Dr. Bryan Fischer: Those With HIV Should Be 'Quarantined Like Ebola Patients'

[big_dog]

During his "Meet The Press" interview yesterday, President Obama said that the United States would begin providing military support to the effort to control the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, which Bryan Fischer cited on his radio program today in order to argue that people with HIV should be quarantined as a public health measure. Claiming that if both Ebola and HIV are spread through the exchange of bodily fluids, then the same steps should be taken to protect the public in both cases, Fischer asserted that "this is how liberals will always betray, when they don't realize what they're doing, they will betray the reality that they are fundamentally conservative at the core." "Here's President Obama saying when you've got a public health crisis that is caused by a virus that is transmitted through the exchange of bodily fluids, what do you do?" Fischer asked. "You quarantine it! You even use military assets, if needed, to quarantine the people who have that virus so they cannot transmit it and spread it among the rest of the population": - See more at: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/fischer-those-hiv-should-be-quarantined-ebola-patients#sthash.1xRHYCL3.dpuf

1. Why don't we quarantine religious bigots like Bryan Fischer?

Their hate and stupidity is far more contagious and affects far,more people!

2. when hate meets ignorance, we often get comments like this.

and there is a whole contingent of listeners ready to lap it up and nourish their own bigotry and hate.

4. heh heh... Dr.

I really think we need to find a way to distinguish actual achievement toward a PhD or MD from the fucking nutjobs that pull one out of their asses at some theological degree mill.

Dr(!) Bryan Fischer.

5. Various and even elected Republicans have suggested this since the early days of AIDS

Huckabee suggested that steps be taken to ' "isolate the carriers of this plague" in an AP interview when he was running for the Senate in 1992. He defended his stance as recently as 2007.

8. What institution did "Dr. Bryan" get his

degree from - the "Close cover before striking School of Divinity"??

9. I believe his degree is in Stark Raving Stupidity.

And he's certainly piled it higher and deeper in that field.
