DE-Sen: O'Donnell calls being gay an 'identity
disorder'

post from Daily Kos on 20 September 2010 01:10:47 PM. © Daily Kos

Delaware's Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, Christine O'Donnell, on what it means to be gay:

People are created in God's image. Homosexuality is an identity adopted through societal factors. It's an identity disorder.

And presumably God's image is reserved for people who think and act like Christine O'Donnell.

Who knew that God once "dabbled in witchcraft"?

Here at TPM we're really interested to figure out just what Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-For the Moment) is up to. Normally, a write-in campaign is a desperate move doomed to failure. But a lot of weird stuff has happened this year. So I'm not ruling[...]

Not Even on the Field

Congressional Republicans know that the worst thing that can happen to them over the next six weeks is that Democrats in the House hold a vote separating the extension of the middle income and upper income tax cuts. Either just one vote on extending the[...]

Maybe There Is a God

post from Kmareka.com on 20 September 2010 01:00:52 PM. © Kmareka.com

Doesn’t the Good Book say something about reaping what you sow?

GAINESVILLE, Fla. ? Authorities say security for last weekend’s canceled Quran burning at a central Florida church cost around $200,000. City officials say they expect the church to pay.

Maybe an analogy is shouting fire in a crowded theatre because you want to be photographed next to the fire truck, and you figure that free publicity can be gamed from free speech if you are clever enough.

It will be interested to see how this plays out.

See the ad FOX News is suing Robin Carnahan over,
which she's keeping on the air.

A couple days ago, FOX News contributor Sarah Palin told GOP/Teabagger/Anti-masturbation crusader Christine O'Donnell "speak through FOX News." That's what most GOPers do. FOX is GOP TV.

That same FOX is suing Democratic Senate candidate Robin Carnahan for running this ad. FOX claims Robin has hurt poor, delicate Chris Wallace's feelings. And, even better, in its complaint, FOX claims Robin "compromis[ed] its apparent objectivity." Um, as if.

Today, Robin sent out this statement:

"We're not backing down. We're fighting this lawsuit. And nobody - not Fox News, and certainly not Congressman Blunt - is going to stop my campaign from telling the truth and holding Congressman Blunt accountable for his record. We're going to keep showing this ad on TV and online because we believe Missourians deserve to hear the truth."

The campaign's press release included this, too:

The use of news clips is nothing new in campaign ads. In fact, even Congressman Blunt uses campaign videos that include footage from a variety of cable news networks including Fox News. Fox's unprecedented move, and its past support for Congressman Blunt, has already raised questions about the motives behind the lawsuit. Fox's parent company, News Corp, has given nearly $10,000 to Congressman Blunt's campaign committee.

FOX really upped the ante and made gave this ad even more attention -- so here it is:

Robin isn't backing down. She kept this air on the ad, has it on her site and provided an embed code.

We have an ActBlue page for Robin here. She's fighting Roy Blunt, Karl Rove, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and, now, FOX News.
