Tea Party candidate: Masturbation is the same as adultery

~

Christine O'Donnell is one of those who, as MSNBC's Rachel Maddow put it on Tuesday, "simply freak out other Republicans."

O'Donnell's views appear to be particularly extreme, even by Tea Party standards.

In 1998, she told an MTV interviewer that masturbation is the same as adultery because "the Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. So you can't masturbate without lust."
