She then goes on to cast various slurs on China, most of them provably false. But, as O’Donnell has never yet held any public office (despite several campaigns), where does she get classified information?
Christine, if you don’t want people thinking you’re a witch, this is not the way to go about it.
And the guy she was debating was of Chinese ancestry!
She’s debating Coons this evening, which ought to be good for a laugh. She’s already been discredited, but I hope he delivers the coup de grace.
Did this make sense in your head, before you posted it?
Wow. That was a revelation. The woman is a scatterbrain and a true Palin clone. Coons is well-spoken and stuck to the topic at hand. O’Donnell was all over the place. I had to laugh at “lock step and barrel”, though.
Here’s the other version. Too much?
If someone posts the debate online, I hope a Doper will link it. I really wanted to see this one, but I was at work on the west coast when it happened.

Is that her nose, or a false one?
thanks spark240
I liked how she referred to “letting the tax cuts expire on the so-called rich”.
Honey, anyone with that kind of money isn’t so-called rich. They are rich.
Not compared to the super rich! Hah!

Surprisingly, it appears that this idiom has been around for a while. Cite
Note that several times the term is used to disparage conservatives:
*“Like their conservative counterparts they expect all Democrats to follow the liberal line, lock, step, and barrel.”
“The Bush administration is in lock-step-and barrel with the oil industry.”
“That is interesting and it points to how many of the congregants of these
megachurches aren’t always lock, step and barrel behind their “spiritual leaders.”*
So in that context it isn’t surprising that that little hott…uh, I mean it isn’t surprising that O’Donnell picked it up somewhere along the way.
She made 2 claims that I’d like checked for fact. I did a little googling, but it’s possible I missed something, since this isn’t a race that I’ve been researching extensively for weeks like the Nevada senate race.
She said that unemployment doubled in 2 years under Coons, and when challenged, said she got the stats from the US Dept. of Labor and that they would be up on her website by tomorrow (14 Oct).
She said that the $11,000 tax lien from the IRS was gone and that the IRS admitted it was a computer error. I cannot find any evidence online that the IRS made this admission.
Why would it? When’s the last time you’ve seen an internet posting by the IRS saying that it had screwed up on some taxpayer’s taxes and that they didn’t owe money after all?
We fought the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s and 1990s? We did? :smack: How did I miss that?
She made the claim that the IRS admitted their error. Where? When? To whom? Why can’t I find evidence of it?
Assuming that she’s telling the truth, they probably acknowledged it during a phone call or by private letter.
Plus I would think that a U.S. senatorial candidate baldfacedly lying about IRS actions with regard to her taxes would be a serious enough offense for the IRS to have one of its officials step forward to refute her claims.
In other words, you have nothing.
Why would you assume she’s telling the truth now when she’s lied about both the tax lien and her mortgage problems before?
