#1 GOP lawmaker: Virtually impossible to get AIDS via heterosex

Post by frigidmagi »

Raw Story
Tennessee state Sen. Stacey Campfield (R) falsely claimed on Thursday that it was nearly impossible for someone to contract AIDS through heterosexual contact.

“Most people realize that AIDS came from the homosexual community,” he told Michelangelo Signorile, who hosts a radio program on SiriusXM OutQ. “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.”

It is generally accepted that at some point HIV crossed species from chimps to humans, but there is no evidence that this was caused by bestiality. Rick Sowadsky of the Nevada State Health Division AIDS program noted in 1998 that it highly unlikely that HIV was transmitted through inter-species sexual contact, given the behavior of chimps and the differences between the sexual anatomy of humans and other primates.

According to the the Center for Disease Control, male-to-male sexual contact has been the most common way to transmit AIDS, followed by injection drug use and heterosexual sex.

Campfield briefly gained national attention in 2011 when he introduced legislation that critics derided as “the don’t say gay bill.”

“[Homosexuals] do not naturally reproduce,” he told Signorile. “It has not been proven that it is nature. It happens in nature, but so does beastiality. That does not make it right or something we should be teaching in school.”
What? I? How? Did you just make that up? OH COME ON!

What is this? Some sort of bet? Is there some secret wager running around the GOP where the man (or woman) who is the most pants on head, drooling, slack jawed full on retarded and still gets elected wins 500 million or something? Cause unlike what I've been reading for the last week... THAT'S AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS SHIT THAT MAKES SENSE!

Where does this even come from!?!

Look, my parents are Pentecostal Ministers! I grew up in a hothouse of Fundamentalist Christian thought! I learned to debate the merits of Liberation Theology before I was 12! My house had Jack Chick tracts in them from the earliest time I can remember (the battiest members of the congregation kept leaving them at the house, drove my mother insane, she hates them) This shit isn't from that! Your average fundie preacher damn well wants you know that you can catch AIDs from the opposite sex! In face he wants you think that if you have sex with anyone who you aren't married to, you will magically catch 30 different diseases at once while turning into a crazed deviant with no friends, loved ones or life addicted to porn and whores and you will die alone and afraid... Oh yes and you will get all the girls pregnant (that's right... ALL OF THEM! AT ONCE! AND YOU WON'T HAVE FUN EITHER!) and have to support those kids.

At no point did any of them tell me "Now remember Garvin, banging Susie rotten crotch is much safer then engaging in eval homo butt sex!!!1!"

Virtually impossible... Where the fuck have you been! Shit! I'm getting Magic Johnson on the phone! Hey Magic, you didn't have to retire (well honestly he didn't but you know what I mean)! Apparently you never had AIDS according to this dipshit!

No, really this is starting to get to me... Where is this foundation that somehow managed to hide itself throughout my entire childhood bubbling up from!?! Who is responsible for this bullshit? Who managed to wedge their damn skull so far up their damn ass that their liquid, bubbling farts are mistaken for actual communication?

They really are on a roll this month.

When I was in my late teens, a local elementary teacher got shitcanned for telling her students that AIDS came from Africans having sex with monkeys. Versions of that sick legend have been floating since, well, AIDS was first identified.
