The World Health Organization said on Tuesday that the world could be seeing 10,000 new Ebola cases per week before Christmas. U.S. pundits seem more concerned with using Ebola to berate President Obama rather than dealing with the impact of the disease. At a time when the nation needs to unite around protecting the country from an epidemic, rational discussion of Ebola is competing with a new contagion—right-wing racism, and it’s spreading like, well, you know what.

Which is worse: EBOLA, the disease; or OBOLA, the dream from
his father?(with illustration) https://t.co/zsWqu4KuqR
Enter #obola, a diseased little meme conflating President Barack Obama with the Ebola virus, first promoted in mainstream media by conservative radio host (and qualified epidemiologist) Michael Savage. In a Sept. 30 radio slot, Savage blamed Obama’s open-borders policy for Ebola’s spread into America. “The only solution is zero travel in and out of West Africa for any American,” he said, labeling the U.S. leader as “President Obola.” Savage caused the term to trend in a major way for the first time, but he wasn’t patient zero.
That dubious honor seems to go to the Twitter account @exposeliberals, the raw bush meat of the online commentary world, with a tweet from Aug. 7 that appears to be the first infection of #obola. Even with the account’s 95,000 loyal followers, it couldn’t nudge the #obola concept into the mainstream consciousness. It lay relatively dormant for more than a month, failing to find a host that would help it go viral....

The race based administration and political party is upset about obola .
Good,
playing the race card already....oh baby, it stings and smarts all at the same time baby!
Why is it racist? I always search for explanation, yet can never find one...
Why is it racist?
It is only argument that they have
Dealing with progressives is like dealing with parrots and 2yr olds. No logic but they can get loud.
Because they said so. Obviously.
We really have to start doing whatever they call racist more. Doing/saying ect. Every thing, every time. They need their noses rubbed in it because they cannot deal with people refusing their commands.
Thus the need to spin them out with it.
They have no friends in the comments section.
And I’m still waiting for Janeane Garofalo to accuse Putin of “hating a black man”.
these are the same hypocritical lefties who called Tea Party activists teabaggers and continue to do so.
Perhaps if Obama had united with the nation about protecting the country from an epidemic, Obola would not have been coined.
If #Obola were lily white, we would still be calling him #Obola. At least I would.
And calling @exposeliberals’ online commentary “bush meat” is rasis.
Is Barack Ebola getting all wee-wee’d up about this ???
OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA ** OBOLA **
I no longer care if someone calls me racist for criticizing Obola and others so deserving of criticism. The term has become a political tool with no meaning.
I no longer care if someone calls me sexist for criticizing Pelosi and others so deserving of criticism. The term has become a political tool with no meaning.
I have never cared if someone called me homophobic for criticizing Obola, Barney Frank, and others so deserving of criticism. The term has always been a political tool with no meaning.
Just when it was becoming safe to criticize Obama for gross incompetence and ineptitude (after 7 years when you include his ‘08 campaign), the race hustlers once again deploy their slightly rusty but well-broken-in Super Defensive Race Force Field.
If this happened under a Republican president, Democrats would be rallying around in kumbaya mode for the good of the country. Uh huh.
