Magic Johnson and the Fake AIDS

Langdon Perry, a conservative talking-head radio host in Minneapolis on KTLK offered up an interesting tidbit of opinion during his Wednesday radio show. While talking with a caller about education issues Perry and his co-host, Chris Baker, seamlessly segued from education to diseases and then Perry off-hand decides to toss out Magic Johnson; Perry is convinced that Johnson has faked having AIDS. Of course he did. After all, why WOULDN’T a Hall-of-Fame basketball legend want to publicly come out as being afflicted with a deadly disease that sparks revulsion and fear amongst a large majority of the (conservative) population. Makes perfect sense to me! Just another example of those Compassionate Conservatives I suppose. Never mind that Johnson has NEVER had AIDS but does have HIV, but then, why let facts get in the way of scurrilous rumor.
