In a column ostensibly explaining why American moderates struggle in the Republican Party, Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen last year wrote: People with conventional views must repress a gag reflex when considering the mayor-elect of New York a white man married to a black woman and with two biracial children. (Should I mention that Bill de Blasios wife, Chirlane McCray, used to be a lesbian?) This family represents the cultural changes that have enveloped parts but not all of America.
If the thought of New Yorks first familys interracial marriage makes many Republicans (and apparently Cohen) gag, imagine how many sick bags they are filling over Ebola. The arrival of the virus in the United States has crystallised a range of conservative anxieties: immigration, race, terrorism, science, big government, Barack Obama you name it. For the right, Ebola is not just a disease, it is a metaphor for some of the things they dont understand and many of the things they loathe.
Conservative éminence grise Phyllis Schlafly believes Obama is allowing it into the country deliberately. Obama doesnt want America to believe that were exceptional, she said. He wants us to be just like everybody else and, if Africa is suffering from Ebola, we ought to join the group and be suffering from it, too.
Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh claims liberals wont impose a travel ban from infected areas because Ebola is payback for slavery....

More bs from a hate filled gay/black/homosexual communist.
Do a Goggle search on this human offal.
"Is he actually implying that, if the Swedish Bikini Team had dragged Ebola in, wed all just be happy as hell about it?"
You are precisely correct.
If our country learned that Japan had a terrible virus with a 70% mortality rate, I would support travel bans to/from Japan as well.
The same holds for any country.
Liberals are consumed with race.
Do they ever stop to think a half-black President Obama was elected because of the enormous numbers of non-racist white people? People don't care from where ebola originates, they just want the VAST ocean we have between us to act as the natural pandemic barrier that it SHOULD be.
Only if you also mention that John Kerry served in Viet Nam.
I saw this “Moon” yesterday...I’d like to have a big a$$ poster of that to put on my front porch.
Younge, like third world dirt bags everywhere, agrees with other leftists that Americans deserve to get all sorts of nasty diseases and die. What a shock. Yes Americans, please contract ebola to prove your humanity. What a great idea. (snicker)
‘Was she faking it then, or is she faking it now.’
OR She is just a straight up pervert whore who will do anything and sleep with anyone!
Guess which states they will be sending Ebola patients?
It’s not rocket science. One only need look at the Clinton Marriage to see what “marriage of convenience” means.
Richard Cohen thinks it’s 1963 forever...
Gay Charlie was a Republican, who became an Independent, and then became a Democrat. If he hears about Big Momma DeBlasio, he may declare as a Transgendered Lesbian, attracting even more votes.
And not one damn Thank You.
Someone needs to find a Republican who will go on the record to say that the fact that Bill de Blasio has a black wife and interracial children is so repugnant that it makes them gag. This is the type of charge that needs evidence because usually when its made, the person making it is lying. This moron Younge is lying too. No Republican cares about Bill de Blasio’s marriage. In fact, the last politicians who cared about interracial marriage were the old Southern Democrats with their Jim Crow laws.
Who says she isn't still a lesbian?
Humanism, the zero sum game of “we are all fatal, get abortions, shoot yourselves”
Obama’s lucky. He only has to look in the mirror.
“Rednecks”
That’s racist!
What tripe, more grossly offensive than an hour of MSNBC, and less informed. Note this nonsense calls itself “the best read” in Africa, which is unlikely in itself. It’s certainly not the most read. Nor is it the best “red.”
