O'Donnell Motherlode of Bad Craziness Watch

O’Donnell Motherlode of Bad Craziness Watch

WingnutsSeptember 2010 • Views: 3,692

The latest jaw-droppingly insane statements from new GOP star Christine O’Donnell: Christine O’Donnell said gays suffer from `identity disorder,’ reporter says.

On Friday I noted here that the Wilmington News Journal ran a 2006 profile of O’Donnell which paraphrased her views, claiming she “considers homosexuality an identity disorder.” But the paper didn’t include any direct quote supporting that.

Now the reporter on the story, Victor Greto, who’s now a professor at Wesley College in Delaware, emails over her full quote from his notes on the interview. Here’s what she said:

“People are created in God’s image. Homosexuality is an identity adopted through societal factors. It’s an identity disorder.”

O’Donnell is the face of the GOP in 2012: anti-science, homophobic, and fanatically religious.

Nature simply has no restriction on sexual relations, its something we humans have decided is ripe for control.

Some animals have true same sex relations, and some have same sex recreational intercourse.

Next time some idiot uses the naturalistic fallacy, point out the recreational sex dolphins and geese have, and the true gay relations found in chimps and, of all things, penguins. Then tell her, if we want to be natural we should all get naked and act like Bonobos.

Yee Haa.

Vambo Mon, Sep 20, 2010 9:29:10am

Going to circuit parties, frosting your hair, and listening to nothing but dance music - yes, I can see how that would be an "identity".

But then there's every GOP politician, Catholic priest, "in the closet" married w/ children homo, all of the gays in the military and pretty much everyone who doesn't fit the gay stereotype... it's a diverse group of people, there is no singular identity.

Ignorant cow.

Bigotry is an evolutionary holdover from when our brains weren't big enough to hold a list of societal debts and obligations within large communities. It's where the in-group and out-group identities develop.

Here it is!

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Definition
By Mayo Clinic staff

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several types of personality disorders. Personality disorders are conditions in which people have traits that cause them to feel and behave in socially distressing ways, limiting their ability to function in relationships and in other areas of their life, such as work or school.

Narcissistic personality disorder treatment is centered around psychotherapy.

ReamWorks SKG Mon, Sep 20, 2010 9:39:10am

So here's my question:

With all the issues that are facing America today, do these folks really believe that "Homosexuality" (even if they're opposed to it), is the biggest issue? That if we got rid of all our homosexuals, then everyone would be able to afford that McMansion they deserve with two SUVs in the driveway?

I don't disagree, but in the end it does not matter. It does not matter to me whether it's a choice or you're born that way. It could be that it's both.

It's more important to those that want to take rights away so they can build a case against it.

Most of Leviticus 18 I'm cool with. I have no plan to sacrifice my kids in the Old Testament manner, some of the others I've already broken,, i.e. I don't think a woman is "unclean"once a month and the neighbors wife thing has been a problem for some conservatives.

If we can be born with heterosexual tendencies, which implies a strong genetic component, then that same genetic component can also give us non-heterosexual tendencies.

As a gay-married, card-carrying homosexual, I actually maintain it's a "choice." And the reason I do is that I don't like the sound of the "give them rights! They can't help what they are" argument, and it leads to unanswerable questions like "what about rights for people who can't help murdering and eating people."

So while somone's fundamental preferences might not be much of a choice, opting to live as a law abiding, tax-paying, same-sex couple is. And people--especially "conservatives" and "libertarians" should be supportive of two Adult's choice to live how they want to, in a social arrangement of their choosing, provided it doesn't interfere with other people's basic rights.

(I'm always amused how libertarian heroes like Ron Paul manage to oppose equal rights for homosexuals, and manage to support public funding for private organizations like the Boy Scouts of America, all while claiming to be "libertarian.")

why can't we just get back to:

I'm with Sullivan, it actually makes you want to cry that people can be so clueless.
My sister loves me, I'm gay so that means she is not homophobic at all.

Jewish thought, even traditional orthodox teaching on Sodom is that:

The major sin of these cities was a total indifference to the need to share its wealth with its needy neighbors and visitors. It is hoped that the lesson of Sodom and Amorah will be taken seriously by a government which is more concerned with economic growth than it is with the needs of its large families and senior citizens. Only an application of this lesson will guarantee the well-being of Israel forever.

(And by "Israel" they mean the Jewish Community, not the physical political entity.)

Ohr Somaych

And this has been Jewish thinking for some time. It's not some modern "political correctness." I'm sure G-d has something planned for these people who twist and distort his message, and don't have their basic priorities of helping the neediest.

One of the reasons O'Donnell got the nomination was the DE gop-tea party's angry reaction to Mike Castle's town hall last year.

He actually had the nerve to say that Obama is a citizen and dismiss the birther movement. To that town hall crowd and many DE conservatives, this just proved Castle was really a RINO, or closet liberal, or rational moderate--all of which are unacceptable..."he's one of them, not one of us."

I agree with that. Not to compare homosexuality to raw sexual urges, all sexuality can be pared down to that, but we all have urges. We don't act upon them, it's called 'civilization.' It's a choice whether you act upon them or not.

I find it telling that most who object and obsess over homosexuality focus exclusively on the sexual part of it and do not pay any attention to the 98% of the rest of our lives when we are not engaging in intercourse.

Castle committed apostasy. As a lizard said yesterday it's the GOP's 'Robespierrian period' (paraphrasing).

I used to frown upon such comparisons as clumsy but the most extreme TB's only a few notches above the Taliban. Though Kos makes me wince I might have to read his book and see if he makes a compelling case.

I don't much care if it's a choice or genetically based. You, your spouse, and every other gay person deserves the same rights as all non-homosexuals, including the right to live like anyone else. End of story IMO.
