Christine O’Donnell won the Delaware primary last night, and within minutes (literally) über liberal Rachel Maddow started running video and commentary on MSNBC about O’Donnell’s views on masturbation.
The pretext for sexualizing O’Donnell was a 1996 video in which O’Donnell was interviewed about her conservative Christian views on sex.
Before Maddow’s post, the subject mostly was the subject of left-wing bloggers, but Maddow took it mainstream on MSNBC’s primetime coverage.
An almost 15-year old video was all the excuse Maddow needed to take the story national. Because the fate of the nation turns on whether O’Donnell masturbates, at least to Maddow.
One can understand why Alan Colmes would get all excited about the subject, but why the person who runs the liberal feminist blog Feministe?
Because liberal feminism is dead, and has been for years.
The liberal feminist death march has continued through the sexualized attacks on Sarah Palin and other conservative women in more recent times.
But, it’s not like I didn’t see this coming.

Update: The always classy NY Times starts off its headline article hit piece about O’Donnell’s win with this paragraph:
In the bright light of Wednesday morning, Christine O’Donnell, whose Republican primary victory upended the calculus for future control of the United State Senate, became quickly known to Americans as the woman who once made dire warnings about the negative impact of masturbation.
New Post, same subject: “What’s up w/obsession about O’Donnell’s opinions on sex?”

Ok, maybe bringing up video from 14 years ago is kind of a cheap shot. But until or unless she says OTHERWISE about her views on abstinence and masturbation, we have to assume she holds the same or similar views! And if so, she's a puritanical kook who will probably push those kinds of nonsensical policies in the Senate that just lead to more teen pregnancies and abortions. As well as higher rates of STDs.
Abstinence-only DOESN'T WORK! Sure, in a perfect world, we'd all like our teenagers to stay abstinent and wait until they're ready and older, but that's not the reality. You have to cater to reality, not a utopia. Telling teens about protection and safe sex is NOT encouraging them to do it; it's simply saying, "Look, don't give in to peer pressure, but if you do feel you're ready at any particular moment, make sure you're safe." That's all.
And besides, moderation is much safer than abstinence for individuals. If you try all your life getting the 'moral courage' to abstain from something that's highly tempting, you're likely to let that energy build up until it's too much, and then you indulge massively in whatever you're trying to resist. I don't know the whole story behind WHY there are so many pedos in the Catholic Church, but I would assume that this explanation is at least partly true.
Midwestern Avenger, the woman Clinton raped was named Juanita Broaddrick. I'm not going to waste my time finding links for the long list of others he abused, but suffice it to day that you're the one who's full of crap. In fact, if you're going to make thaose kinds of charges, you're the one who needes to come up with links to back them up.
Face it. We all just cannot think like the liberals. Poor fellow at DU posted about his house being broken into by "trashy" career criminals. He was chastised for calling a criminal "trashy", as they were clearly just down on their luck, and their only chance of survival was to steal a stranger's belongings. That's how it works.
But,I am glad to see the left is bent out of shape, especially as O'Donnell just surpassed $650,000 in campaign contributions in less than 24 hours.
Rachel Madcow in a thong is the antidote to the 4 hour erection fron the Cialis commercials.
This is quite a bright light you guys are defending:
"… In 1998, while O'Donnell was a guest on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, she … argu[ed] that 'telling the truth is always the right thing to do, I believe, and that's what always gets you out of a situation.'
"Comedian Eddie Izzard pressed her on just how far she would take her anti-lying beliefs. Izzard asked O'Donnell whether or not she would lie to Nazis who showed up at her door during WWII and demanded to know if she were hiding any Jewish people in her house. O'Donnell refused to even entertain the notion of concealing the truth from Nazis in that scenario because "you never have to practice deception":
"… IZZARD: What if someone comes to you in the middle of the Second World War and says, 'do you have any Jewish people in your house?' and you do have them. That would be a lie. That would be disrespectful to Hitler.
"O’DONNELL: I believe if I were in that situation, God would provide a way to do the right thing righteously. I believe that!
"MAHER: God is not there. Hitler's there and you’re there.
"O’DONNELL: You never have to practice deception. God always provides a way out.
"In addition to the fact that O’Donnell’s unwillingness to lie about the Jews’ whereabouts would have almost certainly resulted in their capture and imprisonment, an important question must be asked: Does O’Donnell believe that those brave Gentile families who hid Jews from the Nazis weren’t righteous because they practiced deception?"
