"I dabbled into witchcraft," O'Donnell said. "One of my first dates with a witch was on a Satanic altar, and I didn't know it. I mean, there's little blood there and stuff like that... We went to a movie and then had a midnight picnic on a Satanic altar."

As someone who actually DID dabble in witchcraft in his college years, I can absolutely assure you that witchcraft has NOTHING to do with Satanic altars!

The headlines should be reading 'Tea Party darling reveals Satanic past", except that, of course, real Satanists don't have picnics on their altars.

1. She just said that to get attention...

That's all these GOP wanna bes are all about, getting attention...

[C_U_L8R]

2. the real question is...

who's blood was it?

[pinboy3niner]

3. But it was a HELLUVA picnic! nt

[hobbit709]

4. She wouldn't know a real one of either if it bit her on the ass.

[DCKit]

5. "...real Satanists don't have picnics on their altars."

Says you. No telling what was on the menu that night.

[pinboy3niner]

11. On the menu? Deviled eggs, for starters...

:evilgrin:

[damntexdem]

6. She constantly dabbles in fantasy.

And she blabs all her fantasies.

[bushisanidiot]

7. You're right. She's either a satanist or she dated a guy who

was trying to impress or trick her into thinking he was into something that he knew nothing about, or she was just flat out lying to try to impress her "fans".

Considering her long track record of lying, I would bank on the "she's lying again" option.

[Cetacea]

8. You are correct. Repubwiccan was so good. Oh well.

The Christian right should be made aware that she was involved with Satanism. Not witchcraft.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

I personally think she made the whole thing up to sell the whole christian redemption

bullshit. I think she's a compulsive liar and yes she doesn't know dick about witchcraft, wiccanism (sic), etc. She's conflating 2 completely different things. I know nothing about these spiritual practices and even I knew that as soon as she mentioned satanic she was clueless.

[MineralMan]

10. I believe you have it.

It sounded like a fanciful tale from the very beginning. She's a serial liar. The fanatical fundies often tell lies about things like Satanism to reinforce their nonsensical dogma. Sounds just like what this cretinette might have done.

15. I'd say David Cross provides the best

example of this:

9. I can't fathom the demographic she thought her comments would snag

Politicians will usually throw out coy regular-guy talking points about smoking dope, or marital troubles, or whatever.

But this one stumps me

[Tippy]

12. witchcraft has NOTHING to do with Satanic altars!

Ditto this statement...give me a witch any day over someone who is a Satinist, I wouldn't think they would have a picnic on the alter..but that is a possibility.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. As a practicing level 14 cleric/werewolf, I disagree.

Since it's all just made up, who's to say what's valid and what isn't?

[Rex]

18. Hey now! I am a level 36 car driver/worker...just made level 36!

I get a +1 to my tires and a +2 dodge on the highway!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. You're not a real cab driver.

You haven't registered for membership in the Official Church of Cab Driving Orthodoxy.

Begone, heathen.

[Bluenorthwest]

14. Translation is needed.

By 'witchcraft' she means 'satanism' by 'date' she means 'fuck' and by 'picknicked on' she means 'did drugs off of'.

[frogmarch]

16. Okay, so witchcraft doesn't

involve Satan worship. Too bad no one told the Puritans that at the onset of the Salem witch trials. All those accused of witchcraft were said to have had dealings with the Devil.

[Rex]

17. So she dated a witch on a satanic altar? Do I have that correct?

Somehow, I feel Christine is dragging witches and satan worshippers down a level just by her being slightly associated with both groups in the past.

[peekaloo]

20. She's still reeling from the 9/11 hit on the Pentagram.

:+

[pinboy3niner]

21. :spray: You win the thread!

All our internets are belong to you. :rofl:

[northofdenali]

22. That's okay, even if she dabbled in Satanism or

the more traditional, white witchcraft............

Sarah's witch doctor can do an exorcism.............

[Canuckistanian]

23. Besides, Satanism isn't a valid religion

It's just a reaction to stifling "Christian values". "Satanism" wouldn't even exist without the Bible explaining who Satan was.

Wicca however, is an ancient belief system that PREDATES Christianity. Wiccans don't even BELIEVE in Satan.

I HATE it when the media confuses the two.

[SoCalDem]

24. My roomie & I used to sunbathe on the marble slabs in a cemetery

near our dorm.. It was creepy but refreshingly quiet.

We did not think of ourselves as blasphemers & evil girls, but I guess we were.. but then there was no witchcraft:)

[boppers]

25. Well, to be accurate, there are some traditions that might get confused...

IoT and OTO, for example, have rites and rituals that Christians would confuse with Satanism (OTO and Thelema offshoots even more so, because of Baphomet.)

26. I'm guessing she lost her virginity on the altar in some sort of ritual...

That might explain the "little blood" aspect of the comment, which is pretty surprising to me. Bloodplay is pretty serious stuff...

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

27. She may have dabbled in something

She may have dabbled in something but it obviously didn't take. Look at her now, an intolerant Repub Tea Partier who appears to be a Palin clone.

Off topic thought, How can they have Palin clones, I thought cloning was illegal.

[ThomThom]

28. Having sex on a rock somewhere with deviled eggs is not witchcraft

if she dabbled.... what spells did she do? She is a very confused person.
