Mum on masturbation

from the Guardian UK:






Christine O'Donnell did not blink or even lower her voice. Sitting in the lounge of the Fairfield hotel in Dover, Delaware, with breakfast guests eavesdropping, the Tea Party's newest star briefly discussed her belief that masturbation is sinful.

In an interview with the Guardian, only hours after her shock victory in the primaries, she did not hesitate when the issue of her infamous quote came up. In a television programme in the 1990s, O'Donnell, then head of a Christian conservative lobby group, Saviour's Alliance for Lifting the Truth, said: "The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. So you can't masturbate without lust."

She backed off a little today, saying it had been long ago. "My opponents dug up a quote I gave 16 years ago. That is how desperate they are. I was a pundit. I was very passionate in my 20s and wanted to share my beliefs," she said.

Asked if she still believes today that it is sinful, O'Donnell dodged the question. "It is irrelevant to this race," she said, moving on. She may still hold the view that it is sinful, one that could alienate moderate voters, or she does not want to offend her conservative Christian base by saying she had had a rethink. Either way, she isn't saying. ..........(more)
