Huckabee Wanted to Isolate AIDS Patients

Aids-'activists' themselves preached that Aids was a threat to the entire population, back when they tried to push the falsehood that it was a greater risk to the Hetro-sexual majority than themselves.

Your statement seems to assume that all AIDS activists are homosexual.

I don't know about "greater risk", but the risk is the same for heterosexuals as for homosexuals. The real risk factor is number of partners and unprotected sex. It doesn't matter whether you're gay or straight. Having sex with lots of people and not using protection increases your risk. Heterosexuals are just as much at risk as gay people.

Washington, DC is currently in the midst of an explosion of HIV. And the majority of the new cases are transmitted through heterosexual conduct just as it is in Africa. It will be interesting to watch how Huckleberry dances around this one.

the thing that upsets people greatly.. is that when this came out many of the extremly religious, took this as a sign that god decided to do something about the growing gay population, despite having never done much to anything he disliked exscept maybe be gomorrah. And they came out publically and said "it is the damnation of god" aids research stalled for many years as it was the "gay" disease.. and then heterosexuals got it and the entire proof that this was god's anti gay disease collapsed and their still a bit sensative about it.. so they say "well the risk isnt tha same'
You see the same thing with faith and bush./. people will argue with yoiu and when you finally prove them wrong they will say something like "clinton did it too" as if, even though they are wrong, they can be a bit less wrong by bringing up some factoid.

Here's an article about Arkansas' role in the spread of AIDS as tainted blood was tracked and eliminated by the Nations of the world Arkansas prisoners were still selling tainted blood. The hypocrisies matched only by the criminal negligence, former Arkansas Governors Clinton and Huckabee, both with tainted blood on their hands.

"During 1981-2, the number of AIDS cases in the United States reported to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta grew at an alarming rate. The vast majority of the reported cases were of homosexual men and intravenous drug abusers. During 1982, cases of AIDS transmitted through the use of blood and blood products began to be reported. The U.S. blood and plasma centers regularly collected from two groups of persons who were at high risk of contracting AIDS: homosexual men and prison inmates. Plasma was collected at centers, licensed by the Food and Drug Administration, in prisons in Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. By way of contrast, because of the high prevalence of hepatitis B in prisons, the Canadian Red Cross Society had stopped collecting donations from prison inmates in 1971."

Suzi Parker, writing in the Arkansas Times, described the scene: "At the Cummins Unit of the Arkansas penal system during the 1980s, while President Clinton was still governor, inmates would regularly cross the prison hospital's threshold to give blood, lured by the prospect of receiving $7 a pint. The ritual was creepy to behold: Platoons of prisoners lying supine on rows of cots, waiting for the needle-wielding prisoner orderly to puncture a vein and watch the clear bags fill with blood. Administrators than sold the blood to brokers, who in turned shipped it to other sates and to Japan, Italy, Spain and Canada. Despite repeated warnings from the Food and Drug Administration, Arkansas kept its prison plasma program running until 1994 when it became the very last state to cease selling its prisoners' plasma.

\ Dying for profits the hallmark of America's elected leaders and media darling candidates.

The number of HIV/AIDS cases in the straight community is higher than in the GLBTQ community. The difference is that in the GLBTQ there is a higher concentration, and so perceptually it appears that more GLBTQ people are infected with the virus/disease. This fact conflicts to a lot of mainstream rightist discourse on the virus/disease.

Many people look at gayness/homosexuality as a stage of human development that is destined to extinction. This is where the cries of AIDS as a gay disease and the actions that are rationalized around it emanate from. I can not speak as eloquently on this subject as others; here is what E. K. Sedgwick has to say:

The lineaments of openly genocidal malice behind this fantasy appear only occasionally in the respectable media, though they can be glimpsed even there behind the poker-face mask of our national experiment in laissez-faire medicine. A better, if still deodorized, whiff of that malice comes from the famous pronouncement of Pat Robertson: "AIDS is God's way of weeding his garden."

It is important to connect the dots between pronouncements such as Huckabee's and Robertson's. Especially if there statements can be so easily aligned to what is imagined as a "gay genocide".

Many people look at gayness/homosexuality as a stage of human development that is destined to extinction.

Others look at some number of gender alterations as an effect of toxic exposure and hormone disrupting chemicals in the food and environment in addition to the natural variations of some God given characteristics.

problem i think is guiliani the guy who was supposed to run against hilary, now has toooo much bagage to overcome.

Historically if you look at the facts AIDS has been a lot more prevalent in the gay community but I wouldn't go as far to say that gays are a public health issue.

Yeah, I guess Africa is full of gay people..

Do you really think that the American left uncritically supports Fidel Castro's policies? If so, what evidence lead you to believe that?

A person can have major disagreements with someone but acknowledge their success in one area. I think only a small number of people in the US take Cuba as a model for our society. Its more like even a poor, authoritarian country like Cuba provides better health care than the US.

it's an important quality for a president to admit that he was wrong and change his mind based on new information

Here here!

where and what does he admit to? as far as it is concerend, he appears to have changed his stance on the issue, not admit to anything.

it's an important quality for a president to admit that he was wrong and change his mind based on new information

Even if you are right that he was just changing his mind based on new information (political convenience is probably a better explanation); this doesn't justify removing whole parts of the population, and quarantining them. To believe that there is some evidence that exists that would justify that is absurd/ignorant at best, but probably closer to openly genocidal.

Sorry, George already holds that title.

Way to go America 4 years ago!

Why stop with AIDS? Let's make a public database of every health issue so that ignorant and fearful employers can more easily discriminate, so that health companies can more easily refuse coverage, and so that our friends and family can know when to avoid us.

Um, what's your last name again John?

So John, what is it about personal responsibility that bothers you so much?

John-213660,

I am without words.

Maybe you are right, we should quarantine all AIDS victims, and we can mark them with pink triangles like Hitler marked gay concentration camp inmates. We should probably round up all of those with Hepatitis and mark them too. What about the people that have depression, they could go crazy a kill someone. Just to be safe we should probably not stop at HIV/AIDS victims, we should round up all the gay people (you know since AIDS tests take 6 months, and there is no way to tell if they are sodomizing each other in the six month window of uncertainty). The reason that nobody talks about this in public is because any REASONABLE person knows that it is morally reprehensible, fascist, and as I said in a comment above: openly genocidal. Shame on you.

GW law professors endorse Thompson

Three GW law professors have endorsed Republican candidate Fred Thompson's campaign for the presidency, joining the Lawyers for Fred coalition.

Professors John Fitzgerald Duffy, Orin Kerr and Michael Abramowicz are members of the Law Professors Committee within the coalition

------------------------------------------

"In campaigns you try to find different coalitions of like-minded people, whether it's by ethnic group or by a profession or gender," Ng said. "Whatever it is, you form these groups that will work to convince others in their group to support a candidate, such is the example with Lawyers for Fred. They understand that he is the best person for the job and that's why they support him." Duffy, a GW law professor, said that the Lawyers for Fred coalition allows lawyers, politicians and professors to support Fred Thompson, although there are no requirements for volunteering or working for the campaign in light of joining the committee.

"It's a matter of what (members of the coalition) can do," Ng said. "In this group, there are people helping to develop policy, helping to develop contributors, and some people who only have time to write a check … as a minimum they've agreed to have their name listed as an endorser, and that in itself is huge."

Fred's a little to on the lazy side for my taste. He started late, he's reportedly late to just about everything his staffers schedule excluding the debates.

He's worst then John Wayne with the slow southern draw and he seems many times unsure of himself and sleepy.

Now, I can understand the lack of energy, the man's wife is a whole lot younger then he, but hey...swallow some vitamins with that Viagra. He's not on the set in Hollywood, do some work...you know...the campaign trail...show up on time at scheduled rallies...and he's an actor...he should at least act like he knows what he's talking about.

Overall...I don't think this guy stands a snowball chance in hell of winning the Republican nomination let alone the Presidency of these United States.

Anyway good luck with your man, I hope he finds his compass.

what can I say!

Apparently a whole lot...
