Doctors in Germany believe they have cured a 42-year-old man of HIV after giving him a stem cell transplant three years ago, apparent Halloween-novelty medical journal Blood reports. Well isn’t this just great news for the Gay Agenda. Germany, as we all know, is where the Nazis came from, so it should come as no surprise that they have teamed up with something so librul as stem cells to figure out something so evil as curing a disease that has killed so many people gay people. If the Gay Agenda has found a cure for HIV/AIDS, the American Family Association and Bryan Fischer are simply going to melt, because it will mean there is no longer a “justification” for making gay sex illegal.
Timothy Ray Brown, an HIV-positive American living in Germany, had leukemia and was undergoing chemotherapy, when he received a transplant of stem cells from a donor carrying a rare, inherited gene mutation associated with a reduced risk HIV.
Ronald Reagan is so pissed right now. He loved AIDS and hated stem cells. How soon we forget.
You always get something sinister when you combine the Gay Agenda and elite, too-educated people, like doctors. Stem cells, after all, are children who weren’t allowed to be born because of libruls. And yet the gays still got to them. [Fox News]

If he's still gay, he's not cured.
But he does look fabulous!
Right.
Remember: AIDS is just a symptom of the underlying disease. Just like bitchiness. Or a career in Hollywood. Or being a happily-married middle-aged Republican Senator.
Or a simple-minded bigot.
Fetus bits can cure the gay! Republican heads are going to explode.
Fetus bits with mutant genes! Mutant genes! Impure in so many delicious ways!
no feti for fags is the new no blood for oil.
Until they start curing Rep(tilian) heart attacks, etc.
How wonderful is this, not only a cure, but one that is guaran-fucking-teed to piss the social conservative set off beyond all comprehension! I just feel tingly all over, and even in places that advances in medical science shouldn't make me feel tingly in. May their pointy little haids blow clean off at the neck and shoot blood and bile all over, even if it is a mess.
the American Family Association and Bryan Fischer are simply going to melt.
Hooray! Who Will Jesus Hate now?
Muslins. The only cure for Muslins is BBQ.
Judging by how things are going with the Muslin BBQs we're providing in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, it appears to be a pretty slow cure.
Texas is the most Republican place I know and they BBQ brisket. Are Texans secretly Muslins?
Unfortunately, they will not melt or go away.
Everyone else, I think.
The bottom line is that nowhere in the constitution do you find the term "stem cell". I'll leave it to Michele "Parallel Porking" Bachmann and her classroom of constitutional taco benders to review this matter further.
You can't find "Jesus," either, but that's never stopped anybody before.
Why I heard the found his image on a Taco Shell just the other day. The European Blonde Jesus, not that funky dark skinned Mediterranean one.
oh sure EVERYBODY thinks the blonde one is hotter (of course blondes are just stoopid!)
It is amusing to watch the occasional bit of news out of Israel about Palestinians: The guys that are flinging rocks look a whole lot like what Jesus should have appeared than all of the "peaches and cream" Jesuses that popped up since the middle ages. If the real thing ever came up to them saying bring the little children to me, most "Christians" would wrap a 9 iron around the Lords' head.
The lack of AK-47 hasn't slowed the Bachmaniacs down either.
But are there any cures for precious, precious snowflakes? Because shoveling the driveway was a pain this morning.
Imagine how much worse it would have been if those had all been stem cells.
Sometimes, the cure is worse than the disease.
or worse, fetuses (feti?) that'd be a mess to clean up…
Wait till the thaw
Salt
Heatmiser has your cure.
I think a Quran burning should work.
Global warming.
Curing the sick is just so anti-Christian.
True, but if it proves to be able to cure HIV, it would explain why the Xtians are dead set against it.
They worked hard to get the Raygun Misadministration to release the virus into the general population.
Yeah, no kidding. If Jesus would have passed by this man with AIDS, he'd have been like "Ewww. No." and then went and helped another prostitute as he was allegedly wont to do. Jesus loved the hell out of some "unclean women".
you should watch the "Ex-Leper" skit from Monty Python .. that damn do gooder Jesus
This story has everything that enrages/confuses Teatards – foreigners, socialized medicine, and science.
don't forget racism
“But you also have to find compatible donor that has this genetic defect, and this defect is only found in 1 percent of the Caucasian population and zero percent of the black population. This is very rare.”
Well, they are German doctors.
It's raining Mengele! Hallelujah, it's raining Mengele!
And the gay, don't forget the gay. "Enrages/confuses" is exactly what gay does to Teatards.
Not to mention abortion and teh gheyz and saving the lives of people actually alive now
I call it the Teabagging Trifecta
"Ronald Reagan is so pissed right now. He loved AIDS and hated stem cells. How soon we forget."
The love that dare not speak its name.
Didn't Little Miss "Just Say No" come around to stem cells after St. Ronnie got the old-timer's disease?
Yes, she did! Just as so many pro-lifers find out that maybe one little abortion isn't so bad when their daughter.
And sort of in the same vein, I still can't believe the number of "vegetarians" I've met that will eat fish.
Well, their daughter was a Good Girl who didn't deserve to get pregnant and is a special unique case, unlike all those sluts who should be punished.
And the doctor who performs the procedure should still be shot, of course.
I don't think eating fish and abortions are equivalent even though I am pro-choice and a vegetarian.
And would those "vegetarians" be Catholics, or former ones? The whole "fish is not meat" idea comes from the Church allowing people to eat them on Fridays.
Even then, it was only because the pope's brother was a fishmonger and needed to sell some product.
I usually describe myself as a vegetarian only for brevity. I'm not opposed to eating meat, I just don't most of the time because I feel better physically when i don't. Fish on the other hand doesn't bother me. its just easier when some one asks why you don't want a double anusburger with exta cheese and mayo to say " can't bro I'm vegan"
I thought you were going to say "when their daughter is Patti Davis."
I refuse to eat fish and have had an abortion, never regretted either decision.
I cannot support the use of taxpayer funds to abort fish, however.
Eating fish out of most American watersways will give pregnant women abortions, so it's a win-win, I guess.
I have always thought of the irony of Nancy and her just say no campaign and her sex life in Hollywood.
Reagan loved, most of all, tax cuts for the wealthy. Trickle down. Merry Fucking Christmas, Zombie Reagan.
I'd like to "trickle down" on some teabaggers, maybe after drinking a Mountain Dew Big Gulp and eating a whole plate of asparagus.
They would then be Pea Baggers
I won't be satisfied until scientists put stem cells to work curing this country's insidious plague of stupidity.
Ain't never gonna be a petri dish big enough to brew that up.
"Against stupidity the gods themselves strive in vain!"
Put them to work building that danged fence.
I need the anti-stupid fence built around me. The stupid make mah brain hurt.
Alas, only education is a cure for Teh Stupid.
And beatings! Don't forget beatings!
einstein said it- only one thing in the universe is infinite: human stupidity.
Not to worry, God still hates fags. You know, Phelps is actually one of the better ones, he at least is honest, the rest of them think it, but don't say it, and instead say meaningless shit like "hate the sin, love the sinner." I'll take an honest nazi over a closet nazi any day.
Is that the choice? I'd like my nazis fried, please.
Soup comes with that. Or would you like a House Salad?
NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!
I'll have the Prime Ribbentrop, with a side of Arbeit Macht Fries.
Oh, and for breakfast, the Luftwaffles.
Arbeit Macht Fries made my day.
You should try the glazed Doenitz.
Yeah, but when they tattoo a swastika on their face, they're doing us all a favor, makes it so much easier to identify them.
Soylent Brown shirt.
god hates cigarettes? i thought he smoked chesterfields.
God is a Marlboro Red man, like a real 'Murican.
No, no. Didn't you all get the memo? God is black, and Jesus is mixed-race (God loves him some white wimmenz), and both smoke Newports.
You know people who say that bullshit= hate the sin, love the sinner- actually hate the people they consider sinners. I know anyone who has ever said that is a hypocritical asshole
Hate the hypocrisy, LOVE the asshole!
Well, not literally. (OK, literally.)
That's why I listen to ultra-rightwing radio from time to time (shortwave is far worse than AM!). I want to know what my enemies are up to.
Westboro wept.
Abortion cures AIDS. What's next — blogging cures social dysfunction?
There's no evidence to support that hypothesis.
Well, since teh gayez couldn't out-breed us, their only hope was to find a way to take our precious children and use them for their own health.
Sort of what Dick Cheney does every day.
This is good news for John McCain.
John McCain has AIDS?
John McCain is GAY?
John McCain is German?
No, but pilot John McCain has probably crashed a plane on at least one of all the above.
John McCain has Gay AIDS, or as I like to call them GAIDS?
John McCain has mutant stem cells?
it's always germany's fault.
But if teh Gayez develop a resistance to HIV, how will we keep them in check?
It would be like very, very Urban people developing a resistance to crack. All of that precious CIA money down the drain.
I want to be snarky, but the hope–that there really is a cure–just sucked the snark right out of me.
That, this is one of those stories where it's really hard to add anything to the story itself.
Sadly, this treatment can only be used for a tiny number of people; but this success, if verified, could help scientist on the way to developing a generally applicable cure.
Me, too. And I'm almost beside myself with hope that we can apply this victory to Alzhemiers, cancer etc. Then we can initiate a a birth lottery/licensing to keep the population down the humane way.
But if they try to utilize it to re-animate the rotting corpse of Zombie Alzheimer's ronnie, I'll withdraw all my support.
Oh, who am I kidding, of course they'll try to re-animate ronnie with it…
Does Hope spit or swallow?
Just so you know, his odds of surviving the bone marrow transplant were not good. He was very lucky. The eradication of HIV based on the special properties of the donor tissue's immunity was just a lagniappe.
Let the ass-fucking begin!
Viva la scissoring!
From your lips to my ass.
Begin? When did it ever end?
Suddenly, the Roman Catholics are down with the whole condom thing.
Thirty years ago I wrote what I thought was the ultimate Weekly World News headline: Aliens Use Bigfoot Brain to Cure Liz Taylor's Cancer.
We're almost there.
Just imagine if the cranial fluid of baby harp seals cured cancer…
That's a pretty good one, but my favorite still remains a REAL one I saw in the late '80s: Vatican to Declare: St. Elvis
My fave will forever and always be "Bigfoot Stole My Wife."
Bring back Bat Boy!!!1!!!1
Didn't he just get divorced from Xtina Aguilera?
http://www.dlisted.com/node/39328
Where did Ed Anger end up?
He tried out at Fox News, but they considered him "too moderate."
I so miss seeing the WWN… ;-(
Fare thee well, Batboy. We barely knew you.
Now in this season of reflection, we need to take a moment and thank St. Ronnie for bringing down The Wall and making this all possible!
To Ronnie!
And where, might I ask, am I to hang my mirror now?????? Hunh????
Uh wasn't Poppy Bush Presnit when that wall thingy came down?
yes it was Papa Bush
"Mr. President, Read my lips: Tear down this Wall"
I strongly object to your use of the phrase, "gay people." As we all know, "gays" aren't "people." Otherwise, how could we justify
throwing them in ovenssupporting family values?I think the 'evil nazi Germans' need to be stopped immediately. It is dire. It is a 'hair on fire' moment. If we don't stop this now they may come up with a way to make Raygun alive again. Gobs of people will be anti teh gay and screaming to tear down walls, any walls, all walls. We'll be wall less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course Fox News puts a positive spin on this news:
“This patient is trading one poison for another. He may not have to be on antiretroviral drugs anymore, but he has to take immunosuppressant drugs now to prevent the rejection of his transplant cells. Again, what this is, is an interesting proof of concept, but it’s absolutely impractical.”
Yes, these "bone marrow" transplants that happen every single day are absolutely impractical. Leukemia, schmemia
Got a relative getting a bone marrow transplant right now. It ain't fun, and it ain't cheap, and it hurts in surprising and unsurprising ways. But it beats the shit out of dying.
Big Pharma likes treatments (lifetime annuities to Pfizer, et al) better than cures (one time payment to hospital, doctors, however impoverishing). Fox gets the message loud and clear — it keeps those Plavix ads coming.
But wouldn't they (Fox) then say, "Transplant drugsies for life is highly practical"? I'm confused. (Don't worry, it only hurts a little bit.)
Also, I have a friend who had a double lung transplant. Yeah, taking a bazillion drugs every day for the last 10 years is a smidge impractical, but what with those jumbo-sized "pill-a-day" boxes, she's managed to struggle through. Oh yeah, and did I mention, she's been ALIVE for the last 10 years? Nothing impractical about that.
Transplants? Who ever heard of those?
Seriously, though, that's why the idea of stem cell transplants with your own stem cells (e.g. "therapeutic cloning") is an idea that holds so much promise that it had to be banned by the Republicans. Throw in a little genetic manipulation to fix a broken gene or two, and that's 21st century medicine.
Or, we can just go back to leeches and exorcisms.
Hey, if exorcisms were good enough for Jesus, they are good enough for you, buster!
Bone marrow, liver, kidneys; watch them celebrate when Cheney finally gets his transplanted heart and has to "endure" the immunosuppressant drugs.
For sure, something tells me no one at Fox will call his transplant "absolutely impractical". Instead it will be celebrated as a miracle from zombie jeebus
Do not want. I prefer him having no heartbeat and having to drag around a machine that sounds like a Swedish penis pump attached to him for as long as the rest of his fetid, rotten carcass is alive.
I wouldn't expect Fox (in the hen house) news anchors to know much science. Even if they are not home educated.
better still, the frogs are working on using stem cells derived from fat tissue…I have been editing articles from this research team for the past few years and it is really exciting–instead of bone marrow donation, they just use liposuction donation, whuuuut? It's still in need of some tweaking, but it will be a reality some day soon.
Seriously, hearing stories like this about how evil-science is progressing beyond just boner pills despite being trashed by right-wing fundies makes me giddy in my nether regions.
well i am sure we can get ya giddy in the nether regions without all that pesky science…but yeah fuck jeebusology.
Of course, most of this evil-science progress that's not about getting hard or curing baldness seems to be coming from Europe or Asia these days; good job there W! Oh and the end of the ban on ads for prescription drugs.
But, but we cured Restless Leg Syndrome…USA!!USA!!1!!11
Wonderful boner pills…
Soon Americans will sell their fat the way the Middle East sells oil. It's only a matter of time before WE can buy a World Cup!!
Got a new (to me) kidney this spring. Let me tell you Cellcept and Prograf are a lot more practical than dializing 16 hours a week.
Everything is gay to these homosexual addled folks. They can't get through the day without thinking of the GAY AGENDA.
Anywho the stem cell from a blastocyst is a person like an acorn is an oak tree.
Squirrels bury oak trees in my backyard all the time and my friends and neighbors always look at me cockeyed when I say it that way.
Hey, those acorns are "snowflake trees". Every one is special.
It's not a choice, it's an oak tree!
that would be a great bumpersticker.
PROTECT THE UNSPROUTED
Just don't mention the war!
Since this is a matter of science, I suppose we are spared the usual Twat from Sarah.
I gotta fault your logic there. When has not knowing a single damned thing about a topic ever stopped her before?
Bush Jr. just put Bar's jar 'O' fetus on E-bay.
The stem cells used in this case reportedly have microscopic feather boas and nuclei that resemble tiny mirrorballs.
First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me
The stem cells used in this treatment are adult stem cells, not embryonic.
needs moar "lighten up Frances"
I would tell you that it is "Francis", but that would defeat the purpose of your post, so, type it however the hell you want to!!
I was told spelling doesn't count on teh wonkett
dooly noted Francis
Who the fuck am I? I have an english degree and ended a sentence with "to". I was just trying to be funny – Jeesis – I get more thumbs down by dogging someone's spelling than I did by joking about Clapton's little base jumper!
"needs moar "lighten up Frances""
Humor ist verboten! Like dancing, singing in public, brightly coloured clothes, etc..
You mean to say that they're aborting adults now to harvest their stem cells? Will these evolutionist monsters stop at NOTHING?
Don't be ridiculous, adult abortion is A-OK! We just prefer the term death penalty
After a properly convened Death Panel, of course.
That's right, quit crying you babies, we are the adults in the room here.
In their defense, all of them used to be embryonic at one time.
Not spezackly. Only those cells present in a fetus could be embryonic. Once adult cells get established, they make more adult cells. Plus, keep in mind that our bodies pretty much regenerate themselves every seven years, entirely from adult cells.
This is called the Seven Year Itch. They made a movie about it, starring Marilyn Monroe and Francis Crick.
I have a REAL problem with stems AND cells – here in Texas, a little baggie of nuthin more than stems will getcha a real long time in a cell!! You blue states REALLY need to create some fuckin jerbs so I CAN GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!!
Ah, so that's what green means.
I'm an old hippie and I don't know what to do. Should I sell out like the red or should I kowtow with the blue?
Depends on your co-pay.
MUHFUCKIN WIN!!! My copay is going up from $25 to $65 on 1-1-11! Ain't that a bitch! Well, at least I still have some semblance of insurance… for now.
Just go. Abandon everything except hope.
I'll leave that to "Deadliest Catch" and "Gold Rush" and "Palin's Alaska". It would be fun, though…
Move to CA and do what everyone* else here is doing: Grow medical marijuana. You'll be self-employed, and until you accidentally overload the wiring and burn your house down, rolling in green one way or another.
*Okay, maybe EVERYONE is overstating the numbers. How about everyone in Humboldt other than me? Even my supposedly conservative neighbors are medical growers.
I will tell you that I am a Humboldt supporter (and enabler)- if you research the older Wonkette postings and musings, you will see that my old ego, "GoinGreen", was a BIG proponent of Humboldt becoming its own country!
Please! I mean really, everyone with half a brain needs to leave the red states and just totally leave those fucks to their own devices.
Come to Jerry Brown's Socialist Utopia, but bring cash!
It's kinda like Fangoria, but with fewer Wes Craven interviews and more raw data.
Sorry for the lack of snark but if this is true it is, for me, probably the most important news of the decade. I'm not HIV-positive, but I know a lot who are, and even more that went because of it. If this becomes a political football with the righttards I'm leaving the country. Seriously. Fuck those fucking idiots.
/somber tone
WHEN it becomes a political football, not if. At which time you'll have yet more evidence that they wish you dead. Sorry, can't think of anything snarky right now.
Don't read the Fox News comments.
Seriously, let's hope this is a real breakthrough.
So long, nice knowing you, 'cause you fucking know they will.
Is it gay doctors from Germany?
This is good news for John McCain.
This puts a new twist on the gay abortion.
Note to Ralph Reed:
You cannot offend or influence the Wonkette by sending a troll in here to down fist us. We have seen in it all; and having survived the December "p" Purge of 2010, and being called sanctimonious purists by our fuhrerschwarzen, we don't give two shits about some click-happy, blastocyst worshipping fools.
Wait, amigo, did I miss some poop…oh, sorry. I can't do that anymore. But do point toward a target, there's always new attack memes waiting to be deployed!
I just love the image of some angry Breitbarter spending his whole day systematically going through the Wonkette comments just to thumb everything down; it's just so pathetic it's hilarious.
Hurr-durr, I'm gonna show THEM! Probably gets extra credit at Bob Jones U for the good work.
I just figger it keeps them from spray painting some poor Hispanic's car . . . .
Fuherschwarzen FTW!!!!!!
I believe the correct term should be schwarzenfuhrer. Adjective before noun, same as in English.
Killjoy.
I read Laurie Garrett's book "The Coming Plague" several years ago. The chapters on Reagan and the CDC moving money from one fund to another, secretly, so they could research HIV without the WH knowing about it made me sick. It was Republican genocide.
On a lighter note, cool. But remember kids: safe sex is still the rule.
O/T, but I'm surprised our editors have missed the real big news of the day; Jon Bon Jovi being named as a Presidential advisor: http://whitehouse.blogs.cnn.com/2010/12/14/rocker...
The Germans need to stop trying to cure AIDS and go back to researching something more important, like constructing a human centipede.
TIme to prepare a stimulus package to help the abortion industry. It's harvest time. Let's see…I wonder what's the best way for me to chip in and make a difference? Sperm bank? Hookers? Babysitters? Decisions decisions.
"Sperm bank? Hookers? Babysitters?"
If you really care, all of the above.
I am visualizing a return of bath houses and rampant butt boning. Have fun guys. Be safe though because while Germany has national health care, the US is busy trying to get rid of their meager health initiative.
With the visualizing? Because that way, you can have fun right now.
Needz moar animal-human hybrid
Everyone knows those euro-socialist single-payer systems can't hold a candle to our mighty free-market health care industrial complex!
Yeah, I bet they have a waiting list and rationing for their HIV cures. Well there's no waiting list here!
That's why we pay three times as much for mediocre results. Our emergency rooms are clogged, literally waiting lines, with insolent French, monarchist Brits, and hock-eyed Canucks waiting for their MRI's that hardly change their outcomes. Millions of others are waiting to come here for their over-prescribed antibiotics and unnecessary X-rays, that we as freedom loving, patriotic Americans, demand and deserve. All the while the ambulance chasing buzzards circle overhead just looking for a bad outcome carrion. Who doesn't want to pay some health insurance — or health system — upper management types, or any bureaucrat stuck into the chain, all that money?
USA, USA, USA
Somewhere, an eagle weeps with pride.
Yet another example of gays receiving special privileges. Do you know how long teabaggers have suffered, quietly, the pain and stigma of obesity and diabeetus while scootering down the Little Debbie™ aisle at Kroger? Exercise. Eat healthy, plant-based food. Avoid snacking on canned cake frosting. Oh sure, easy enough to say.
WHAR'S MY GOD-DAMNED FREE RASCAL!?
Except for the idea that "teabaggers have suffered quietly" and the suggestion that there is anything like a "stigma of obesity" in this country, I agree with you. Which is to say, apparently, that I find everything you assert to be a canard.
New top item on the House agenda for 2011: declaring stem cells an illicit narcotic.
Also, FOX to produce "Stem Cell Madness," starring Kelsey Grammar as the nefarious cell-pusher who leads American youth astray.
You've got to come to Europe, if you want to cure your AIDS.
Anyway, I blogged on this topic at http://www.gurukalehuru.com
Actually, if you read the story this looks like a one-time thing. IOW, one gay was saved by Satan's Stem Cells but that's about it.
That giant sucking sound is Tony Perkins and the rest of the Rightard Un-Christian Not-Right crowd inhaling in preparation for their loud denunciation of all things scientific, helpful and healing.
So it cures aids and might cure cancer, heart disease, paralysis, diabetes, and pretty much everything else…it's still murderin' the snowflakes!
Wee, I think that the right will latch on to this with : " Gays have to eat the bodies of dead babies to be healthy….they are zombies "

I've heard stories of women going to Planned Parenthood, and not just for an abortion, and actually getting yelled at by girls and parents who are there for one with typical anti-abortion bullshit. The cognitive dissonance boggles my mind.
We're completely accepting (actually demanding) of assfucking and snark but bad grammar will cost you dearly.
That's true, our pharmaceutical industry is very good at finding treatments for diseases they've just invented!
Just Reich gramma used to make!
Und mit brown mustard Über Alles, mmmmm.
Hey, it is so a thing! there are thousands of us restlessly-legged americans, and we demand to be heard.
actually it goes away if I just walk around a little, but why walk around when there are pills, sweet pills?
So delicious that everybody just Goebbels 'em up!
And a nice, non-kosher Triumph of the Dill pickle on the side…
I refuse to eat taxpayer-funded aborted fish.
It happens all the time, and it will most likely happen to me this week when I go to PP to see my GP and have my ear-infection aborted.
