re: #293 Charles

Glenn Beck is planning to feature lunatic climate denier/fraud Christopher Monckton this coming week: Glenn Beck (glennbeck) on Twitter

Remember when Monckton said:

“there is only one way to stop AIDS. That is to screen the entire population regularly and to quarantine all carriers of the disease for life. Every member of the population should be blood-tested every month … all those found to be infected with the virus, even if only as carriers, should be isolated compulsorily, immediately, and permanently.”

Good times. At least we can credit Monckton for inspiring the creation of V for Vendetta:

Based on a graphic novel (aren’t all movies these days?) by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, V for Vendetta was originally a reaction against Thatcherite Britain, fueled by tabloid fantasies that inspired Moore to claim in the introduction to the book that Thatcher and her cronies were poised to stamp out homosexuality in Britain and, in fact, were building concentration camps in which they intended to house HIV-positive patients.

Also and off topic, I’m trying to claw my way back to a 2:1 karma to comment ratio, so if anybody out there enjoyed this bit of trivia, don’t forget to tip your waiter.
