Right on Cue: Five Craziest Right-Wing Reactions to New York's First Ebola Case

http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/right-cue-five-craziest-right-wing-reactions-new-yorks-first-ebola-case



Ummm, what's the connection?

“Before Obamacare, there had never been a confirmed case of Ebola in the U.S.,” tweeted Nick Muzin, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)'s deputy chief of staff.

What's next, O-bowla?

“Bowling with ebola is a disastrous public health policy. Obama Administration slowness and inadequacy is endangering Americans,” tweeted former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.

Trump, of course.

Donald Trump was quick to jump on the bandwagon, tweeting, “Ebola has been confirmed in N.Y.C., with officials frantically trying to find all of the people and things he had contact with.Obama's fault.”

Paranoid much?

Perennial presidential candidate Alan Keyes warned that President Obama had “plans for exploiting the Ebola crisis” by importing “Ebola-infected persons into the United States.”

Blame the courageous doctor.

Fox News's Megyn Kelly took out her ire on the patient himself, saying, “You’re well aware of the contagiousness of this disease. He comes back into New York City. He knows he’s been handling Ebola patients, and he’s here for a week? He doesn’t tell anybody and if he starts to feel symptomatic before his 103 fever, he’s still out there bowling and taxing taxis and not quarantining, not just self-quarantining?”

Never mind the amount of needless deaths in a single day due to
NO HEALTH INSURANCE.

I Live in Texas and I saw an article that jokingly advised Texas to seal all their borders from the inside. That was after the patient in Dallas died of Ebola.
That way we can make sure that anyone who had contact with him or anyone around him could not leave Texas to infect others but also to help keep illegal immigrants out.
Win win situation right?
I wonder how the rich jet setter conservatives from Texas would feel about that..LOL

Don't go out of your house. Certainly don't go to public meeting places (like polling stations).

Stay inside for the next 21 days and come back out around November 8 (21 days from today).

Just to be safe.
