Huckabee Wanted to Quarantine Americans With AIDS?

Ugh, the more I learn about this guy, the more appalling I learn he is. I didn't think there was a Republican candidate (a real one, not a Hunter or Tancredo) I could like less than Rduy or Mitt, but Huckabee is giving them a run for it.

Huckabee responds. It would appear that he was poorly informed on key issues in 1992 as he is on key issues in 2007. The notion that there was any kind of scientific consenses then that would call for quarantines is ... well, a lie. And implying that opposition to quarantines is nothing more than "political correctness" is the kind of authoritarian statement that you'd expect of a Stalin (or some such person). And he chose not to qualify or retract his anti-gay statements at all. This is the "nice guy" in the Republican field?
