Christine O'Donnell's national 'cure the gays' tour ends very, very badly (The Maddow Blog)
By Rachel Maddow
Fri Sep 17, 2010
Before becoming a full-time candidate, Christine O'Donnell crusaded as a religious right activist, including a national tour proclaiming that homosexuality was curable. Living then in Los Angeles, O'Donnell hired a young spokesman for her organization, The Savior's Alliance for Lifting the Truth (SALT).
That young spokesman, Wade Richards, had supposedly been cured of his homosexuality through a sort of evangelical boot camp. Soon after touring the country with O'Donnell, he came (back) out of the closet.

Whenever Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly appear together, it doesn’t take long to find an issue on which they disagree (for example, O’Reilly is not overly concerned about the biblical vermin invading the White House). On last night’s Beck “casual Friday” appearance on The O’Reilly Factor, they delivered their classic banter, this time on why Beck thinks he is not the leader of the Tea Party movement nor Barack Obama the leader of America.
O’Reilly names Beck, along with Sarah Palin, as leaders of the Tea Party movement in his new book, Pinheads and Patriots. Beck first takes issue with calling famous left-wing donation machine and conservative Bogeyman George Soros a “pinhead” (“if Soros is in it,” Beck offers, best to “rename it Angels and Demons”). “You and I are in simpatico on this one,” O’Reilly offers hopelessly, trying to explain the issue is one of semantics. Then Beck reads an excerpt from the book referring to him, and objects to the label “Tea Party leader”– “I’m not leading it.”

Obama Thinks Tea Partiers Worried About the National Debt Should Be Mad at Bush, Old People (New York Magazine)

And so the challenge, I think, for the tea-party movement, is to identify specifically, 'What would you do?'" — Barack Obama in a town hall meeting telecast on CNBC, Sept. 20, 2010Click HERE to Keep Reading!
VIDEO: Christine O'Donnell VS. Al Franken In 1997: Sex, Condoms And Hypocrisy (TalkingPointsMemo.com)
Image via WikipediaBy Rachel SlajdaSeptember 19, 2010
During one of her many appearances on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher in the '90s, Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell (R-DE) sparred with now-Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) over sex, condoms and hypocrisy.
The first topic: A provision in then-President Bill Clinton's welfare reform bill that would fund sex ed, but only if the curriculum taught that extra-marital sex "will have harmful physical and psychological effects."
O'Donnell, who in May 1997 was the director of pro-abstinence SALT, argues that abstinence-only education was the only way to protect kids from HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, because "condoms don't work. Condoms fail."
Franken responds, "I think hypocrisy will have harmful psychological and physical effects. Don't you?"
And don't miss Star Parker asking, "Where's the condom for your heart?"
