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....

Dealing with progressives is like dealing with parrots and 2yr olds. No logic but they can get loud.
Oooh, I l Ike that! Can I use it too? Lol!
Markham Nolan and Adi Cohen are racists who try to hide their own racism by accusing others of being racists.
(Yeah, go ahead and parse that statement for fun.)
BS! It started here, with me, August 1st! Someone please prove me wrong, or I’m racist zero, the “racist” who wants Obola to be accountable for allowing ebola to occur here, on HIS watch. I got that other guy beat by a week! :)

Wish I could claim it, but I saw it posted somewhere else. Perfect though.
Ooops. Sorry. Post #12 on that thread.
Such hypocrisy. Funny when uniting was needed to protect our borders, his philosophy is my way or the highway. FU OBOLA!!!!!
Fixed it.
The legacy of Barry. Socialist medicine with Ebola.
President Obola is about right.
and high school seniors eating peas for lunch.
Well, I want a logical reason. Not that I ever expect to get one.
“Bush’s Fault”
“Obola”
Political, but not the least bit racist.
“We should rally around protecting the country from Ebola!”
Umm, we would if the POTUS would actually restrict flights from Ebola infected areas of the world and secure our borders to give us that “protection from ebola.”
Idiots don’t even realize that we would rally around some leadership that was actually interested in the safety of American citizens.
use it whenever and whenever it will do the most good
You must know the PC incorrect “wish in one hand and ......”
Or as I am apt to say when Hell freezes over.
I must admit to being very aware of a person’s color. Not that I treat them differently just because of color - but I notice it. (Is that racist, bigoted, discriminatory, ???)
Anyway - I obviously noticed Obama is black when he first showed up on the scene. It was most noticable early on (first black president, etc.) But the color of his skin doesn’t even enter into my mind when I think of him now.
Evil, manipulating, hating, scheming, etc. enters my mind now. Obola is perfect for him, as it conveys the sense of spreading infection and destruction that socialism and the diesease has.
