Huckabee Wanted to Isolate AIDS Patients
Dec 9th
Alan Colmes (Hannity and Colmes, Alan Colmes Show) brings this to my attention from now Republican Presidential frontrunner Mike Huckabee.
Mike Huckabee once advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general public, opposed increased federal funding in the search for a cure and said homosexuality could “pose a dangerous public health risk.”
At the time Huckabee was saying these things it was common knowledge that AIDS could not be spread by casual contact. Nevertheless, he also said,
“I feel homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle, and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk.” Source
Not only is this guy a neo-conservative, he is homophobic and offensive to those who have different lifestyle choices than that of his own. This guy is not Presidential material if he cannot represent all Americans, not just straight ones.

Nice to have a liberal who speaks his mind with a spine and unlike his right wing competitors he speaks with authority, facts and intelligence.
