Mike Huckabee, just another Jesus talking, evil walking disingenuous politician!
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — 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."
As a candidate for a U.S. Senate seat in 1992, Huckabee answered 229 questions submitted to him by The Associated Press. Besides a quarantine, Huckabee suggested that Hollywood celebrities fund AIDS research from their own pockets, rather than federal health agencies.
In 1992, Huckabee wrote, "If the federal government is truly serious about doing something with the AIDS virus, we need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague."
"Medical protocol typically says that if you have a disease for which there is no cure, and you are uncertain about the transmission of it, then the first thing you do is that you quarantine or isolate carriers," Huckabee said.
When Huckabee wrote his answers in 1992, it was common knowledge that AIDS could not be spread by casual contact. In late 1991, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there were 195,718 AIDS patients in the country and that 126,159 people had died from the syndrome.
Also in the wide-ranging AP questionnaire in 1992, Huckabee said, "I feel homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle, and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk."
Mike Huckabee, just another Jesus talking, evil walkin , disingenuous homophob!
Evidently "Bible-believing," Rev., Pastor Huckabee has yet to read that Jesus healed the lepers (Luke 17:11-19).
Huckabee sounds more like the scribes and Pharisees who would rather isolate them in leper colonies. Huckabee would call them AIDS colonies.
No doubt Huckabee would justify that as God's punishment for their sin of homosexuality.
So much for Huckabee loving thy neighbor as thyself.
