LINCOLN, Del. — Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell is making light of comments she made more than a decade ago about having dabbled in witchcraft.

During an appearance Sunday at a GOP picnic in southern Delaware, O'Donnell said she was in high school when she dabbled in witchcraft. She asked the audience: "How many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school?"

O'Donnell, a conservative Christian activist, won the GOP Senate primary last week with the help of tea party supporters. Her comments about witchcraft were made during an episode of comedian Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect" show.

1. the comment was light to begin with

it was on a comedy show and she was laughing and everyone around her was laughing.

2. Really what sort of a coven would have her?

She'd at least cut the coven IQ in half if not more.

4. Doubt she could handle everything witches have to learn

I don't think she'd make it to the initiation.

3. Hell, they're still hanging out with questionable folks n/t

5. "questionable folks" BARF!!!

trying to sound a little populist there I guess. She was a total nOOb at "witchcraft" from what I've heard her say, and she should've just stfu about her stupid past months ago.

6. Oh I seriously doubt the veracity of anything this woman says

"Dabbled in witchcraft" Uh-huh, sure you did.

7. If a Dem made those kinds of remarks?

Oh my, the screaming. :eyes:

8. Did she cast Wingardium Leviosa with a proper swish and flick to make it lighter?

9. I think the people she hangs out with now are more

dangerous than some high school witches.

10. She probably meant she dressed up for Halloween and went trick-or-treating.

She also worshiped Satan, meaning she opened a High School Biology textbook that mentioned evolution.

11. I watched the clip and didn't hear it was during highschool

12. Any way you slice it, she's a far right fundamentalist nut. nt

13. Excuse me! I did NOT hang out with witches in high school...

I saved that for college and made some of the best friends one could ever have. ;)
