New ad is irresistibly funny.

I don't normally post very many campaign ads, but this race is irresistible.
It's sad to think it'll be over so soon, but I doubt the spooky kooky one will vanish for long....

Christine: Shocked that First Amendment includes "no law respecting an establishment of religion" says "We're all, like; what??!!"

I know, another Olberman story, and he's so subjective and opinionated!
Sorry, this was the only version of her "like what?" clip I could find.
He does go on a bit, regarding the entire tea party crowd.

Poor Christine still thinks she won the argument about the first amendment, ignorant of the details of her memorized right wing talking point that "the phrase" "Separation of Church and State" does not appear in the constitution, taking it further in the debate to snorting ridicule when Coons explained to her that the phrase "Congress shall pass no law respecting an establishment of religion" is in the first amendment. (Her response: "You're telling me THAT'S in the first amendment?!")

CNN's Anderson Cooper dissects Church and State, deflates her claims of being a "constitutional scholar"

Anderson gets the story mostly right, but his one mistake is to say that she got "the technicality" right, in that the words "separation of church and state" do not appear in the constitution (neither do the words "Balance of powers" "primary elections" nor does the freedom of the press clause mention "the media" "TV" or "the internet", but we understand those ideas to be implied by the constitutions words and the courts have well established that, along with the separation of church and state implied by "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion... or the free exercise thereof" )

In fact if you watch the debate video (complete quote in a post below) you will see that at the very end of the "technicality" bit, Coons states that the clause reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" and hearing that, Christine the constitutional scholar says "You're telling me THAT"S in the first amendment?!" clearly showing she knows her right wing talking point but does NOT know the first amendment.

But after all who are we to question the wisdom of a constitutional scholar, especially one who is also a secret agent missionary spy with secret info on China's secret plans, an expert on evolution being a myth because monkeys are not "still evolving into humans", and of course, a Satanist Witch (even though that's a contradiction in terms)

CTTW: "Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?"..."You're telling me that's in the first Amendment?!"

They say that in a fool's paradise, ignorance is blis.

Christine must be pretty blissed out then.

This takes the cake. She really doesn't know what's in the first amendment.
"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion"
That may be a slight misquote on my part, because I cited it from memory!
Like every American should be able to.
Especially Senate candidates.

This is why she is so dangerous. She doesn't just make up her own science facts, and constantly make up new lies and fantasies about her supposed life experiences, she makes up her own idea of what the constitution says. These Tea Party Republican candidates say they are all about the constitution, and they are ready to strip our society of everything not explicitly mentioned in the document, like public schools, the minimum wage, desegregation, women's rights etcetera, but they don't even bother to read the first freaking Amendment for gosh sakes!!!!



Now don't let her campaign spin this after the fact, she is not making some "clever" tired old theocratic point about how the words "separation of church and state" do not appear in the constitution, just watch the last minute of this clip again. During one of the few moments in which CTTW is not blatantly interrupting and talking over him, he quotes the "establishment clause" as it's called, pretty much word for word and she says repeatedly "That's in the first Amendment? You're telling me that's in the first Amendment?!"

Don't let her compulsive lying deceive you, watch this clip over and over until you are sure. She clearly did not know about the establishment clause. She's so brainwashed by extremist right wing ideas about letting one kind of religion run our country that she hasn't bothered to read the darned constitution herself. This is why memorizing talking points hurt you when you don't get an education or do in depth research for yourself.

Meghan McCain, the last moderate Republican calls CTTW "unqualified", "scary", "a joke"

Take note, McCain knows people on the inside of the right wing leadership in this country, and she says here that she is saying what everyone says in the back rooms. Another valid point is that the right is trying to "bully" McCain, and she is becoming a more and more cogent and important voice as she becomes more and more publicly disillusioned with the increasing extremism she is surrounded by.
