O'Donnell said China plotting to take over US

WASHINGTON — Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell of Delaware said in a 2006 debate that China was plotting to take over America and claimed to have classified information about the country that she couldn't divulge.

O'Donnell's comments came as she and two other Republican candidates debated U.S. policy on China during Delaware's 2006 Senate primary, which O'Donnell ultimately lost.

She said China had a "carefully thought out and strategic plan to take over America" and accused one opponent of appeasement for suggesting that the two countries were economically dependent and should find a way to be allies.

"That doesn't work," she said. "There's much I want to say. I wish I wasn't privy to some of the classified information that I am privy to."

"A country that forces women to have abortions and mandates that you can only have one child and will not allow you the freedom to read the Bible, you think they can be our friend?" she asked. "We have to look at our history and realize that if they pretend to be our friend it's because they've got something up their sleeve."

1. Ahhh, 'The Yellow Peril' has returned.

Another round of that will certainly be helpful, I'm sure. :eyes:

[sarge43]

28. Too many Flash Gordon movies. n/t

[jaxx]

2. I wonder if she can see China from her house.

:evilgrin:

[Blue_Tires]

31. she forgot to shout out:

"RED CHINA HAS NUCLEAR MISSLES AIMED AT MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW!!!"

[Yavapai]

32. No, but she can see the great wal*of china Mart from there.

[dave29]

3. FoxNews is not classified information

although I wish it was redacted more often

[Xipe Totec]

19. FoxNews is not classified AS information nt

[WheelWalker]

26. +1

[mod mom]

4. She was passed classified material- really? Someone should call her out on this

and since it is unlawful to pass on classified material to an unauthorized person, ask her to name names.

[MattyGroves]

12. Sounds like whoever wrote the article is doing some follow-up attempts

From the article: O'Donnell's campaign didn't immediately respond to questions about the comments.

No surprise there.

[Joe Bacon]

36. She DID get the secret Chinese plans!

...Yes she found out about the secret plans to expand PF Chang's menu! :rofl:

[mikeytherat]

48. Once she discovered there is no beef in Moo Goo Gai Pan, there was no stopping her!

[Arrowhead2k1]

5. How the heck would she have had access to classified information is the real question. nt

[Roland99]

8. Because she's a lying liar

[onecent]

11. Ah, excellent point Arrowhead... Someone needs to tell her

the aliens are already here and Satan has been present now for ten years ago.

[karynnj]

20. Well, she could add another line to her delusional, but still sparse biography

Although I know just would be posted here if she claimed to have worked for a US intelligence agency - but it was secret.

Not to mention, if that were true (which it isn't), wouldn't she be violating National Security for disclosing it?

[MattyGroves]

6. One should ask her about a country that would force women to deliver babies

that are the result of rape or incest because that seems to be her's and a number of other teabagger's preference.

Also, I can't think of any non-profits or for-profits that would give a non-employee classifed information.

No surprise that her office won't comment as I'm pretty sure the information is as fake as most eveything else that deals with her background.

[LunaSea]

7. Bet she fell asleep with the TV on ....

9. Already making her mark in he diplomatic arena

She'd precipitate an international incident in two days if elected to office. Thank goddess that will never happen.

[Codeine]

10. That silly bint doesn't have access to the classified ads.

"I can see Beijing from my house!"

[bowens43]

13. This woman is mind-numbingly stupid.

where do the cons dig up these idiots? Seems to me , that lately, ignorance is a requirement for republican candidates....

[CatholicEdHead]

14. They already have the advantage over us economically

And can call in their debt at any time. It will not happen as they still make too much money off us already and it is too sweet a deal.

[onehandle]

15. China is a financial threat and will be the only superpower one day, but what she said is bull. nt

[bossy22]

24. did you get that from your crystal ball?

[Amaril]

16. Will they be using the rats with human brains? n/t

[Dakota Flint]

29. Oh no we're behind!!!

If we only have mice with human brains and China has rats with human brains and since rats are larger then mice, that can only mean one thing......we have a brain size gap folks! We immediately need to start a rat race to catch up! Perhaps 200 or 300 trillion can be thrown to the Pentagon so we can close this major threat to our national security or at the least make a couple of nice new ribbons for our generals and admirals to wear on their spiffy uniforms

We have to immediately cut all taxes on the rich and stop funding education and other non-essential government program! Programs such as social security, medicare, and other wasteful government spending that only goes to the unworthy poor and middle classes! We must do this immediately so we can close this dire "Rat Brain Gap" before it's too late and we lose our freedoms to the Chinese, who will undoubtedly force us to speak Swedish and wear Argentinean gaucho hats. :yoiks:

[Amaril]

33. Ok, now I'm scared.

:scared:

I didn't realize our brained rodents are just mice........what freaking good are those?
Did nobody watch Pinky and The Brain?? Were they EVER successful in taking over the world?? Think, people, think!



ps....Argentinean gaucho hats wouldn't be bad. I kinda like those.

[NickB79]

17. Then support laws stopping the outsourcing of our jobs to them

You know, like the law just shot down by your fellow GOP'ers that would have penalized companies that did just that.

Oh wait, that would upset your corporate handlers. Well, never mind then.

[Dappleganger]

18. Now we know who's been feeding Sarah Palin her daily news.

[Warren Stupidity]

21. On what basis is she receiving classified information?

not that it matters as what she said is total bullshit.

[Turborama]

22. So, the "Muslims are going to turn America into an Islamic state" thing has run out of steam

and they're moving onto this "enemy" for the Fear Factor they need to survive, are they?

[Buns_of_Fire]

23. Krazy Kristine: The Gift That Keeps On Giving.

Isn't Bill Maher scheduled to release another segment of The Christine Story today?

[Wickerman]

25. Do you suppose she understands "Classified" is an official government term

for data, info, other material that requires a clearance? Or, do she just know some rumor shit from some whackjob missionary group and calls it "classified" cuz if sounds cool?

Ding! Option 2, I'm sure.

[Botany]

27. This goes to prove the case if you don't get some sort of sexual release ....

.... the crazy just backs up all the way to the brain.

[PfcHammer]

41. O'Donnell in '06: China plotting "take over" of U.S.

Source: salon.com (10/4/10)

Christine O’Donnell has already been embroiled in controversies over witchcraft, resume embellishment, and even masturbation, and now there's news that just four years ago she warned of a supposed Chinese government plot to "take over" the United States.

The statement came during Republican Senate primary debate in Delaware in 2006, when O'Donnell was waging a longshot bid for the right to challenge Democratic Sen. Tom Carper. During the debate, she announced that she was "privy" to information on a "carefully thought out and strategic plan to take over America," citing missionary groups as the source of her "classified information."

O’Donnell went on to imply that China had "something up their sleeve," and that all attempts by the Chinese government to befriend the United States were to not be trusted.

She added: "A country that forces women to have abortions and mandates that you can only have one child and will not allow you the freedom to read the Bible, you think they can be our friend?"

In that three-way '06 GOP primary, O'Donnell finished a distant third with just 17 percent (or 2,505 votes). The primary winner, Jan Ting, went on to lose to Carper by 42 points.

The witches? The Buddhists? God? Which voices in her head gave her this top secret info?

[SoapBox]

43. Simply frack'n CRAZY.

[me b zola]

44. I think that this should be investigated

O'Donnell has publicly alleged that she--herself--has illegally received classified information.

[Javaman]

49. First she wanted to save the nation from hairy palms disease...

next she has access to secret plans of a chinese take over.

Hmmm...

what's next?

Hearing voices that tell her she's doing gods work? Oh wait.

[truthisfreedom]

47. Naw, the Muslins are going to tarp over.

Wow, she's totally nuts.

[frontrange]

50. No need for a plot. China already owns the United States!

You don't need "classified information" or "top secret clearance" to see that China already owns the United States!
