AMA Head Likens Gays To Coca Cola Or Rape
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/02/021505nyMed.htm

The president of the American Medical Association has come to the defense of New York Medical College under attack for banning a gay students group from campus.

In an interview with the Westchester Journal News AMA President John Nelson said as a private institution the college has the right to set and enforce its own policies.

Nelson then said that the school was acting no differently than Brigham Young University in banning Coca-Cola from campus or its suspending of four athletes accused of raping a 17-year-old girl.

1. Ugh. Coca-Cola is a choice and rape is a violent crime.
A lot of doctors refuse to join AMA anymore, considering it an extortion of fees to belong to a political organization which has lost its sense of service to the medical community.

Nelson should have kept his mouth shut and be thought stupid, rather than to open it and remove all doubt.

2. What an idiot.
Would he say the same thing if the school banned a Hispanic student group?
