Huckabee refuses to retract old-fashioned AIDS views

Republican presidential nominee Mike Huckabee refused to retract a statement he made in 1992, in which he recommended isolation for people with AIDS. During his failed run for a U.S. Senate seat in Arkansas, Huckabee said steps should be taken to "isolate the carriers of this plague".

In a recent interview, he said he probably would not make the same statement today, especially because of what it known about how the HIV virus is transmitted. However, he insisted that he still believe that what he said fifteen years ago was more out of political correctness.

"Would I say things a little differently in 2007? Probably so," Huckabee told Fox News. "But I’m not going to recant or retract from the statement that I did make because, again, the point was not saying we ought to lock people up who have HIV/ AIDS."

He, however, did not explain how individuals with HIV would have been quarantined.

Huckabee was also under fire for his criticism back in 1992 about what he called "too much money" being allocated to AIDS research compared to other diseases. He claims now that he favors spending billions on AIDS research.

  1. Wow, marvelous blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you make blogging look easy. The overall look of your web site is great, let alone the content!

  2. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
