A Purpose Driven A-Hole!

When confronted with his rampant homophobia, Obama inauguration preacher (and dude who can't really say no to food) Rick Warren always brings up his work against AIDS in Africa to say, "see, I'm not a bad guy! I don't really hate homosexuals! " That of course ignores the fact that in Africa AIDS in an overwhelmingly heterosexual disease. Anyway, it turns out that his work against AIDS in Africa has hit a few snags. Max Blumenthal from The Daily Beast, reports that AIDS infection rates in Uganda, formerly the posterboy of African AIDS prevention, are on the rise. This is due to Ugandan fundies, with help from Republicans and American fundies (including Warren) undermining effective, proven condom-based AIDS education and replacing it with abstinence-only education, which all sane people know does not work worth a damn.
