American Ebola meets the Jesse Jackson race brigade.

Is anyone surprised that after Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan succumbed as the first victim of the Ebola virus to die on American soil his demise would become a cause célèbre for the race-hustling Left?

Of course not. The only surprise was that it was Jesse Jackson, whose exploits in racial demagoguery have of late been plagued by a relative lugubriousness in comparison to more ebullient contenders like Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan, who commandeered the train by insinuating himself among Duncan’s family members to accuse Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of bigotry for the sin of not saving its most high-profile patient.

Democrat operatives are accusing the health care industry of being racist because only blacks are dying of Ebola.

I imagine they drew straws or high card or some such. They can't all go to every racial shooting, epidemic, antisemitic rally, faux lynching, self-inflicted sex assault or the like. They're only three men, people!
