The answer is NO. You cannot get AIDS from a towel.

And who knew that the Dems' target demographic were such brainiacs?! Makes one wonder what so many of them are doing in the welfare lines!

Maybe those bleach spots aren't really bleach spots!!

It has never happened because it really is not possible. The virus is very fragile and cannot live outside of the body except under certain extreme conditions that have only been created in scientific research labs intentionally. Pat Robertson has made a good deal of money by using tactics that incite fear. Robertson also said that 9/11 was god punishing the US for homosexual behavior.

Didn't he follow this nonsense up with calling Gay Rights activists terrorists?

Yes, I believe he did: Pat Robertson calls gay rights activists 'terrorists'
