On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace grilled Republican hopeful Ron Paul over passages in his 1987 book Freedom Under Siege, in which he had wrote “The individual suffering from AIDS certainly is a victim – frequently a victim of his own lifestyle – but this same individual victimizes innocent citizens by forcing them to pay for his care,”, Wallace asked if Paul still felt that way.

President Barack Obama was in Massachusetts today helping out Governor Deval Patrick‘s reelection effort. Speaking at a campaign rally earlier today, however, he was met with a bit of a road bump– hecklers who objected to the amount of AIDS research funding his administration has so far provided. To which an angry President Obama retorted: “look at what the Republican leadership has to say about AIDS funding.”

Part one of my interview with WorldNetDaily correspondent and radio host Les Kinsolving was really just the tip of the iceberg. In parts 2 and three of our interview, Les opens up about some of the touchstones of his extraordinary career, including his experiences as the first Jim Jones whistleblower, his place in the history of the AIDS epidemic, and his quest to see the President’s birth certificate. Amid a host of seeming contradictions, he also talks about being pro-choice and anti-death penalty.

It tries, in many ways, to be predictive; to isolate still-germinating concepts [...]

Let it never be said that scientific researchers don’t have a good sense of timing for public relations. Just announced: strands of feline DNA have been found in the AIDS virus, indicating that it may have been incubated in a species of big cat. Like a Tiger. Google Ads was quick to recognize the cross-over [...]

Conservative World Net Daily reporter and talk show host Lester Kinsolving asked Robert Gibbs this hilariously loaded question at yesterday’s White House briefing.

Gibbs’ answer displayed the wit that some critics say results in too-frequent laughter in the briefing room, and cut right to the heart of the matter.

Everyone was stunned at the tactlessness of the World Wildlife Fund ad depicting an apocalyptic September 11th scene, but that’s practically “Time to Make the Donuts” compared with this new print ad/video combo that compares AIDS to Hitler. The copy on the ad reads “AIDS is a Mass Murderer” in ominous all caps under a groping mid-coitus Hitler and includes the demand “Protect Yourself!” before linking to Aids-is-a-Mass-Murderer.com.
