Lord Christopher Monckton- Climate Denier-quarantining AIDS patients "for life"

[Ichingcarpenter]

Media Matters Action Network, our partner organization, has unearthed a 1987 American Spectator article (available here) in which Lord Christopher Monckton -- one of the right's favorite global warming deniers -- advocates requiring the entire population to undergo monthly HIV tests and forcibly quarantining "for life" those who test positive.





You would think that such views would have made Monckton a marginal figure. But apparently there are no views too extreme for the right-wing media.

1. For our rightwing media..

.. nothing is too extreme. For them.. the more
extreme the better.

It keeps people distracted and gulls the ignorant
into more ignorance, fear, and hate.

2. I've had debates with DUers who support this ass hat

and use him as an authority... He's not, he doesn't even have a degree
related to science. His degree is in Latin and Greek

Beck and Limpberg use him all the time as an authority... he's not

3. I think this was done with people who had Hansen's (leprosy) disease.

The problem is that it would break the economy is you did this. What are you going to do with related diseases?
