Comments on: Authentic Stupidity http://larison.org/2008/01/14/authentic-stupidity/ n. the principle of good order "Observe the strange inversion of all order and sense! Dignity debased; how vilely is the function of a consul prostituted!" ~The Craftsman Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:54:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Zarathustra http://larison.org/2008/01/14/authentic-stupidity/#comment-8536 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 01:25:05 +0000 http://larison.org/2008/01/14/authentic-stupidity/#comment-8536 While the video was rife with tendentious over-readings and outright mendacity, the claim that Gov. Huckabee called for homosexuals to be quarantined is especially risible. Huckabee did call for HIV-positive individuals to be placed under isolation, but not gays and lesbians. In any case, it's increasingly clear that the left establishment (but not the Democratic Party) is scared out their wits that Huckabee's economic populism could carry him to victory in the general election. As a small-government conservative and a Paul supporter I hate to admit it, but they are almost certainly right.
