You know we never bothered unearthing these gems before because she was never really a viable candidate. She still isn't but best the world knows what the Tea Party embraces...

Uncovered: O’Donnell objected to calling AIDS sufferers ‘victims’

Delaware Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell has already been widely mocked for a 1998 interview in which she claimed that masturbation is no different from adultery because "the Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery."

Now Talking Points Memo has uncovered a 1997 interview on C-SPAN in which O'Donnell complained about the "gross disproportionate allocation of funds" going to AIDS research and treatment.

"A lot of the money that we're spending goes to things that we know will not prevent AIDS," O'Donnell complained, "but, indeed, will continue to spread the disease -- when a lot of our money goes to distribute condoms in high schools, when a lot of our money goes to distribute material that is literally pornographic."

After a caller suggested that contracting AIDS is "like a bank robber getting shot in the head while in the act of committing the robbery," O'Donnell agreed that "he makes an excellent point."

1. I prefer to think of myself as an "AIDS survivor" rather than victim.

But this woman is a vile bit of work, isn't she?
