Wingnuts Blame Obama for Ebola Virus Because "African"

photo 3155601.jpg

The Republicans - and even some far-left conspiracy nuts - just can't resist trying to connect President Obama and the Ebola Virus. After all, he is African, you know. Oh wait, he's African-American, maybe - have you checked his birth certificate lately? When will you lib-tards admit he's a totally black socialist Kenyan who eats bush meat and invented HIV and Ebola in his bid to destroy 'Merica? Doesn't that make perfect sense?


People shouldn't be so scared about this virus from Africa. He only has two more years of his presidency
~ Actor Steve Howley on a tweet he later deleted, reported by TMZ

I believe the failure to stop these planes from comin' into Sierra Leone, there could be politics involved in that too. Obama, familial connection with Africa - he has an enormous amount of, I think, core ties to the African continent. He's mindful of his own family history there.
~ Laura Ingraham on her talk show

I think very few people trust our government as being competent. Let's not kid ourselves. I mean with the five billion dollar website for Obamacare, which is still not working frankly and it's a disaster. And so many other things: Benghazi, wars... IRS.
. . . I mean we have virtually incompetent leadership. So why would anybody trust our government to handle this crisis? And to think that we're allowing people from West Africa to come in, and many of them are unchecked, come in and potentially cause a tremendous problem.
~ Donald Trump on Fox News




Ebola is a plot to kill the Military
and Benghazzzzzzzzziiiiii!!!

(Obama wants to send) 3,000 military into where they can get Ebola that they can bring back. The military is not trained to go catch Ebola and die. They’re trained to go in and kill the people that want to come back and kill us. The president’s priorities are all mixed up here.

 Red State: Pestilence and Bush Meat

. . . we have a person in the United States who flew back from Africa with Ebola. The White House neither wants to stop flights to Africa nor does it want to more closely monitor people coming into the United States from Africa via other countries.
At least this administration is consistent. It will let every one and every thing, including pestilence, cross our border. I bet, if we are patient, the administration will even place Ebola with a nice family somewhere in Middle America and given it government benefits.
~ Erick Erickson, Fox News Pundit and Owner of Red State

Banning flights to a country where brown people live is RACIST to Barack Ebola.
~ ncfamilyman on Red State

We still have international ports of entry, passports and visa checks, shot records, the only problem is the Mexican boarder, we don't do squat there. Maybe that's how the mystery virus killing and crippling our kids came from ? Thanks Mr. president.
~ lerp on Red State

Here is one of the major problems. People from this part of the World love to bring in "Bush Meat" into the United States. Even though it is not allowed, an Officer must open up that suitcase and take it. That in itself may become problematic if people get fearful. It's just a fact. All suitcases should be emptied of any meat BEFORE it leaves an African airport, instead of bringing it here.
. . . Ebola is a animal related disease, mostly from eating bat meat. One person comes from Africa to with infected meat and feeds it to 10 family members, we now have 10 people with Ebola. The fact that this ONE man contracted Ebola before coming here is nothing compared to an infected bag of Bushmeat will be Major. The fact is, this is a more dangerous way to bring Ebola here.

Free Republic: Obama Kills the Innocents

Ebola Is Obama's "Katrina", And He's More Worried About Africans Than Americans???
~ Headline on Free Republic

If Obama can heal the earth, and stop the oceans from rising...can’t he also stop Ebola?
Yes, of course he can...but he doesn’t want to.
~ Cowboy Bob on Free Republic

Obammy is visiting this ebola crap on innocents!!!
~ Joe B. on Free Republic

I wonder if 0bola is letting the US taxpayer foot the bill for flying Ebola affected countries citizens here.
~ Jane L. on Free Republic

easier than burning Christians on the lamp posts along pennsylvania ave.
~ knarf on Free Republic

I wonder if Obama is willing to take the Mooch and their two kids to Liberia on their next vacation on our dime, shake hands with the locals, and demonstrate to Americans that there is nothing to worry about? (sarc)
~ avid cougar on Free Republic

A good Ebola outbreak in the USofA would overwhelm the Health Insurance companies and the government could rescue the system with -TA_DA! Single Payer.
~ arthurus on Free Republic

People don’t feel better off than they were five years ago, and obviously whether it’s the GSA, the IRS, Syria, Ebola, the Secret Service, I means what’s going well in regard to this administration and those senators who have followed him in lockstep?
~ Reince Priebus, Republican Clown

Naomi Wolf Becomes a Snowden Truther

Naomi Wolf - the First Snowden Truther
The author of End of America has apparently lost whatever was left of her shpadoinkle and has written a lengthy screed with bulletpoints about how Snowden might’ve been an Obama Police State plant.
Personally, I think Naomi Wolf is a false flag for Alex Jones.
Up next? IBM, Raytheon, Bechtel, Radio Shack, the Trilateral Commission — they’re all in on it, too.

My creeping concern that the NSA leaker is not who he purports to be

I hate to do this but I feel obligated to share, as the story unfolds, my creeping concern that the NSA leaker is not who he purports to be, and that the motivations involved in the story may be more complex than they appear to be. This is in no way to detract from the great courage of Glenn Greenwald in reporting the story, and the gutsiness of the Guardian in showcasing this kind of reporting, which is a service to America that US media is not performing at all. It is just to raise some cautions as the story unfolds, and to raise some questions about how it is unfolding, based on my experience with high-level political messaging.

Some of Snowden’s emphases seem to serve an intelligence/police state objective, rather than to challenge them.

a) He is super-organized, for a whistleblower, in terms of what candidates, the White House, the State Dept. et al call ‘message discipline.’ He insisted on publishing a power point in the newspapers that ran his initial revelations. I gather that he arranged for a talented filmmaker to shoot the Greenwald interview. These two steps — which are evidence of great media training, really ‘PR 101″ — are virtually never done (to my great distress) by other whistleblowers, or by progressive activists involved in breaking news, or by real courageous people who are under stress and getting the word out. They are always done, though, by high-level political surrogates.

b) In the Greenwald video interview, I was concerned about the way Snowden conveys his message. He is not struggling for words, or thinking hard, as even bright, articulate whistleblowers under stress will do. Rather he appears to be transmitting whole paragraphs smoothly, without stumbling. To me this reads as someone who has learned his talking points — again the way that political campaigns train surrogates to transmit talking points.

c) He keeps saying things like, “If you are a journalist and they think you are the transmission point of this info, they will certainly kill you.” Or: “I fully expect to be prosecuted under the Espionage Act.” He also keeps stressing what he will lose: his $200,000 salary, his girlfriend, his house in Hawaii. These are the kinds of messages that the police state would LIKE journalists to take away; a real whistleblower also does not put out potential legal penalties as options, and almost always by this point has a lawyer by his/her side who would PROHIBIT him/her from saying, ‘come get me under the Espionage Act.” Finally in my experience, real whistleblowers are completely focused on their act of public service and trying to manage the jeopardy to themselves and their loved ones; they don’t tend ever to call attention to their own self-sacrifice. That is why they are heroes, among other reasons. But a police state would like us all to think about everything we would lose by standing up against it.

d) It is actually in the Police State’s interest to let everyone know that everything you write or say everywhere is being surveilled, and that awful things happen to people who challenge this. Which is why I am not surprised that now he is on UK no-fly lists – I assume the end of this story is that we will all have a lesson in terrible things that happen to whistleblowers. That could be because he is a real guy who gets in trouble; but it would be as useful to the police state if he is a fake guy who gets in ‘trouble.’

e) In stories that intelligence services are advancing (I would call the prostitutes-with-the-secret-service such a story), there are great sexy or sex-related mediagenic visuals that keep being dropped in, to keep media focus on the issue. That very pretty pole-dancing Facebooking girlfriend who appeared for, well, no reason in the media coverage…and who keeps leaking commentary, so her picture can be recycled in the press…really, she happens to pole-dance? Dan Ellsberg’s wife was and is very beautiful and doubtless a good dancer but somehow she took a statelier role as his news story unfolded…

f) Snowden is in Hong Kong, which has close ties to the UK, which has done the US’s bidding with other famous leakers such as Assange. So really there are MANY other countries that he would be less likely to be handed over from…

g) Media reports said he had vanished at one point to ‘an undisclosed location’ or ‘a safe house.’ Come on. There is no such thing. Unless you are with the one organization that can still get off the surveillance grid, because that org created it.

h) . . . WHERE IS SNOWDEN’S LAWYER as the world’s media meet with him? A whistleblower talking to media has his/her counsel advising him/her at all times, if not actually being present at the interview, because anything he/she says can affect the legal danger the whistleblower may be in . It is very, very odd to me that a lawyer has not appeared, to my knowledge, to stand at Snowden’s side and keep him from further jeopardy in interviews.

Again I hate to cast any skepticism on what seems to be a great story of a brave spy coming in from the cold in the service of American freedom. And I would never raise such questions in public if I had not been told by a very senior official in the intelligence world that indeed, there are some news stories that they create and drive — even in America (where propagandizing Americans is now legal). But do consider that in Eastern Germany, for instance, it was the fear of a machine of surveillance that people believed watched them at all times — rather than the machine itself — that drove compliance and passivity. From the standpoint of the police state and its interests — why have a giant Big Brother apparatus spying on us at all times — unless we know about it?
