O'Donnell would not lie to Hilter if she was hiding Jews in the House
Man I wish that one was a fake title from Onion!

Comedian Eddie Izzard pressed her on just how far she would take her anti-lying beliefs. Izzard asked O'Donnell whether or not she would lie to Nazis who showed up at her door during WWII and demanded to know if she were hiding any Jewish people in her house. O'Donnell refused to even entertain the notion of concealing the truth from Nazis in that scenario because "you never have to practice deception":


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.

MAHER: Quite the opposite, it can be respect.

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.

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

MAHER: God is not there. Hitler's there and you're there.

O'DONNELL: You never have to practice deception. God always provides a way out.

1. O'Donnell - the gift that keeps on giving...
And it's less than 2 days since the primary. With the increased scrutiny, it's going to be fun watching what pops out from her private loony bin.

:popcorn:

2. I'm guessing THAT won't help sway the Jewish vote in her favor
amongst others.

4. Yikes.....

"God would provide a way to do the right thing righteously. I believe that!"


And I'm a little frightened as to what the "right thing righteously" would be in her mind. :scared:
