Christine O’Donnell has announced that she regrets her “I’m not a witch . . . I’m you” ad. Why? Not because it’s divisive. Because people are making fun of it.
Here is the original ad:
O’Donnell’s ad was immediately parodied by Saturday Night Live. While embedding of that video is disabled, you can view it on YouTube.
And then there’s this:
O’Donnell (affectionately abbreviated COD by some), in an interview with CBS News today, expressed her regret for the ad and explained that the point of the ad — in case voters were too slow-witted to puzzle it out on their own — was to “kill” her “dabbled in witchcraft/picnic on a bloody Satanic altar” history.
So, she made an ad declaring that she is not a witch. No, she’s “like you”. In other words, “you” (Americans? Voters?) does not include Wiccans, pagans, or others who practice anything which might be termed witchcraft by Christians.
While O’Donnell struggled to pull her foot from her mouth, the CBS interviewer provided an opportunity for her to shove it back in.
When asked what she planned to be for Halloween, O’Donnell laughed, “I can tell you, I certainly am not going to be a witch.”
“I was thinking about just going as Dorothy,” O’Donnell said. “I killed the witch. There you go.”
“I killed the witch.” How long before we hear of a hate crime against a religious minority perpetrated by someone claiming motivation from O’Donnell’s “I killed the witch”? Three months? Six?
Ms. O’Donnell might wish to start gargling with Lamisil. I hear athlete’s tongue can be pretty nasty.
I really could not understand just why she felt that the witch thing was so damn important in the first place – do those ignorant morons who she’s entertaining their vote believe in witch’s? Almost everything that comes out of this ignorant moron’s mouth, would be worth a good laugh if she wasn’t running for public office!
The Vicar on Is every type of religion bad?It's like this: if a religion actually says "okay, science is valid, whatever follows from that must be okay", then,. . .
