O'Donnell To Hannity: The Media Is Trying To 'Paint Me As An Extremist' (VIDEO)

Take me out to the softball game...

Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell's appearance tonight on Sean Hannity's show comes shortly after she canceled multiple appearances on the Sunday morning shows last weekend. And if O'Donnell was looking to dodge potentially unfriendly media waters, Hannity did not disappoint.

Introducing O'Donnell as the woman "Democrats love to hate," which he called "actually a badge of honor," Hannity and O'Donnell chatted about everything from those "witchcraft" comments ("teenage rebellion"), to her tax issues ("a computer error"), to her anti-masturbation crusade ("my faith has matured").

Hannity asked O'Donnell about some of the attacks against her, which he awkwardly pointed out "seem to evolve a little bit around your religious faith and religious issues. Contraception, condoms and aids, gay pride, masturbation. All which you've heard a lot about. Do you think this is attack on religion?"

"What they're trying to do," O'Donnell replied, "is paint me as an extremist, so that people won't pay attention to my message."

She continued: "What those statements were about is, in my 20s I had a new-found faith. And going on these shows I looked at it as a ministry opportunity. That was what I did in my 20s. But that was a long time ago. My faith has matured."

1. She says that was her in her 20's, but I've yet to hear her denounce anything now.

6. and a real interviewer would have asked her if she still held those postions.

Of course, my suspicion is that Hannity knows the answer would be yes and therefore it would confirm that she is an extremist.
