And Huckabee still says "based on the data in 1992..." refusing to justsay he was wrong. Apparently he lost some brain matter along with his weight....
Chandon, even IF Huckabee was moving to demonstrate an intolerance to the GLBT community, to dispel that, it ought to be true that those who are in that community and any others who know that HIV/AIDS is not a gay disease ought not claim Huckabee's intolerance to gay people now as his reason for suggesting that AID's patients be quarantined. Take the merits or lack thereof strictly on the basis of his claim to suggest that for AID's patients, not gay people. Since he did not say to quarantine gay people.

You are, yourself lumping gay with AID's by your judgement against Huckabee. And though you may be right, that is another issue then to counter him about. But his proposal did not say to quarantine Gay people.

And I wonder if people who were AID's patients would be quarantined, if that would be a good way to prove that the majority are not gay? Though I am not in favor of the quarantine, I am just saying is all.
