Scientific McCarthyism: Is The Bush Admin Compiling a Hit List of AIDS Sci

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Scientists?

A list of over 150 scientists researching a wide range of topics related to health and sexuality, including HIV/AIDS, has been compiled and given to federal officials by a conservative advocacy group and is being used in attempts to discredit the researchers and challenge or revoke their federal grants.

The list of about $100 million in grants was prepared last summer by the Traditional Values Coalition, which claims to represent 43,000 churches nationwide.

3. AIDS Research, AIDS Prevention, Stem Cell Research... THEY ARE ALL

THEY ARE ALL SICK SICK CRUEL BASTARDS.

And even now they have the NERVE to suggest that Reagan's "they lived in sin, the'll die in sin" comment was a lie. HA!

This is what they all belive. What vomitous bags of bile.

5. Every day a new assault from Bush

It's as if this is the rapture dreamed of by the right wing,with hate-driven losers seizing the entire government.

From the article:

The list is being used by the coalition and its government allies in attempts to discredit the researchers and challenge or revoke their federal grants. The list is circulating among members of Congress and was forwarded to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is responsible for awarding the crucially important grants. NIH is now asking these scientists to provide additional justification for their work.

It's as truly if all the once-shunned, avoided, disliked, crude, jealous, envious, malicious, emotionally primitive, personally odd children of the 50's and 60's and 70's are merging into one political mass. If we're patient enough, their sheer unworthiness will eventually drag them down!

6. Galileo Galilei

Suffered in vain. We are at the cusp of another dark age my friends. Conservatism smothered knowledge 500 years ago and it is trying to do it again.
Conservatism is the reptilian brain, the evil dark that haunts us all.
The four horsemen of the Apocolypse: bush*, cheney, wolfowitz, rumsfeld.

7. If anyone does not believe....

that this country is on a fast track to an unbelievable regime of repression, fascism, and corruption, think again. This, along with everything else these freaking hate mongers continue to push ought to be proof positive. I really fear for the future of this country. It ain't gonna be pretty, no indeed.
