Christine O'Donnell Accuses 'Liberal Media' Of 'Character Assassination' (VIDEO)

Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell spoke at a GOP sponsored candidate forum in Newark, Delaware, Wednesday and accused the "liberal media" of enacting a campaign of "character assassination" against her, CNN reports.

"I've put my name on the line. And I've taken a lot of hits, a lot of slander, a lot of character assassination," the Tea Party-backed GOP upstart said.

O'Donnell has captivated the media with a constant stream of clips uncovered by both reporters and comedian Bill Maher, who frequently had her on his ABC show, "Politically Incorrect," throughout the 1990s.

O'Donnell recently took to the airwaves to defend herself against one of the most puzzling comments, in which she claimed that she had "dabbled in witchcraft." In her latest ad, she tells viewers flatly: "I'm not a witch...I'm you."

After the Republican forum Wednesday night, O'Donnell remained true to her promise to avoid national media -- except for Fox News -- leaving the event through back door and refusing to take questions from CNN, which provided video of the event.

HuffPost Pollster's analysis of the race shows O'Donnell trailing Democrat Chris Coons by double digit margins.

liberal media did not make O'Donnell or make her open her mouth...they certainly didn't force her to do the "I am not a Witch" ad

so quit whining..you lost to the better candidate O'Donnell..it had nothing to do with the media.

Before accusing anyone, O'Donnell should first recongnize that she lacks character and integrity. This woman has repeatedly proven how dumb she is, and yet the media is giving her the attention she had been carving for. Such a loser!!!!!!!!!!!!

O'Donnell is a fine piece of work! First she lies to everyone on the planet. Then she gets angry when they do not believe her lies. Then she claims they are attacking her for her beliefs????? Can you believe that???

No one I see has attacked her for her "beliefs." Its obvious she does NOT have any belief except that she is very, very special and should not have to answer to anyone about her lies today, her lies yesterday, and her lies tomorrow!

She has no belief except that she is so special she should not have to answer any questions about herself, her lies, her thefts, and what new cons she wants to run! Where did this piece of work come from?

She shouldn't really worry though! There is no such thing as a "liberal Media" in this country anymore anyway! There is not anything that could even be called an honest media!

Interesting defense of her own stooopidity! so PALINESQUE!

When the "liberal media" (Why don't they just SAY MSNBC! There are literally NO OTHERS!) reports THE TRUTH about a person, past or present, we do not get to hold them responsible for the subject matter. They mearly REPORTED IT! SHE is the one RESPONSIBLE for it. HER PARTY is the one IRRESPONSIBLE enough to choose such a loser as a candidate.

Christine O'Donnell offers such a treasure trove of "absurd" and "ridiculous", the media is probably at a real loss, as to which Cra-Z-ness to report next.

My favorite, this week, from Christine, is that she "outed" literally ALL the missionaries in China as mere C IA fronts, in place to gather "classified intelligence" about China's diabolical scheme to conspire to take over America, but she's not at liberty to discuss that!

Nice!

Does she H8 those missionaries SO MUCH that she INTENDED to put them all at rick? Or, was that a "sh'ot" at the C IA?

Again with the "Liberal Media" fallacy? There is no such thing as the "Liberal Media." This is the GOP code word for: "Aw $#@%! One of my dumb@$$ comments got remembered by the press!"

Wait a sec. O'Donnell put herself on TV, for broadcast, put her personal and professional information online, for broadcast, and it is the MEDIA's fault that that information, once broadcast - as she intended - reflected poorly on her?? Really??

Lemme guess: O'Donnell goes to a bar, drinks herself into a stupor, gets busted for OUI on the way home and it's the barman's fault. RIght. Gotcha. Chalk one up for the party of "personal accountability."

Definition of character is not defamation of character. Sorry, Christine, but the shoe fits. The good news for you is you will make a mint; it worked for Sarah P.

How can it be character assassination when you speak the truth? She is on tape, the words coming out of her mouth, over and over again, these silly beliefs of hers. Since when do you distance yourself from your own words?

Christine O'Donnell is like having a State Fair Petting Zoo, a Sea World Clapping Seal , Touch Football, a Maypole, a Swing Set, a Hot Tub, a Merry-go-round, a Smack-A-Mole and a Water Slide all rolled up into one.

And it's FREE!

Actually Christine O'Donnel organized certain video's for Years of herself that worked against her. She assassinated her Character herself in her own words, in video's she knew could be showed over/over again. We have gotten to know her thanks to those video's. She is unhinged at the least I would say, doesn't know what church/religion she should be connected with, misguided about Sex, an thinks every one is out to get her an that leads u to think she has mental health issues to. Just to think of her haveing other people money to play with, is a frightening thought given she supported herself sense 2004 on donations to campagns she wasn't even running at times!
