Elizabeth Dole wants to rename AIDS bill after Jesse Helms! wtf?
July 17th 2008 03:22
What the hell? Elizabeth Dole, (R-NC) put forth an amendment to rename an AIDS relief bill to honor the recently departed Jesse Helms. Yes, you heard right - Jesse Helms. Conservative double-speak would have us believe that Bush is a good president, giving away the treasury to the rich is a grand idea, invading Iraq was to keep us "safe," and Karl Rove is a genius. Now, in one more outrage of idiotic double-speak, Elizabeth Dole wants to deliver a slap in the face of AIDS relief efforts by attaching said relief to the memory of a vile and hateful man.
Yes, she has every right to speak, as did he, and yes -as do I, when I say, go screw yourself, Mrs. Dole! She wants to amend the bill that is to authorize appropriations from 2009 through 2013 to provide assistance to foreign countries to combat HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria. She wants to add the name of Jesse Helms, perhaps the most infamous gay-basher in Senate history.
The same Jesse Helms who, in arguing against re-funding the Ryan White Act, said that AIDS should not get funding because they got sick from their "deliberate, disgusting, and revolting conduct." He proved himself not only a hate-monger but an idiot with that one, as Ryan White, the boy who the act was named after, got HIV from a tainted blood transfusion.
He also once said "There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy." I might say that most bad policies in America can be traced to brain dead redneck idiots, but that would just be my view.
