Obsess about these issues? She was working for a think-tank that was RESPONSIBLE for thinking about "these issues".
I'm sure any rational parent of a college-aged daughter shared O'Donnell's organization's concerns - at the time she made those statements and even today.
Including telling other people's kids not to masturbate? Is that what people want from a U.S. Senator? Really?
The issue in question was stopping universities from having co-ed dorm rooms, not masturbation.
You do realize that O'Donnell's decades-old position on masturbation is completely in line with the teachings of many conservative Protestant congregations, the Catholic church and some Orthodox and Conservative Jewish congregations as well, correct? You also realize that she said nothing about the state imposing bans on masturbation, right?
And if you think anyone has scratched the surface on the "bearded marxist" Coons' decades-old out-of-the-mainstream positions and writings, I have a bridge to sell you. Harry Reid did him no favor today, either, by calling Coons his "pet".
