The only place I've heard the AIDS debate is from a caller (as oppossed to a guest or host) on NPR's "Talk of the Nation." The host and guest pretty well explained that Reagan simply wasn't aware of the disease at first.

As has been mentioned above, it's important to remember the historical context and basic ignorance (even in the medical community to some extent) of AIDS in the early 80's.
