Let'em starve. Let'em beg.

Christine O'Donnell on Tuesday compared the "tragedy" of benefits to Pearl Harbor and the death of Elizabeth Edwards. 

"Today marks a lot of tragedy," O'Donnell, the Tea Party-backed GOP Senate candidate from Delaware, said Tuesday night during an appearance in Virginia. 

"Tragedy comes in threes," O'Donnell said. "Pearl Harbor, Elizabeth Edwards's passing and Barack Obama's announcement of extending the tax cuts, which is good, but also extending the unemployment benefits." 

SC Senator Jim DeMint wanted this woman- an admitted Satanist and failed Buddhist who became a keen TV comedy show anti- masturbation enthusiast who admitted to going on a date at a blood covered devil-worship altar- to be one of his Mini-Mes. Never mind that she makes a living running for the US Senate- three times in six years.It says a lot both that she says entending the social safety net to help people screwed nine ways from Sunday by the policies the two espouse is comparable to the attack on Pearl Harbor that dragged the US into war and cost millions of lives. And DeMint is silent.

Tell it to the dead, you two. Tell it to the 2900 who died yesterday. Tell it to the 1000 and more trapped in the ruins of the Arizona, where oil boils up to the surface 69 years later.

Have neither of you no sense of decency, ? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?


UPDATE: Nope. DeMint wants to give the rich hundreds of billions in borrowed money but says extending unemployment benefits- well, that's just evil. Those greedy poor people-

The South Carolina senator said that he wants the unemployment benefits favored by Democrats to be fully funded. He also raised issue with the proposed changes to the estate tax, which will increase to 35 percent on estates valued over $5 million.

"I’m glad the President recognizes that tax increases hurt the economy. I mean, I guess that’s progress," he said. "But frankly, Hugh, most of us who ran this election said we were not going to vote for anything that increased the deficit. This does. It raises taxes, it raises the death tax. I don’t think we needed to negotiate that aspect of this thing away. I don’t think we need to extend unemployment any further without paying for it, and without making some modifications such as turning it into a loan at some point."
