What do you think of Huckabee's comments on AIDS, back in 1992?

As a Senate candidate in 1992, Huckabee told the AP in a questionnaire that "we need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague" if the federal government was going to deal with the spread of the disease effectively. "It is the first time in the history of civilization in which the carriers of a genuine plague have not been isolated from the general population, and in which this deadly disease for which there is no cure is being treated as a civil rights issue instead of the true health crisis it represents," he said then.

What do you think of Huckabee's comments on AIDS, back in 1992?
I think he's wrong. I think we all simply need to be educated about the disease.
