Christine O'Donnell calls Chris Coons a Marxist in Delaware Senate debate

[Octafish]

"I am not now, nor have I ever been, anything but a clean-shaven capitalist," Coons responds.

O'Donnell had turned the talk to Marxism after dodging a question about whether she believes, as she told Maher in 1998, that evolution is a myth. She said her beliefs are irrelevant because it should be up to local schools to decide how to teach evolution and creationism. "I would argue that there are more people who support my Catholic faith than his Marxist beliefs," she added.

Like the Quitta from Wassilla, the anti-masturbation crusading satan worshipper has an amazing ability to avoid accountability for anything.

1. She sure has a lot of nerve, and no conscience - but I hated Coons' answer. nt

[sharp_stick]

3. What was wrong with his answer? n/t

[polichick]

4. Reminds me of the way Republicans exchange "capitalism" for "democracy." nt

[sharp_stick]

2. I would like to bet $5,000

that O'Donnell can't without the aid of a computer tell me or anyone else what Marxism is? I'll take any answer that correctly adds to "it was "invented" by Karl Marx"

[KansDem]

8. ..."it was "invented" by Karl Marx"

How do you know she wouldn't say "Groucho?"

[sharp_stick]

15. You're probably right

but I wouldn't put $5,000 on the line for that. :-)

16. I think that's what all Tea Party people think, actually.

[zonkers]

5. I get why Coons was calm and measured overall but he really should have shut her BS down.

He would've been a hero. His marxist reply was definitely soft.

6. I don't buy her insinuation Catholics are on the teach the controversy

in Science class side. Catholics as far as I know are much more willing to accept science than she suggests.

[KansDem]

7. Hey, Christine! Haven't you heard? The "commies" aren't our "enemies" anymore!

The last refuge of the desperate American Conservative: call you political foe a "commie."

It worked for McCarthy but that was some 55 years ago.

Such desperation!

11. Didn't she also speak of finishing the fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan?

I heard that, maybe I dreamt it. I certainly didn't watch the debate. They broadcast it on our local public broadcasting station because, although "Channel 12" is in Philadelphia, it, like many PA not for profit corporations, is incorporated in Delaware. (Something about taxes, I think.) How's that for a sense of self-worth, Philly? We get to hear about public affairs on our public tv station....but nothing about Pennsylvania, let alone Philadelphia, just Delaware.
Why is this dim bulb getting so much coverage? Oh, nevermind. The better to distract us from real issues and real information.

13. "When we were fighting the Russians in Afghanistan"

That's my recollection of what she said. Could be wrong. That was a jaw-dropping part of an incredible "debate."

[ThomWV]

9. That was just a small fraction of the mindless bullshit she was spewing.

[BootinUp]

10. It was mildly humorous watching Coons

deal with it. I thought he did pretty good. All but the hardcores and idiots thought so too I believe.

[elehhhhna]

12. The answer to that is : "Define Marxist." Voila! The end.

[polichick]

18. That would've been great! nt

[opihimoimoi]

14. KnR she is a grifter sucking up fame and fortune....fuck logic, reason, patriotism, and everything

NICE

OOpps

[Froward69]

17. One has to actually READ Marx, to call someone else Marxist.

Ok I can't resist... bad sexist Joke coming...

"Why did Christine O'Donnell stop wearing Panties?"


"To Grip her Broomstick better!"
:rofl:

BTW I am not one of her... I have a grasp on real issues, I'm not a political shill and I care about the plight of my fellow countrymen.
