Projection is a powerful phenomenon, and the American people have been subject to a perfectly cynical display of psychological projection from Democrats this week as the increasing likelihood that the party in power is going to endure a stinging censure from the voters on November 4.
Democrats have spent the better part of the week insisting that Republicans who have urged the president to take stronger measures to contain Ebola in the United States, which he did on Friday with the creation of a federal Ebola response coordinator, are stoking unwarranted fears among the public. At the same time, liberals do not see a contradiction in their behavior when they make the dubious claim that the only reason why there is an Ebola threat to America today is because of Republicans and their pathological attachment to budget cuts.
Last weekend, as the left franticly scrambled for a way to shield the president from criticism after Ebola broke out in the United States despite the assurances of federal authorities that such an eventuality was unlikely, liberals began to ring their favorite bell about reduced federal spending being responsible for this crisis, as well as all other human ills. An authoritative voice joined the chorus last Sunday when National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins told The Huffington Post’s Sam Stein that the world would have cured Ebola today but for cuts to his agency’s budget.
Collins did not assign blame to one political party or the other, but the message had been perfectly received by partisan operatives on the left. “Gee, thanks Republicans,” Democratic strategist Paul Begala barked in reaction to the article. He was merely the vanguard of a pageant of liberal critics who emerged certain that this deadly hemorrhagic fever ravaging West Africa and now spreading across the globe was essentially a Republican plot.
Collins’ quote to Stein coincided coincidentally with the release of a ham-handed 60-second web ad from a progressive organization which directly blamed Republicans for the spread of Ebola.
“On many levels, this line of attack is absurd,” The Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler sighed.
The demos are the ones putting us in increased danger. All it takes is for the head demo to say we’re suspending flights from west Africa.
It's pretty clear who's behind the panDEMic.
The Dems own the Ebola crisis in this country.If it turns into an epidemic,they will end up being hunted down like animals.
I hope this shows more than a few of them that they have been lying like this forever...
Dear Lord, please allow the Civil War to start in order for me to save my nation. We cannot co-exist with liberals and they really need to go. Kindly arm me with weapons and firearms that will make short work of these Godless heathens called liberals. Kicking them in the face and smashing their heads in with a baseball bat is not enough. If you wish for your religion to prosper, then liberals have to go. They don’t believe in You anyway, so give me the strength to destroy our enemies.
Amen
Did the GOP speak up?
On this?
On anything?
On any one of the DAILY OUTRAGES?
Where are the EXEMPT?

That’s exactly what needs to happen if it turns epidemic here.
if this turns into an epidemc a lot of the democrat population centers will get hit worst...
and not just by the disease
Can’t imagine that the Republicans have the gonads necessary, but perhaps Congress does meet before the election, gives some extra funding, and then BANS FLIGHTS FROM Ebola Countries.
...just wishful thinking, I’m sure, even as more cases pile up.
I will be first in line. If someone purposely set your house on fire then you have to hunt them down like a dog.
Do LIVS get that it ‘s NOT a republican/ conservative problem?
Just wondering what the perception is out there in LIV land......
Thanks Kaslin.
That is basically what I told an old email exchange that I am on that has about half left leaning. I said they could end the panic and media sensationalism tonight if they banned travel from the hot zone countries.
The lefties freaked out. Still don’t have a reason for their resistance other than their man in the White House doesn’t want it or hasn’t told them a new game strategy. I have no doubt they would be 100% with him on a ban, if he ordered it today.
Meanwhile, the rest of America is wondering why the government doesn’t protect Americans.
They don’t know enough to even pray that it doesn’t happen it, or they really want a large chunk of the world’s population to die off to help save mother gaia.
The left are basically admitting they are racist and xenophobes because they think that Africans are dumber than Americans.
If you believe the White House press secretary, Obama hasn’t made a mistake in all the time he’s been pResident.
As a result, all of their denials have become implausible.
