Catholic Church Issues Guide on How to Convert Witches
By Theunis Bates - AOL NewsLONDON -- Five hundred years ago, the Catholic Church had a simple way of dealing with witches: It burned them alive. The Vatican still views these broom botherers as a danger, but is now calling on Catholics to eliminate the neo-pagan problem in a more moderate manner. According to a new booklet from the Catholic Truth Society -- the U.K. publishers for the Holy See -- the faithful can convert Wiccans by following a few simple steps. The pamphlet, titled "Wicca and Witchcraft: Understanding the Dangers," suggests that Catholics spark up conversations with these unbelievers about shared ...
Following Sarah Palin's Model, Christine O'Donnell Heads to 'The Tonight Show'
By Dave Thier - AOL News(Nov. 8) -- If you thought you'd seen the last of Christine O'Donnell, you don't know Christine O'Donnell. Less than a week after her defeat in the Delaware senatorial election, she'll be appearing on Jay Leno's "The Tonight Show," where she will presumably discuss her tea-party-fueled propulsion onto the national stage. Despite losing by 17 percentage points in the polls to Democrat Chris Coons, O'Donnell was the most widely covered candidate in the entire 2010 senatorial season, making headlines with noteworthy gaffes/just plain weirdness like her anti-masturbation stance, her insistence ...
Karl Rove Slams Palin for President
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Oct. 28) -- Tell us how you really feel about her, Karl. In an interview with the British newspaper The Telegraph, Karl Rove, President George W. Bush's so-called "brain," offered a few thoughts about Sarah Palin. Essentially, Rove argues that Palin, who left office midway through her first term in office as governor of Alaska, doesn't have what it takes to be elected president. Surveying the prospective field of candidates, Rove told the Telegraph, "You can make a plausible case for any of them on paper, but it is not going to be paper in 2011. It's going to be blood, it's going to be ...
What Is Christine O'Donnell's Religion?
By Elizabeth Nolan Brown - Politics DailyConservative advocate, political commentator and marketing consultant Christine O'Donnell is running as the Republican candidate for Delaware's 2010 U.S. Senate special election against Democrat Chris Coons. The contest has been one of the most-watched congressional races of the 2010 election season, in large part due to O'Donnell's tea party affiliation, her colorful (and disputed) record, and her attention-garnering statements. As part of a Politics Daily series providing background about the major candidates in 2010, here are some answers to frequently asked questions about O'Donnell's ...
Christine O'Donnell Debates Chris Coons [LIVE STREAM]
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 13) -- Christine O'Donnell, the Republican nominee for Senate in the state of Delaware, goes up against her Democratic rival, Chris Coons, in the first debate of the race so far. Tea party candidate O'Donnell has fallen behind Coons by as much as 16 points, according to recent polls, after a series of video clips featuring the Republican portrayed her in a less-than-favorable light. Most notably, O'Donnell's admissions of past dalliances in the world of witchcraft led the candidate to release an attention-grabbing ad in which she declared "I'm not a witch." Whether the topic of black ...

The Weird Impact of Christine O'Donnell's 'I'm Not a Witch' Ad
By not in system - AOL News
(Oct. 5) -- Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell released a campaign ad today in an effort to recast herself as a mainstream politician. "I'm not a witch" begins the Republican's 30-second spot. "I'm you." Following a string of electoral setbacks, O'Donnell's fighting an uphill battle. Will this help boost her image? The Ad Is Brilliant, writes writes Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic: "Conventional wisdom about denials in ads is true in most cases. It wouldn't be good for David Vitter to deny that he visited prostitutes, or for Charles Rangel to deny on camera that he abused power. ...
Christine O'Donnell: 'I'm Not a Witch'
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 4) -- Rest assured, it is a line that has never before been spoken in a modern American political campaign. In a new ad, Delaware Republican senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell begins her address to viewers by assuring them that she is not -- despite her admission in the late 1990s to talk show host Bill Maher that she had "dabbled into witchcraft" -- an actual witch. "I'm not a witch," a bemused O'Donnell says, looking into the camera. "I'm nothing you've heard. I'm you." O'Donnell's attempt to distance herself from her past by directly confronting the controversy in an ad ...
Christine O'Donnell Oxford University Mystery Solved (Sort Of)
By David Knowles - AOL News(Sept. 28)--Is it a case of simple resume padding, an innocent error, or something worse? A couple of weeks ago, Surge Desk writers Carl Franzen and Lance Gould noticed something odd about the LinkedIn page of GOP senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell. The Tea Party candidate had, under a heading describing her education, listed University of Oxford as one of the places she had taken a course titled "Post Modernism in the New Millennium." But after making calls to Oxford officials, Surge Desk could not find any evidence of a course by that name ever having been offered by the esteemed ...
