Christine O'Donnell Supporters Decry Debate Coverage
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Oct. 20) -- What did she say, and what did she mean? In the wake of tea party candidate Christine O'Donnell's comments on the First Amendment in a debate with her Democratic rival, Chris Coons, numerous media outlets (including this one) ran stories about O'Donnell's apparent lack of knowledge about the establishment clause of the First Amendment. Very quickly, however, other media sources, such as Rush Limbaugh, forcefully argued that O'Donnell was correct in that the literal words "separation of church and state" do not appear in the U.S. Constitution. "What she was talking about was ...
O'Donnell's Constitution Question Floors Audience
By David Knowles - AOL News

After scolding Coons for his lack of knowledge of constitutional law for stating that intelligent design should not be taught in public schools (a matter decided in a scathing decision in the case of Kitzmiller v. Dover School District), O'Donnell challenged her rival on his ...

'Bearded Marxist' or 'Clean-Shaven Capitalist'? Read Chris Coons' Article
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Oct. 14) -- No matter how hard he tried during Wednesday evening's debate, Delaware's Democratic Senate nominee Chris Coons couldn't convince his tea party opponent Christine O'Donnell that he is not a Marxist.

Coons explained that the article -- titled "Chris Coons: The Making of a ...

By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Oct. 14) -- Christine O'Donnell and Chris Coons -- also respectively known to each other as "The Witch" and "The Bearded Marxist" -- faced off Wednesday night in a nationally televised debate more captivating for its entertainment value than as a tight political race.
