Christine O'Donnell Clip: "Evolution Is a Myth"
Christine O'Donnell in an appearance on "Politically Correct" from 1998.
/ ABC/YoutubeIn a clip from the Oct. 15, 1998 episode of his old ABC series, "Politically Incorrect," O'Donnell is shown saying "Evolution is a myth."
When Maher challenged her to justify the anti-science statement, O'Donnell says, "Well, then why aren't monkeys still evolving into humans?"
Last week Maher said that he would air more clips of O'Donnell from his old show until she agreed to come onto his HBO series, "Real Time."
"It's like a hostage crisis: Every week you don't show up . . . "
He put the two comments into context: "The stuff from the witch last week was silly - who cares what she did in high school and she dabbled with witchcraft?" he said. "But this is somebody who could be in the Senate, who thinks that mice have human brains, and doesn't understand, 'Oh my God, that monkeys don't evolve in the time it takes to watch them?'"
The clip was later posted on Youtube.
Maher's old show isn't the only one with O'Donnell clips now making their way from the vaults.
A 2003 clip from MSNBCD's "Scarborough Country" features O'Donnell opposing the promotion of condom use to protect teenagers from pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease.
"I tell them to be careful," Eric Nies from the Moment of Hope Foundation says in the video. "You have to wear a condom. You have to protect yourself when you're going to have sex, 'cause they're having it anyway. There's nothing that you or me can do about it."
O'Donnell responds: "The sad reality is -- yes, there is something you can do about it. And the sad reality, to tell them slap on a condom is not..."
Interjects Nies: "You're going to stop the whole country from having sex?"
Replies O'Donnell: "Yeah. Yeah."
"I'm a young woman in my thirties and I remain chaste," she adds. "It's unrealistic to think they're just going to do it anyway. Kids are not just dogs in heat."
O'Donnell has said she is no longer talking to national media outlets, and has dismissed comments that have garnered controversy as reflecting her passion for her faith and the experimentation typical of young people.

p.s george bush has no twin brother so that was definitely george reading to the school children very nonchalant without a care in the world knowing that New York was being attacked,talk about apathy. You could also tell that the apathetic egotist never gave a damn for those who perished on 9/ll when he gave his cheap photo op performance at ground zero speaking through the blow horn. You could really tell that it was all for show and nothing more.

1953
"Piltdown Man Hoax Is Exposed," announced the New York Times on November 21, 1953. "Part of the skull of the Piltdown man, one of the most famous fossil skulls in the world, has been declared a hoax by authorities at the British Natural History Museum. But in 1953, the jawbone was found to be that of a modern ape -- orangutan, most likely -- that had been treated with chemicals to make it look as though it had been lying in the ground for hundreds of centuries.
The London Star headlines shouted, "The Biggest Scientific Hoax of the Century!" If you're intellectually honest you will Search Online and find many examples of such deception. The Evolution Theory is being taught as Science nowdays, although "Theory" just means an idea. Science means an idea that has been tested and proven - known to be true. Don't call a theory science - it shows your ignorance. So what is the origin of the capacity of humans to form ideas, experience emotional feelings, practice benevolence, deception, retain memory, and perform mathematical calculations? What produced the Soul in Mankind? Go beyond the high school class level. Science has Proven that biological systems are the manifestations of a written chemical language. Languages are written by intelligent beings. Accidents happen too. Mainly to careless people.
A FEW QUOTES FROM A FEW YEARS AGO
My husband John R served his country well as a Marine Lieutenant on Iwo Jima, was wounded and received a Silver star for his actions. Three of our sons volunteered to serve their country with pride and honor in Viet Nam. Whelan?s were no ?Chicken Hawks? as are bush, cheney, rumsfeld ((who was in the service but saw no combat. He was later given the old heave ho, Thank God)) I cannot believe their boldness and audacity to want to send our youth when they were not willing to go yesterday.
((Helen Whelan, Wife and mother of 3 veterans))
When you sit quietly under the moonlight sky, look up and find the North Star. I will be looking at it also, and imagine me next to you, even though we are far apart, you can always find me in the star.
(Sgt Jaror Puello-Coronado, in his last letter to his wife before dying in Iraq.)
Be studious, stay in school and stay away from the military. I mean it.
(Marine Sgt. Russell Slay, in a letter to his 5 year old son, shortly before he was killed in Iraq.
?Admiral Kelly Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans, Major combat operations in Iraq have ended, in the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed? Another grandiose lie from the apathetic, arrogant,, vindictive, egotistical hypocrite and lying coward known the george bush..
?bush lands on the aircraft carrier strutting his stuff and I have a hard time walking. How dare you!! That?s how I look at the president, HOW DARE YOU!! It amazes me how he does it with a smile too?

A soldiers view of the Iraq War March 5, 2004
I am a Calvary scout in the United States Army. I am stationed at Fort Bliss Texas. We returned home Tuesday and I would like to comment on his war from a specialized soldier?s eyes. I honestly think that the president lied to all of us. After seeing first hand what was in most parts of Iraq, my whole company could not fathom a threat of any means. I love America, and will defend her when called upon, but in this case there was not a real threat. By the way, the THANKSGIVING PHOTO-OP at the AIRPORT was only open to pro-bush soldiers. We were screened unknowingly about four days before he showed up in secret. We didn?t know he was coming, but looking back, all of the questions we were asked were designed to weed out the antiwar soldiers..
If you recall at george bush?s two inaugurals there were an awful lot of demonstrations. And if you recall his first inaugural was a dark, rainy, dreary, dismal, dreadful, and very depressing day in Washington DC. It felt as if a huge black cloud hovered over the entire nation as if we were being cursed expecting for a bad omen to happen. And it did, starting with the 9/11 tragedy?.By the way, the only one they were able to get to perform at his 2nd inaugural was Ricky Martin.(another you know what?.Tee hee he)

Sure glad she doesn't have children.
Many create gods and Christ?s in their own image and even quote from the scriptures merely so they can continue with their personal and political agenda?Nothing whatsoever to do with CHRIST, SERMON ON THE MOUNT ANYONE? but everything to do with the MALE EGO. I?m reminded of the time when george (born again Christian?) bush constantly said that he spoke to god when it was obviously the EGOTISTICAL GOD he created in his own image.
