!!! Defeated by a Democrat in the general. Bauman? Defeated by a Dem. In all fairness, Bauman’s scandal occurred after he had secured the nomination (I get my facts correct, unlike V the K). Spitzer has a show on CNN. Vitter is the GOP nominee for US Senate. What does that tell you? I’ll give it to Bobby Jindal, at least he has the integrity not to endorse Vitter. You guys will need Jindal in the future anyway: to perform exorcisms on Christine O’Donnell.
Sounds like your argument is based entirely on moral equivalence NDT. I could very well say that the GOP is completely fine with running an admitted visitor of prostitutes like David Vitter. Are you?
Sounds like you can’t answer, Mike, and are trying to divert and spin.
So let’s carry out your “logic” and have you adhere to this statement: anyone who has ever committed anything that was against the law or of questionable virtue has no right to be a US Senator or hold elective office, and should be impeached and removed immediately.
Now, Barack Obama admitted to using cocaine, which is illegal under US law.
Call for his impeachment, Mike. Prove that you mean it.
Or come up with an argument for why it doesn’t count and nail yourself for “moral equivalence”.
That really is what is funny here. Mike shrieks about Vitter and others, but never repudiates such behavior within his own party. Meanwhile, even he is forced to admit that Republicans do not all endorse Vitter.
The game here is really that of a child who is losing, begins to cheat, and starts screaming that others are wrong for not following the rules. “Progressives” like Mike are incapable of functioning in normal society without special rights and privileges, such as we see in the Congressional Black Caucus and its belief that black skin exempts you from having to follow the law.
@Mike you talk an enormous amount of CRAP.
The dabbling into witchcraft if you can call it that, occurred when O’Donnell was in high school, because her boyfriend at the time was into that kind of thing. She stated that she did not join a coven. She probably went to something once.
Oh BTW, I plead guilty to a bit of dabbling too. You see I have read my horoscopes from time to time…. oh my how bad is that !!
What gets me though about your rantings is that you excuse the late Senator Kennedy who screwed a woman and got her pregnant, and then he made sure that she drowned. You say nothing about the murder committed by a member of the Kennedy clan.
So spare us your particular style of garbage.
@Mike,
please spare the people here your particular brand of drivel.
Truly you rant and rave about Christine O’Donnell but you continue to ignore the fact that the late Senator Edward Kennedy allowed a young woman, Mary Jo Kopeckne drown in his car.
