The Spectacle Blog
Readers here may remember that I was unimpressed with Christine O’Donnell. Well, forget all that. The nasty account at Gawker featuring some guy’s first-hand account of an alleged semi-sexual encounter with O’Donnell is such a vile infringement on privacy as to make all decent men feel a chivalrous urge to rush to her defense. Nobody deserves such treatment as Gawker gave her.
But you know what else? It also makes me respect O’Donnell more. Forgive me walking up to the fine line of re-infringing on her privacy in order to make my point, but here’s the deal: How many late-30s, single women do you know who, while allegedly drunk, on Halloween, with a guy she is attracted to, would crawl into bed with the guy and, in that drunken condition….. make it clear that she won’t, uh, do the deed? It takes a rare conscience to remain true to one’s stated principles in a situation where it would be most easy to make excuses for failing one’s principles. This isn’t a commentary on her principles, or morals, themselves, but on her sincerity and devotion to them. Christine O’Donnell has been mercilessly mocked for talking so openly for so long about remaining celibate. But according to this guy’s account, she really means it. Not only that, but she then allegedly dated this guy’s friend for a full year and STILL didn’t succumb.
Commitment publicly made, commitment privately honored.
Even as this sleazoid told his tale to embarrass O’Donnell, she emerges with her integrity intact. Integrity is a precious commodity. At least in this instance, if it is a true account, O’Donnell emerges not diminished but enhanced. Bless her heart.
Mike Castle should get over even his legitimate complaints about O’Donnell’s primary campaign. He should surprise everybody this weekend by endorsing her. It would be an act of supreme graciousness on his part. It is a graciousness all people of good will should want to extend to her now.
Here’s hoping she has a good day on Tuesday, and that she doesn’t come out of this election embittered and bereft. And may she always hold fast to her principles, both political and personal. She’s doing pretty well at it so far.

We Tea Party Rebels Play Four Quarters & Support Christine O'Donnell,who plays all four quarters, as well.
It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong woman stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the woman who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends herself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if she fails, at least she fails while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
To Paraphrase TR.
The Tea Party Rebellion Escalates.
Rise Up In Rebellion!
Nobama| 10.30.10 @ 12:28AM
Good post, Tim*. This election is especially sweet because so many incompetent democrat women congresscritters are going to get beat and have to go back home--and so many republican women new-comers will be going to Washington.
Republican ladies will get the last laugh!
TennesseeVolunteer| 10.30.10 @ 7:42AM
Good post Tim!
This quote has held myself and my two grown sons in good stead during trying times.
Christine is beginning to appeal to the innate sense of fairness that people of good heart have.
The Tea Party not only is working for her, so is the Power of Prayer.
God bless you Christina!

O'Donnell's strong faith in God will support and comfort her regardless of the election's outcome.
She's already a winner in my book.
Strong Conservative Christian women like Christine O'Donnell and Sarah Palin are beacons of light in a very dark world. I salute them both!
Linda v| 10.29.10 @ 7:20PM
Who are you kidding, "..strong, conservative, Christian women.."? These two are good at one thing: whoring for whatever they want. In Palin's case it's money. In O'Donnell's it just may be for a job she can hold on to for more then 20 seconds. If it were the Dem's who showed an interest in them, that conservative label would be lost in a heartbeat and their so-called strong values would flip quicker than an iHop pancake.

Occam's Tool| 10.29.10 @ 10:48PM
I'm confused, Tim*. Christine is pro-Israel. True, she's also pro-American, pro-small government and low taxes, etc. But where's your famous venemous rage?
Occam's Tool| 10.29.10 @ 10:49PM
sorry, "venomous."
Nobama| 10.29.10 @ 10:58PM
The only one who sounds venomous is you, Occam's T--and "Libtard Linda" of course.
Occam's Tool| 10.29.10 @ 10:55PM
For example, here is a quote, in context, from her interview with Van Susteren on Fox:
"O'DONNELL: Well, we definitely have to do something. There are several things that we can. First of all, we have to rebuild and repair our relationship with Israel. Israel has traditionally been a strong ally. I don't believe that this administration has been as friendly and supportive to Israel as America could be and as America should be. Israel deserves our respect. They've been an ally. And they're a strong country...
VAN SUSTEREN: You don't think we're giving that to them now?
O'DONNELL: I don't think we've done everything that we can. For one thing, if you remember about a year or so ago, when Israel talked about doing what they needed to do to strengthen them when Iran started making threats, President Obama scolded them. You don't scold one of our allies for doing what they need to do in their own national interest.
So I think that there's a lot that we can do to repair some potentially damaging things that this administration has done with Israel. And I'm not saying this administration isn't a friend of Israel. I'm saying that we can do more because we need Israel. We need to be a friend to Israel and we need to help her be strong once again because when Iran says that, We want to wipe out the West, they mean us. They mean America. And they mean Israel. So we've got a united goal there to be strong again."
Now, I happen to support Christine, because I'm a tea-partier and a Zionist. But what you gonna do, Tim*? The cognitive dissonance dissolve all three of your brain cells yet?
Tim*| 10.29.10 @ 11:42PM

MacAoidh | 10.29.10 @ 7:25PM
Erick Erickson might have been the first to point this out a couple of weeks ago, but we owe Christine O'Donnell a great deal for her having toughed out this race. O'Donnell drew an enormous amount of the legacy media's fire during this campaign and kept coming, and because she did so there are lots of other strong conservatives like Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and to a lesser extent Ken Buck and Joe Miller, who have managed to fly under the radar while avoiding a crucifixion from the left-wing press.
In fact, we're going to need a Christine O'Donnell in every election cycle. We'll need to recruit an attention-grabber to run in a hopeless blue state who can soak up media time for four months and provide cover for a dozen constitutional conservatives running for the Senate or the governor's mansion in winnable purple states.

kaytb| 10.29.10 @ 8:32PM
very interesting take. for all the (undeserved) battle scars she has received, i sure hope she wins. she has earned the seat whether or not she wins the tally for staying not only afloat, but buoyant.
jcp370| 10.29.10 @ 7:32PM
Gee, could you be more condescending? Guess what, we who believed in Christine all along don't need this praise regarding her virginity that will used as adiditional fodder for the leftists to ridicule Ms. O'Donnell If you really want to help, why don't you keep your mouth shut? And try to get the other O'Donnell-bashing writers at this magazine to do so, at least through Tuesday?
I thought this was a conservative magazine when I subscribed but I won't make that mistake come renewal time. There is nothing wrong with criticism but some of writers here have shown a very ugly case of hate against Ms. O'Donnell and I'm sorry, that mode belongs to the liberals.
Quin| 10.29.10 @ 9:58PM
Condescending? I don't know how you could call it condescending for me to so wholeheartedly praise her integrity. Cool down, mate. That said, as I meant no condescension whatsoever, if ANYbody else sees condescension in this blog post, I do apologize. I write not to bury O'Donnell but to praise her.
SoCon| 10.29.10 @ 10:19PM
I liked your post in support of O'Donnell, Quin. Thank you.
I believe any decent man would be sickened by the abusive and ugly treatment she's been subjected to. It's incredibly unfair and painful to watch.

Boston12GS| 10.29.10 @ 7:36PM
MacAoidh has got it exactly right. O'Donnell "won" from the moment she became a magnet for the left's attacks. Every second the LSM spent on attacking her is a second they're not directing their fire at another candidate. If she goes down a crushing electoral defeat, she's still "won" from any pragmatic political perspective. And if she were to actually take the race--well, that'd be a double win.
ggoblue| 10.29.10 @ 7:51PM
don't feel sorry for her...she's going to be the face of the revolution when she wins.
the news of her stunning win coming at 8pm [5pm pacific] will drive thousands of democrats out of the voting lines in california and washington...

Ty| 10.29.10 @ 10:29PM
CO won the Delaware Republican primary. All the RINOs, Rove, NSRC, etc had to do was keep their mouths shut and she would now probably be ahead of Coons. If Rove and his ilk keep on with their irrational, derogatory comments when their candidates do not win, the Republican party will become a thing of the past.
BC| 10.30.10 @ 1:54AM
That is such BS it makes me laugh out loud. You REALLY think CO is down (but closing in now) in the polls because of "RINOs" and Rove and the NRSC? Are you completely delusional?
She's not running in Alabama, ffs. There IS a reason why Mike Castle was said to be a shoo-in; Delaware is a liberal state. Wake up!
Maybe she'll win; I hope (pray!) she does. But I'm not going to be surprised if she doesn't, and I sure won't be blaming Karl Rove and the NRSC for it. Good grief!
*shakes head in disbelief at Delusional Ty*
Beth| 10.30.10 @ 2:14AM
Rove's harsh criticism hurt O'Donnell and I still wonder why he unloaded on her. I thought he was on OUR side.
Rove was on O'Reilly tonight and I noticed he was very restrained when asked about O'Donnell's campaign. About time, Karl!
Stan Redmond| 10.30.10 @ 10:02AM
Rove is a Republican first conservative last. Rove does what Rove needs to do to get republicans in office. His concern for country is far from his concern for winning.
It is a mistake for any of us to look for approval from hardcore DC insiders like Rove for endorsing conservatives. They hate them just as much as the liberals, only in a quieter fashion. I have been on Odonnel's side since the beginning. When I witnesses the venom thrown at her by the bearded Marxist, MSNBCBSABCNPR I knew she was right for the country. How many of those that have mercilessly attempted to destroy this woman could stand up to this kind of pressure? I doubt I could. And there she is, still standing.
That's called courage and integrity.
Tyler| 10.30.10 @ 12:38PM
If Rove was a Republican first he would have gone on that rant BEFORE O'Donnell won the primary not AFTER. That tells me he's Establishment first. The Rove Republicans would rather see Marxists in office than Conservatives if the Conservative beat one of their pets. These types need to be removed from power in the Republican party yesterday.

mark| 10.29.10 @ 11:48PM
When realizing that O'Donnell was getting the Palin treatment, I fired off a donation. Put your money where your keyboard is. There is a point that the excellent article, "The Ruling Class and the Perils of Revolution" was published in the American Spectator. The Republican Party, as the lower ranking "Ruling Class," has its issues. Like the Democrats, it pretends to be one thing while actually doing something else. When was the last time you heard a Republican criticizing ethanol, the fuel for suckers and snake oil salesmen? Pat Caddell doesn't even recognize his party anymore, and I have to appreciate his candor in pointing out how "brain dead" Republicans can be. According to him, they had the opportunity to stop ObamaCare in the Finance Committee when the Democrats balked due to heavy favoritism showed to big PHARMA. Now they pretend to be against it, and talk of "repeal." They assume most of us don't have a clue; facts that I just put forth aren't shown on Fox News, even though I prefer it to the strange alternatives. We have all the ingredients for a Hitler of our age to get/stay in power; much of what is going on is paralled in Hayek's excellent "The Road to Serfdom." The remedy? Possibly the Tea Party, and an informed electorat willing to cast aside the "professionals" guiding us in the wrong direction. Politicians must be kept on a very short leash. Ironic to note that leaders in the Democratic party, Soros, and others are bent on denying people a voice, unless its an opinion they agree with. Many "open-minded" so called "liberals" are finding that out to their dismay. Remember the heavy censorship by the Clintons to "The Path to 9/11?" Juan Williams, and the men involved in producing that film found out exactly who is for freedom of expression.
DaveT| 10.30.10 @ 12:42AM
Christine walks the walk.
I had like, no opinion on her a month ago and thought it was just as well to ignore the situation. Since that time, she has acted as the industrial-grade lightning conductor of liberal panty-bunching for 2010. Wow.
Remember way back when Sharron Angle was the 5th horseperson of the Apocalypse, who had to be stopped by any means necessary? Whichever Republicans win national office next week should send O'Donnell a nice bouquet.
Nobama| 10.30.10 @ 12:52AM
Maybe Christine will be one of those winners, too.
Hope so.

Message from Gawker Media to other women who aspire to political office or another public leadership position:
"Don't get too uppity or this will happen to you, too."
"Especially if you don't wax to our pre-pubescent-fantasy standards."
Everything, everything about that hit piece is revolting, offensive, and hurtful in the extreme. You don't even have to be Christine O'Donnell to feel insulted by it, and I don't recall ever reading anything that made me feel genuinely insulted like this on the internet, ever.
I hope this despicable creep is cursed with a lifetime of involuntary celibacy as penance for it - and Remy Stern and Nick Denton should feel some pain for it as well. Here are Gawker's advertisers, to help that process along:

Oldefarte| 10.30.10 @ 11:52AM
As I've previously stated many, many times........TO ERR IS HUMAN, TO FORGIVE IS DEVINE [or LET HE WHO HAS NOT SINNED CAST THE FIRST STONE]. The crucial point should be, if as the good thief on Calvary confessed to Jesus and received immediate absolution for his sins, does one learn from his/her mistakes and seek to thereafter improve their activities? The truely conservative [and desperately needed politically speaking] David Vitter of Louisiana comes to mind, among others!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobama| 10.30.10 @ 3:18PM
The difference between Vitter and O'Donnell is there was proof that Vitter erred.
This is a Leftist hit-job on O'Donnell, and she has nothing to apologize for. In her case, the accusers should beg for forgivenes.
Oldefarte| 10.31.10 @ 9:40AM
Obviously, you're completely ignorant of the similarities between Vitter and O'Donnell, such as the Democrat [and Republican aided] 'hit jobs' against him [a simple google search will provide ample evidence of same, if wanted or needed]. As to my POINT above, LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE! Another POINT, is that Vitter has been, is, and forever will be an effective conservative political influence and intelligent voice that is extremely needed in congress [not only for his Democratically moronic state but for this nation as a whole]. O'Donnell will most probably be a dying political voice, as the probability of her winning is suspect in her state against Coons. Our needed conservative voices can only be truly effective if/when they become elected and can thereafter actuate their effectiveness in congressional discussions and votes [contrarily, Vitter's current opponent has been in congress for several years and is considered a political lightweight at best, but he's CAJUN FRENCH which is what matters to many imbiciles in that state]!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobama| 10.31.10 @ 4:59PM
It's obvious you missed my point: There's no proof O'Donnell did anything wrong, but Vitter himself admitted he cheated. The two aren't morally comparable, therefore your adage doesn't apply.
Try to keep up, Oldefarte.
Oldefarte| 11.1.10 @ 2:56PM
Nobama: Due to my spending 16 years in Catholic school [including 4 at a Catholic university, with 3 hours of theology and 3 hours of philosophy each semester, for a total of 24 hours], please don't completely demonstrate your asinine ignorance by attempting to lecture me on MORALITY issues [what are your credentials, if any?] !!!!!!!!
Oldefarte| 11.1.10 @ 3:00PM
Nobama: Don't STATE THE OBVIOUS ["...There's no proof O'Donnell did anything wrong, but Vitter himself admitted he cheated..."], since to do so makes you appear totally ignorant, okay????
Nobama| 11.1.10 @ 5:07PM
I'm not lecturing you on your morality, I'm lecturing you on your application of moral equivalency.
You're slipping, old boy.
Oldefarte| 11.2.10 @ 11:48AM
Are you saying that O'Donnell is MORAL while Vitter is AMORAL [by your 'equivalency' proclamation]? Are you therefore also saying that Saint Peter, the good thief of Calvary, St Paul, Billy Graham Jr.,etc are/were also AMORAL [according to the NATURAL LAW]? Have you been present continuously in O'Donnell's entire life span so that you can testify/attest truthfully as to everything she has done or not done in her entire lifetime [and therefore do you know precisely that she has ALWAYS been the devout Christian that she is today]? Are you saying that the political hit jobs upon both O'Donnell and Vitter are not equal in nature?
Nobama| 11.2.10 @ 7:12PM
I'm sayin Vitter is a self-admitted pig and O'Donnell isn't.

Tea Party Patriots Mission Statement and Core Values
Mission Statement
The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.
Core Values
* Fiscal Responsibility
* Constitutionally Limited Government
* Free Markets
Fiscal Responsibility: Fiscal Responsibility by government honors and respects the freedom of the individual to spend the money that is the fruit of their own labor. A constitutionally limited government, designed to protect the blessings of liberty, must be fiscally responsible or it must subject its citizenry to high levels of taxation that unjustly restrict the liberty our Constitution was designed to protect. Such runaway deficit spending as we now see in Washington D.C. compels us to take action as the increasing national debt is a grave threat to our national sovereignty and the personal and economic liberty of future generations.
Constitutionally Limited Government: We, the members of The Tea Party Patriots, are inspired by our founding documents and regard the Constitution of the United States to be the supreme law of the land. We believe that it is possible to know the original intent of the government our founders set forth, and stand in support of that intent. Like the founders, we support states' rights for those powers not expressly stated in the Constitution. As the government is of the people, by the people and for the people, in all other matters we support the personal liberty of the individual, within the rule of law.
Free Markets: A free market is the economic consequence of personal liberty. The founders believed that personal and economic freedom were indivisible, as do we. Our current government's interference distorts the free market and inhibits the pursuit of individual and economic liberty. Therefore, we support a return to the free market principles on which this nation was founded and oppose government intervention into the operations of private business.
Our Philosophy
Tea Party Patriots, Inc. as an organization believes in the Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government, and Free Markets. Tea Party Patriots, Inc. is a non-partisan grassroots organization of individuals united by our core values derived from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America, the Bill Of Rights as explained in the Federalist Papers. We recognize and support the strength of grassroots organization powered by activism and civic responsibility at a local level. We hold that the United States is a republic conceived by its architects as a nation whose people were granted "unalienable rights" by our Creator. Chiefly among these are the rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The Tea Party Patriots stand with our founders, as heirs to the republic, to claim our rights and duties which preserve their legacy and our own. We hold, as did the founders, that there exists an inherent benefit to our country when private property and prosperity are secured by natural law and the rights of the individual.
Margie| 10.31.10 @ 10:49AM
The anti-semites like you are being discovered amongst the TEA partiers and Sarah Palin, Michele Bachman and many, many others are aware of it, and are doing something about it.
You can pretend to be a conservative all you want. Your filthy ilk will NEVER succeed in taking over ANYWHERE.

"You have repeatedly Slandered Dr.Rand Paul,"
How is telling the truth about Rand Paul's affiliation, admiration and affection for Adam, Code-Pink, Anti-War, Anti-Military, Kokesh Slander, eh?
Are you denying any of what I have said?
And the Tea Party Caucus is not Pro-Israel?

First, Slandering Apocalyptic Crank Lady Victor-Margie, you have smeared almost any& every American Freeman, who doesn't march in lockstep with your crazed Israel Firster Apocalyptic Agenda, as Anti-Semites.
Second, Read Dr.Rand Paul's Position Paper on Israel and then Shut Your Neocon NutBag Israel Firster Apocalyptic NutBag Pie Hole.
The Tea Party Rebellion Escalates.
Rise Up In Rebellion!

Can't answer the questions, can you?

Were Miss. O'Donnell to have liberal standards, the Gawker article would have been replete with a photo spread that would make Larry Flynt blush. Long and short is, no liberal woman would have been able to find her panties the next morning, let alone her dignity.
The conservative values that kept Christine's knees together are what angers the left so much! If I may stoop to a somewhat juvenile position for just a moment-most liberal women have to give up a home run to get a guy to spend time with them, due to their looks, or lack thereof(think hillary, huffington, pelosi).
Now, on an adult level, it is simple-the libtards are terrified, because most of the conservatives who won primaries are not machine types who were manufactured, so they are terrified this will spell the end of their communist insurrection.
I would say that on Wednesday, there will be quite a few thousand attorneys out across the country on behalf of the DNC contesting double digit victories, a la, barry's impeachment of his competition for his state seat, and his US Senate seat, and the Franken theft, and their chasing Sarah Palin from public office in AK.
At the end of the day Tuesday, we will have all forgotten this-though it will be funny to listen to the psychotic mutterings of matthews, olberman, schultz, and madcow, about how evil all the conservatives are who won seats, because they don't kill babies, smoke dope, have sex with children, or believe in the unionization of America.
It should be a real scream. And I suspect Christine O'Donnell will have the very last laugh!

I live in Delaware and voted for Christine in the primary. The long knives are out for her because she threatens the communist status quo.
Don't be fooled, win or lose, Christine is the new face of Del. and is loved and supported by many.

Yup, getting drunk and canoodling naked in bed with a guy you just met (a real louse, obviously) makes one a real model of Christian maidenhood.
This woman is not a serious candidate. If she gets over 40% of the vote in Delaware, it's a real testament to the success of the GOP this year.

Prove it, dirtbag. Besides, since when do you NAMBLA loving liberals care about morals?
MacDaddy| 11.1.10 @ 8:46AM
What does your mother have to do with any of this?

You idiots would vote for anyone, no matter how stupid, insane, and unqualified as long as they fly the Tea Party flag. O'Donnell is breathtakingly ignorant. This is a US SENATE seat, not a village schoolboard seat. Do you have any shame? Do you care at all for your country to put half-tards like O'Donnell, Palin, Palandino, Paul on the ballot for important positions? There have to be reasonable, smart people among your ranks to fill these leadership positions instead of moronic lightening rods. Can you find such people before 2012? Please?!?

calling people names like "idiots," "half-tards," and "moronic," especially when they aren't personally known to you, is revealing of an adolescent, arrogant, crude and disgusting slant of mind
Sam| 11.1.10 @ 5:19PM
Thanks for your sage advice, Jimmy; especially since you libtards stole an election and put the brilliant statesman, FREAKING Al Franken in the Senate.
Moronic lightening rods? Senator Frankenstein wrote the book, clown! Please, shut up and go away.
