In even more troubling and shocking news, a video was unearthed today showing Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell has dabbled with Christianity. Although she was only in her 20s, she repeatedly prayed, read the Bible, and confessed a sincere belief in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.
Some speculate that O’Donnell is still secretly practicing her “faith” as she’s been spotted cavorting with other known “Christian” suspects. Many democrats believe they can use this “Christian” issue to discredit her candidacy.
Beltway pundit Bill Dummas was quoted as saying, “Nothing discredits a politician more than pointing out that they are a sincere Christian with deeply held spiritual convictions. Instead of focusing in on her misguided political platform, we really need to attack her irrational notion that God calls us to pursue moral purity.”
Dummas went on to state, “We need to discredit her already slim chances of winning by belittling the aspects of her faith that unite her with millions of apolitical Christians. Sure, this might make thousands upon thousands of moderate Christians run to her defense, but it’s worth the cost. How else can we feed our elite smugness!”
In a related story, a satirist was beaten by an angry mob yesterday as no one was able to tell whether or not he was being ironic, coy, or disingenuous.
