O'Donnell's past statements of mice and men and witchcraft speak not only of her lack of intelligence but her character. She's made a career of going on Bill Mahr to make stupid statements and running for office and so now that she is running for office again, to say her past is unimportant is disingenious and intellectually dishonest especially since she refuses to give interviews and we are left to define her for ourselves.The link you included provided the context that explained her statement. She erroneously said that they had developed mice with human brains when the truth was that they developed mice with human brain cells. An embarrassing error to be sure, but hardly serious.
And to the best of my knowledge, she's stepped back from many of her statements, particularly those about sexuality.
What I find interesting is your double standard of not criticizing the candidates on the right and trying to turn this thread into another criticizm of the left for not doing what you yourself don't do. Look at how many politicians on the right who run on family values and end up being child molestors and sex offenders....
Republican Values Create Child Molesters
But does that stop the right from voting for them? No. Case in point, David Vitter. But surely you've noticed the constant barrage of attacks on Obama for the last two years over trivial if not phoney accounts from his past. The double standard of the right is nauseating.
Here is my list of objections to O'Donnell....
Her lack of fiscal responsiblity is appalling and she has no credibilty in demanding budget and spending cuts for the rest of us.
Her opinion that women should be subserviant to men is disgusting especially considering she had a very lurid sexual history of her own and isn't even married. She also probably had several abortions, since she doesn't have children, which makes her opinion on abortion hypocritical.
Her opinion that women shouldn't be in the military is stupid and embarrassing.
Her opinions on science are stupid and her being a YEC makes her even more stupid.
The woman is a complete and utter idiot and the only reason she's even made it this far in the election is because the Koch's are funding her campaign.
