Huckabee's 1992 AIDS "quarantine" comment |
|
I just heard him say that he stands by his comment, in 1992, that AIDS infected people should be quarantined. He based his justification for making that outrageous statement on his claim that "we didn't know how it was transmitted".
What planet was this idiot living on? Magic Johnson came out in 1991 and we were well aware, by then, how HIV/AIDS was transmitted. Why isn't the press calling him out on this nonsensical blabber?

Off-record, I've been known to describe Republicans in coarse terms.
Especially the far-right fundie variety.
