DeLay: Media Making Ebola "Patient Zero" A "Folk Hero"

by JASmius



Here's my question: Would Thomas Eric Duncan have been depicted as a "folk hero" if he were white?:

CNN and other liberal media outlets are making a "folk hero" out of Thomas Duncan, the first person diagnosed with the Ebola virus in the United States, former GOP House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says.

"That's the left once again in our political correctness, making a folk hero out of someone who's bringing an epidemic to the United States," DeLay said Monday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV

"He knew he had Ebola, there was no doubt in his mind because he had been taking care of or helping people with Ebola and he got out of that country as fast as he could."

DeLay's take on Duncan, who flew to the United States from Liberia — considered the "ground zero" of the Ebola crisis — flies in the face of some media reports, which paint Duncan as a romantic who risked his health to come and meet an old flame.

Duncan is now in critical condition in a Dallas hospital.

"We shouldn't be glorifying him and certainly if he does live, and we hope he does … he ought to be prosecuted," DeLay said.

Of course, he should.  But he won't be.  Why?  Because he's black, and he's from Africa.  Period, exclamation point.  The same fundamental reason why the Obama Regime hasn't banned flights to the U.S. from Ebola hotspots: It is The One's life mission to reduce America to the level of the rest of the world.  aka The Obama Doctrine.

And if the rest of the world is drowning in its own blood, than dad gum it, it's just not fair that Americans shouldn't be perishing in horrible, lingering agony as well.

Let's dub Mr. Duncan "Ebola Tom" (a la "Typhoid Mary") - while we still can.
