Tennessee (GOP State Senator) Bigot: AIDS Caused By One Monkey-Loving Airline Pilot

[kpete]

Tennessee State Senator Stacey Campfield said:

Most people realize that AIDS came from the homosexual community — it was one guy screwing a monkey, if I recall correctly, and then having sex with men. It was an airline pilot, if I recall. My understanding is that it is virtually — not completely, but virtually — impossible to contract AIDS through heterosexual sex…very rarely (transmitted).

1. Stacey Campfield is insane.

Thankfully, he's not my state senator - my district is just down the road from this loon and my state senator is a Democrat.

2. You can say stuff like that about LGBTIQ people

And get away w/ it.

It's horrifying but that's our reality.

3. Wow. What a nutcase. Way too many of them in the GOP.

How about the senator in OK who wants to ban aborted fetuses in food? LOL

4. BTW, this is the same guy who proposed the "Don't Say Gay"

legislation (which is back, unfortunately).

The one George Takei took over and said, "Don't Say Gay, Just Say Takei."

5. To be fair

he probably just watched Seth MacFarlane's Cartoon Cavalcade of Comedy. And as everyone knows, EVERYTHING you see on TV is true. Even if it's animated.

6. There is a nugget of truth on the pile of horseshit.

For a long time, a flight attendant who worked for a Canadian airline was widely considered to be "Patient Zero" for North American cases of AIDS. That particular claim had been contested and is now widely discredited, but the information was out there at one point.

Of course, the monkey intercourse is laughable, as are most of his other claims about AIDS.
