"Eddie Izzard confronted her and said, 'Really? If Hitler was at the door and you had Anne Frank in the attic, you wouldn't lie?' She said, 'No. God would find a way.' "

Can't say if she is an idiot now, but we know she was an idiot then. Of course, I was quite the idiot in my youth, too. Lucky for me, it wasn't taped and broadcast on television.

Me I thought I was a Liberal when I was a kid 40 years ago. I have not changed any of my opinions hardly at all since then and now I am a far right extremist? This should tell us something.

So now she would lie to Hitler about Anne Frank being in her attic? I don’t think I ever watched Politically Incorrect, but it sounds like the entire show is devoted to idiocy. Small wonder she never became a “media goddess” with an outlet like that, and questions like that. What this has to do with her run for public office in Delaware still eludes me. It’s just an appalling side show, brought to us courtesy of Carl Rove.

Same here. If I ran for office though, some jerk would probably find a way to dig it up.

Here’s my issue with O’Donnell. She said some NUTSO things on that show...and while I personally don’t care and would walk over hot coals to vote for her if I lived in DE, it’s stuff like this that gives ammo to the leftists claims that Tea Partiers are a bunch of 13th century Neanderthals.

Someone like, say, Joe Miller in AK does not have these things going on with him, but O’Donnell does.

Don’t get me wrong - I LIKE and have defended O’Donnell, but it’s hard to shake this. She gave great answers on Hannity the other night but can’t sit on her butt about this as it won’t go away.

DO you disagree with her statement about lying? Or do you just think in general that she was an idiot.

If the former, do you draw a line at what level of sin is acceptable to prevent Hitler from finding Anne Frank?

Would it be OK to kill Hitler? Would it be ok to kill the person who you knew would inform hitler? Would it be OK to kill the person who saw Frank slipping into your house, who you think might go tell someone who would tell hitler?

Young Christians, with their newfound faith, often see the commandments of God as absolute commandments to be followed, and trust that God will honor those who honor Him by making it all work out.

There were many early Christians who allowed themselves to be torn apart by lions rather than commit the rather small sin of lying about their own faith in Christ. Some of these also saw their wives and children put to death because they wouldn’t lie about being Christian.

So, let me put the left-wing question another way. Anne Frank is in your attic, and a Nazi shows up at the door, and asks “Are you a Christian”. You know that if you say you are, they will search your house and find Frank.

Do you deny your faith to save Anne Frank, remembering that in the Bible people gave up their lives and the lives of their families in order to “tell the truth” when lying would save lives?

Why is it “idiotic” to admit that you would tell the truth even if that truth might put lives in danger?

I’m not saying I’d tell the truth — but what makes it “idiotic”?
