Apparently if you criticize a Black Politician you are called a racist. I guess it depends what the criticism is. If you disagree with the policies, that's fair. If you dig up some old gaffe or slip of the tongue, that's partisan (yes, it cuts both ways) but still good. If you call him/her an Uncle Tom or a Kenyan born Muslim, then you might have a problem. Same with women, just with slightly different entries on that final point.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winsor 192 #31 September 20, 2010 My objection to Christine O'Donnel is that she appears to be an idiot. The particular brand of drivel she spouts, whether evangelical or satanic, is less of a concern than the fact that anything she espouses becomes suspect by virtue of its association with her. "Witchcraft" as known to European types is typically a label applied by Rome in days of yore to discredit any competition. "Wiccan," from which the English term "witch" apparently derives, is more benign by a long shot than the religion marketed by the Vatican. Reference to witchcraft and sorcery in Torah is similarly focused on opposing dilution of franchise. The "Church of Satan," as marketed by Anton Szandor LaVey, is a singularly innocuous organization. Its appeal appears to be to people who need to prove to themselves that they are not REALLY sheep, by doing something they see as being Wild and Crazy. Yawn. In any event, my dismay with the candidate from Delaware is because she impressed me as a dolt. I am not all that interested in hearing her out, since I do not place a premium on stupidity.

There are indeed a lot of very unintelligent politicians out there; in general they are not worth listening to. However, a small subset of them are highly amusing, and often have The Onion beat as a source of (for them, unintentional) satire - and for that I am grateful. How boring would the last election have been without Sarah Palin's antics? Bush I's presidency surely would have been a lot more grim without Dan Quayle's comedic diversions. And Ford's remarkable clumsiness provided grist for countless Saturday Night Live sketches. One gem: "Mars is essentially in the same orbit [as Earth.] Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe."

Exactly. To the point, they are attacking her, not her policies. They are calling her a witch, extremists, crazy, and all kinds of other things, but no one is talking about her policies. I wonder why? Another question. Which is worse, pretending to be wiccan as a teenager or doing blow and other drugs thru college?

That is nothing more than lusts of the flesh and spiritual blindness. Jesus Christ will set you free. That is the true freedom.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

billvon 2,476 #47 September 22, 2010 >I still don't get what the problem with her being a witch is. No problem at all. She can be a witch, a Muslim, a Christian or an atheist if she likes. And who knows? Perhaps the right wing's predictable defense of her might actually get them thinking about tolerating religions they don't agree with - which would be a good thing all around.
