An old video of Christine O'Donnell has surfaced, following the one in which she denounced masturbation. In this one from 1997, she said the U.S. government is spending way too much money on the AIDS crisis. O'Donnell, supported by the Tea Party, was a surprise winner of the Republican primary for Senate in Delaware on Tuesday.

LOL, what a dumb bitch. I could barely watch all of that. So each and every one of the 33 million people afflicted with AIDS got it because their behavior brought it on themselves? What does she say to the women who got it from their husbands? Or for that matter, the people who got it from their lovers when THEY were the ones who remained faithful? What does she say to the babies who got it from their mothers? What does she say to the women who got it from their rapists?

Apparently she thinks all that is just the spinning & manipulation of words. Nice.

They're grasping at straws to stone this woman now. If the woman has said stupid things, she'll fit right in in the Senate. xD

The woman is a total moron. She wouldn't be saying that if she had AIDS. It's really sad that some citizens are dumb enough to put someone like that in office.

Citizens put in a president who thought we had 57 states and a vice president who thought FDR got in TV in 1929 to talk about the depression. Apparently they like putting up dumb people.MandyPerfumeGirl wrote:The woman is a total moron. She wouldn't be saying that if she had AIDS.

O'Donnell is still better than her opponent too. And having now actually watched the video, I can say that O'Donnell is not an idiot. I also don't like the thread title in regards to what she actually says in the video. O'Donnell is smarter than people realize. It's going for those with opposite views that have gotten our country into such a mess.

I'm not saying you should care at all. But my posting it is no more disingenuous than you implying that the current president and VP believed that there are 57 states and that FDR appeared on TV in 1929 and that those remarks aren't merely gaffs as a result of the intense, non-stop pressure of a national campaign. You’ve never had a “brain fart”?

I've heard of them but they've had more than their fair share and I expect a bit more from those currently seeking the highest office in the land. I don't really want the leader of the free world to be opening his yap and having daily brain farts. We had enough of that with W. and O. is making him look like he was a valedictorian of a public speaking university. If you're gonna run for president, if you have a brain fart, it's best you shut up. xDalan smithee wrote:

And my comment wasn't about you posting it and more about why it is even a news story seeing as they had to go dig it up in the archives. It's not like it even has her in a gaff at all.

I posted it because it’s funny and more batshit than her Aids comment (which I do think is too easy to misconstrue). The fact that it’s an 11 year old clip of her confessing to something she did as a teenager is irrelevant. Everything she or anyone who wants to be a public figure said at anytime in their life is fair game.

^^^^It is fair game, but I am still waiting for the point behind it. She confessed to something 11 years ago that she did over a decade before that? So she did something over 20 years ago. I am still waiting for the point of it. Maybe a politician wetting the bed at age seven is fair game but I'd still like to know the relevance it has now.

The relevance is the negative impression it could have on many potential voters. It doesn't matter if their negative impression is correct or not.

Well if that's the only relevance it has, than it's just propaganda.alan smithee wrote:The relevance is the negative impression it could have on many potential voters. It doesn't matter if their negative impression is correct or not.

I did not concede that it's relevant. I said IF that's the extent of it's relevance. I made no concessions with that comment, merely showing that at best, it's propaganda. Nothing I said conceded any relevance of her old claims to the election whatsoever.alan smithee wrote:Thanks for conceding that it’s relevant.

Propaganda or not, if you can't acknowledge that things like that will have a negative impact on her campaign, you're being naive. It will cost her votes. That's relevant whether you are willing to admit it or not. Calling it "only propaganda" is irrelevant.

And besides:
prop·a·gan·da [prop-uh-gan-duh]

1. information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.
2. the deliberate spreading of such information, rumors, etc.
3. the particular doctrines or principles propagated by an organization or movement.
You've just described all political advertising.

I never said it wouldn't have a negative impact. I am attacking the arguments of why it should. Saying that it's relevant only because it has a negative impact on her campaign is basically conceding that it doesn't make her less qualified, it's just something to fool a gullible population. Maybe it will work but it only validates O'Donnell more if people have to pull up things with no genuine bearing on the current situation in order to trick people into not voting for her.alan smithee wrote:

So again I ask, beyond fooling a gullible population, what purpose is her witchcraft comments? Just to fool people into not voting for her? Guess they got nothing truly relevant to her qualifications.

Because bedwetting as a child doesn't call a person's intellect into question. I suspect you'll argue that her witchcraft period happened long ago and who doesn't do silly things as a teenager. Perhaps. Perhaps it was just the tip of the ice berg. From 2007 in opposition to stem cell research, “"They are -- they are doing that here in the United States. American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains. So they're already into this experiment."

So? It could be relevant to a gullible population. Anything can be. But in terms of this election, it's about equally as relevant as her witchcraft comments in terms of their relevance to her candidacy.alan smithee wrote:Because bedwetting as a child doesn't call a person's intellect into question.
