Huckabee and AIDS...oh boy.

A friend sent me this link:

"Huckabee Stands by AIDS Statement"
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/09/AR2007120900585.html

Basically, this article details how Mike Huckabee once advocated quarantining people with HIV/AIDS.
Last time I checked you could NOT get HIV/AIDS by being near, touching, or kissing someone with HIV/AIDS. But I haven't checked in awhile.
This is ridiculous! Really? I didn't realize that HIV/AIDS was a political issue. I wonder if the Republican Party has an official stance...

For those interested, here is the original article:
