Liberal Stupidity on Helms

Yggy comments on a quote from Ed Kilgore, which includes this:

When the AIDS epidemic emerged in the 1980s, Helms began an extended and violently worded campaign to "protect" Americans from the "perverts" whose "disgusting" habits were responsible for AIDS, while attacking efforts to find effective treatments.

While attacking efforts to find effective treatments would be bad (although I have a feeling that that is a rather uncharitable reading of Helms' position), I fail to see how the first part of Helms position is actually wrong in any way, despite the myriad efforts to portray AIDS as a "equal opportunity disease."

What the left is really upset about here is that Helms did not buy into the politically correct lie that HIV did not discriminate.

Good for Helms and to heck with the lying liberals.

That is all.
