Christine O'Donnell's 1996 Anti-Masturbation Campaign On MTV's 'Sex In The 90s'

Quote:
Christine O'Donnell won the Republican nomination for senator in Delaware tonight, and Rachel Maddow wasted no time showing the footage she obtained of O'Donnell's 1996 appearance on MTV's "Sex In The 90s" TV show.

O'Donnell, it seems, is opposed to masturbation, and considers looking at pornography akin to adultery. And back in the 90s, though the hair was different and Joan Osborne's 90's mainstay "One Of Us" played in the background, O'Donnell maintained a similar stance:


This is a real "reach" for her to make Delaware even less fun than it already is! Exclamation

Where's igotthisguitar when you need him?

Quote:
WASHINGTON � Another unfavorable decade-old television clip of tea party favorite Christine O'Donnell has emerged, this time with the Delaware GOP Senate candidate saying she "dabbled in witchcraft."


Quote:
"... One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn't know it. I mean, there's little blood there and stuff like that," she said. "We went to a movie and then had a little midnight picnic on a satanic altar."



Dollars to donuts, these "Satanists" were of the self-styled Anton LaVey variety, if even that serious. Still, probably not an overall plus for a right-wing Christian Republican to have this issue come up.

I'd bet that Satan supports or even practices Onanism.

Republicans don't know who they are or what their interests are. They are flapping in the wind.

Since when is a little frolic on a satanic altar or mental illness such a big deal as to exclude someone from the senate? To the teabaggers its enough that she is white.

she was a tea party candidate. They started off basically a fiscally focused group but by supporting candidates that are social conservatives, they are basically a fringe far right group. we don't any more groups to the fringe of either party.

Calling it onanism is sorta incorrect. Onan was trying to deny his dead brother an heir and the lack of a child would put his sister-in-law out on the street, so he consented to intercourse and then pulled out.

Still, there are lots of people who make the arguement that masturbation is selfish and harmful to intimate relationships. That probably won't keep those people from voting for this woman. It would be foolish of her opponent to harp on this issue when she has plenty of real character defects and some evidence of money issues and tax problems.[/img]

"Onanism" has two meanings:
    1) coitus interruptus; and
    2) masturbation

I used it in its second sense to respect some people's sensibilities.
