Christine O'Donnell: Nancy Pelosi Is Not a TRUE Christian
Edited on Thu Sep-23-10 05:44 PM by Segami
Oh ya right! Christine ( the Witch ) O'Donnell has set the " TRUE CHRISTIANS " standard template for us all to follow and live by. The GOTea Party is invoking the ' I got dimples idiot candidate ' strategy.

<>



"...The tea party candidate accuses her foes of personal attacks, yet in 2007 she said Pelosi was a faux Christian. What could be more personal?


Is Christine O'Donnell now complaining about the sort of attacks she once hurled?


On Tuesday night, the Delaware Republican Senate candidate and tea party star appeared on—where else?—Fox News and denounced her foes for relying on personal atacks to discredit her. Referring to Democratic criticism of O'Donnell, Fox host Sean Hannity asked, "Do you think this is an attack on religion? On your religious beliefs?" O'Donnell replied, "They're trying to paint me as an extremist, so that people won't pay attention to my message.":rofl: (what message? )


During the segment, she also groused, "They're attacking me personally…They're not attacking me on my positions. They're trying to attack me." :rofl: ( What positions? )


But O'Donnell is no stranger to launching personal attacks. Three years ago, she appeared on—where else?—Fox News and assailed the religious views (and the morality) of a prominent politician: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.


On January 25, 2007, O'Donnell, then the president of an outfit called the Faith and Flag Alliance, was a guest on the The O'Reilly Factor, according to a transcript of the show (which is not posted on the internet). The subject was supposed Christianity-bashing, and Bill O'Reilly had pegged the segment to the release of an HBO documentary on militant Christians. The film had been made by Alexandra Pelosi, a daughter of Nancy Pelosi. O'Reilly noted that he had "nothing against" Pelosi's film, but he decried what he considered to be the mainstream media's marginalization of Christians. He asked O'Donnell about the media's exploitation of the "weird behavior" of militant Christians to undermine all Christians.



O'Donnell replied by questioning Nancy Pelosi's faith:


First, let me say that Nancy Pelosi has—can benefit from making Christians look bad because she touts her Christianity when it's politically expedient for her, yet she doesn't follow any of the Christian moral principles.




O'Reilly interrupted O'Donnell to say, "I don't think that's fair…I don't think you should be judging Nancy Pelosi." But O'Donnell went on to criticize Pelosi for claiming that "she's a Catholic woman whose Catholicism shapes her policy." O'Donnell maintained that the House speaker was not truly a Catholic:



What I want to point out is that Christianity is not a set of beliefs that you can pick and choose from. It's not a smorgasbord; it's not a buffet. You either embrace it all and represent it all, or embrace a worldview that says you can do whatever you want.

3. What's odd is that I thought Nancy Pelosi was Jewish
BTW all the Catholics I've met in Wilmington are gaga for Coons. I live in the area where they have the yearly Italian Festival run by the local Catholic church and the houses are all with Coons signs.

Ironically this is the same neighborhood where Christine O'Donnell use to live. I wonder what her attendence was at St. Anthony's? They hardly ever mention her and yet they welcome Joe Biden each time he comes by.

6. Damn I wish my every word was repeated on MSM
I would say over and over and tell why republicans are not, were never, and can't be Christians. For a bunch of people who have constantly denied and blocked everything that has tried to be done for the poor and needy of this country, gee What would Jesus say about them. Any true Christian would know.

14. Amen to that! I believe your sentiments, simply put,
has become a primary irk & rub with most, if not all Democrats. It time, the perception of some is that such lies must have a hint of truth to it since the airwaves are scarce or void of any loud and continued push-back from Democrats against such false claims or attacks. These so called crack-pots along with their lies & distortions ( aided by FAUX TV ) are beginning to resonate with the electorate. How have we allowed them to dictate & distort the national discussion when the former Bush administration's policies along with the Republican Party actions have NOT been held accountable to date ( in any real sense ) for thrusting this nation into our current decayed state?

8. I think the question is
if Christine O'Donnell and the other tea baggers are "true christians", why would anyone want to be a "christian"?

11. Nor is she a witch. If she were,
by now she'd resemble Wile E. Coyote near the end of a cartoon.

So, have at her, Christians. Just don't foist her off on us.

13. This should be off limits. No one has a right to questions someoneelses relationship to god. We
all pray in different ways. Lets see its proven that O'Cracker is a crook. You see a sinner is in the eye of the beholder.
