Barack Obama was shouted down by liberal AIDS activists while campaigning to rally Democrats in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Saturday afternoon. This is only the latest, further mortifying episode of normally pro-Democrat hecklers who have defiantly shouted down Obama at one of his event stops designed to "fire up" a Democrat Party that seems increasingly fractured and disunited as the midterms approach. Obama was last shouted down by liberal and very militant AIDS activists only two weeks ago when he was campaigning on behalf of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. Liberal AIDS activists seem to be following Obama around from event to event, constituting a pattern that indicates both the unpopularity of the president as well as his impotence to inspire his own group of core voters.

Way back when Obama was teaching young activists the Rules for Radicals - I wonder if he knew that one day they would be using these tactics AGAINST him? Heh
He tries to mollify the protestors by saying the Democrat party if funding global AIDS, while 'the other side' isn't.
The protestors should have just chanted, "YOU." "LIE." It would have been more accurate.
Of course, 0 blithely ignores Bush's President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief, which put billions into global AIDS assistance.
Of course, 0 probably voted, "present" when THAT bill came up, so he wouldn't remember it.
Some people remain in the stone age because they have stone age brains!
I don't know if I trust the Washington Post to report Obama's Senate voting record without manipulating it- but for what it's worth- he appears to be listed as 'not voting' on every bill or motion that has anything to do with AIDS/HIV, except for one continuing resolution.

We all know what causes aids and how to stop it but some folks do not want to stop their aberrant, hedonistic behavior and no amount of "funding" is going to change that.
AIDS money funds the radical left sexual agenda and political action. It is a honey pot for leftists in the UN and the US. Funding research in the US at a reasonalbe level is one thing, but continuing to pour buckets of money into leftist social engineering is a disaster for the US.
In addition, we do not have the money to fund the world anymore; no one votes in the US for foreign entanglements and wealth transfer shake downs. It is a betrayal for our government officials to have such deep and lasting foreign entanglements and loyalities. With globalism, it has degenerated into disloyality to the American people and our country.
That would have been the time to legitimately blame Bush. He spent more money on AIDS in Africa than anyone else on the planet ever.
They can’t expect BHO to live up to that.
Exactly.
It’s fun when conservatives can just sit back and watch the Marxists tear each other apart unabated.
I have a question. What exactly are AIDS activists demanding now? That we allow those infected with HIV to give blood? That we spend even MORE billions of dollars on a disease that could be utterly eradicated by simply modifying behavior? That we legislate more extorted "compassion" for those who willfully chase and acquire this disease?
What!?
obama care is destroying aids treatment
That being said, you are right -- in many cases it probably is a matter of gratification.
Maybe what they really need is not AIDS medicine, but cable TV . . . .
