Christine O'Donnell would have told the Nazis where the Jews were hiding!

[Joanne98]

Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell's doubts about this unproven evolution thing aren't the only weird past positions of hers turning up online today. Think Progress finds a clip of her on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, where she was a frequent guest, seemingly taking the position that the act of lying is so evil, she wouldn't deceive Nazis about where the Jews were hiding.

CHRISTINE O’DONNELL: A lie, whether it be a lie or an exaggeration, is disrespect to whoever you’re exaggerating or lying to, because it’s not respecting reality.

BILL MAHER: Quite the opposite, it can be respect.

EDDIE IZZARD: What if someone comes to you in the middle of the Second World War and says, ‘do you have any Jewish people in your house?’ and you do have them. That would be a lie. That would be disrespectful to Hitler.

CHRISTINE O’DONNELL: I believe if I were in that situation, God would provide a way to do the right thing righteously. I believe that!


So it's not "righteous" to save Jews from Nazis by fibbing to the Nazis? Jeez.

3. Republican pundit: Wah! Why won't the Jews vote for us. Look how much money we give to Israel.

Less dumb Republican pundit: "Uh dude,we kind of have a lot people in our party that compare naked Jews in death camps to pornography and who want to create a Christian theocracy in which they would be second class citizens. You might as well be asking them to fund Romanov pogroms."

4. More like

Christine O'Donnell would be one of the Nazi's who where hunting the Jews. This is how the Nazi party got into power, it started with a terrible economy (granted it was 100000% worst them ours is right now) and they blamed the jews and the french and everyone else. Just remember that when you go to vote.

6. She needs God's advice in that situation?

She wouldn't be able to figure out what the right thing to do is? "God" needs
to lead her to the right decision? She REALLY is fucked up.
