Some of you will recall that I predicted an immediate campaign to destroy Christine O’Donnell through the politics of personal destruction. However, I really think they have over-reached so far that an enormous backlash is coming. Christine O’Donnell has handled this brilliantly, by laughing at the allegation. Democrats have been desperate to destroy Christine O’Donnell, just like they remain desperate to destroy Sarah Palin. Sadly, they were helped on their way by Karl Rove. The most recent attempt is by Bill Maher, who has a video clip where O’Donnell talks about going on a date with a Satan worshiper, while she was in High School. But, Maher’s big demand is that O’Donnell come back on his show with him. In other words, he is desperate for ratings!
The real story here is how the main stream media, which totally ignored serious problems with Obama’s personal history, is obsessed with Sarah Palin and Christine O’Donnell. Which is really important? The fact that while in high school Christine O’Donnell apparently dated a fellow high school student who did some weird stuff regarding Satan worship, or Obama who was allegedly mentored by a card-carrying communist? Which should cause us more concern about a person’s character, a public statement by Christine O’Donnell saying that living in sexual purity is a good thing, or Barack Obama admitting the enthusiastic abuse of alcohol and drugs, including cocaine? While is more of a threat to our freedom, a Christine O’Donnell who hangs around with Christian fundamentalists, or her opponent who wrote an article in college entitled “The Making of a Bearded Marxist?” Is she more of a threat than a Barack Obama who is best friends with William Ayers, a man who literally bombed the Pentagon and a man who expresses extreme hatred for the United States.
Today, Maureen O’Down devoted her entire column to a snarky attack on Christine O’Donnell. Here is the link, if you want to read this dribble for yourself:

Yet I cannot recall a single column in the main stream media expressing the slightest concerns about what Obama believes. Instead the media is stunned to learn that many Americans believe he is a Muslim and more than half question whether he is even a Christian. No one in the main stream media apparently read Obama’s poem written while he was at Columbia. It is titled “Pops” and apparently describes his relationship with Frank Marshall Davis. I suspect a qualified psychologist with experience in childhood sexual abuse would read this poem with horror.
No one seems to care that he still has not produced his birth certificate and has never provided a single college transcript from Occidental, Columbia or Harvard. No one wonders why there is a video recording of him singing the Muslim call to prayer and saying that this was the most beautiful sound in the world. No one seems to care that he bought his house with direct financial aid from Tony Rezko, who is currently in prison for bribing public officials. No one seems to care that Barack Obama may have several social security numbers. No one seems to care that his education may have been financed by a Saudi Prince closely connected with the Wahhabi branch of Islam. No one seems to care that his high touted autobiographies may have been written by William Ayers. No one seems to care that he refers to the mother who abandoned him when he was a teenagers as “the dominant figure in my formative years…the values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics.” They are unconcerned that she was a left-wing radical atheist. No one questioned why she met Obama’s father in a Russian language class at the University of Hawaii. How many people do you know, who are not communists, who wanted to study Russian in 1960 and 1961? The media does not consider it important to know that his father, the man Obama gave him the ideals upon which he organized his life, wrote an article in 1965 recommending 100% taxation, communal farms with the elimination of private farming, the nationalization of businesses owned by Europeans and Asians and active measure to bring about a classless society.
No one in the media thought it worth mentioning the allegation that Obama steered millions of dollars to the radical educational programs run by William Ayers. No one cares that he may have also steered money to worthless projects that made people like Tony Rezko wealthy. No one cares that it is alleged that he belonged to Man’s Country, apparently a notorious gay bath house in Chicago. No, none of this matters. What really matters is that Christine O’Donnell is a vocal advocate of Christianity. Now there is a real threat to the union.
We should be outraged, not because someone is checking out Christine O’Donnell, but rather that simultaneous they absolutely refuse to check out any liberal Democrat. If we continue to allow the liberal left to practice the politics of personal destruction, with no restraints at all with regard to people like Palin and O’Donnell, yet let them give a pass to people like Obama, Geither, Dodd, Rangle, Franks, Waters, Pelosi and Reid, then we are doomed.
One final note. If O’Donnell really was involved in witchcraft, the main stream media would applaud that as freedom of expression. The only reason they mention this silly episode is that they are praying it will convince Christians to turn away from her, so that they can elect another hard-core left wing radical to the United States Senate.
