Unfortunately, the Right (especially the Christian Right), has developed a very
hard skin when it comes to criticism about their treatment of AIDS and AIDS
deaths: it's as if they've never heard the facts about AIDS not being a
"gay disease" and stories about their own hard-hearted
Fundamentalists and Southern Baptists. For over 30 years, the Right has used
AIDS and its deaths as political tools against the poor and the LGBT community,
while giving itself kudos for "tolerance" if anyone survived the
epidemic.
In 2006, PBS' Frontline produced an in depth series titled The Age Of AIDS. It's long, but
riveting and chronicles the hopes and dreams of researchers like Joep Lange and
the quest to politicize the crisis by politicians and Christian Right groups
alike (think George H.W. Bush during the Republican Convention).
Sad to say, Bryan Fischer is still not alone in his attempts to feed the
righteous arrogance of himself and his supporters: if any form of AIDS-phobic
or homophobic motive comes to light...
Fischer will be crowing.
