WASHINGTON - GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said Sunday he won’t run from his statement 15 years ago that AIDS patients should have been isolated.

Huckabee acknowledged the prevailing scientific view then, and since, that the virus that causes AIDS is not spread through casual contact, but said that was not certain. He cited revelations in 1991 that a dentist had infected a patient in an extraordinary case that highlighted the risk of infection through contact with blood or bodily fluids.

“I still believe this today,” he said in a broadcast interview, that “we were acting more out of political correctness” in responding to the AIDS crisis. “I don’t run from it, I don’t recant it,” he said of his position in 1992. Yet he said he would state his view differently in retrospect. (emphasis mine)

The article also states:

Huckabee stated his 1992 positions in an AP questionnaire in which he also called homosexuality “an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle.”

Strong words, coming from an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful person! I mean, Mike is aberrant in that his Christian faith is on the decline, (departing from the usual course), unnatural in that he pushes for ID over Darwin, and sinful in that his own religion states “judge not lest ye be judged“. And poor ol’ Mike has done a lot of judging in his time!
