MSNBC, the cable outlet known here as the official network of
insane liberal hate, struck again, blaming the National Rifle Association for the spread of
Ebola while ignoring the thousands being allowed to enter the country from Ebola nations
without additional screening. On Friday,
Newsbusters reported that MSNBC host
Krystal Ball and NBC correspondent Anne Thompson "shamelessly" politicized the Ebola crisis in an op-ed published Thursday on MSNBC.com.
According to the far-left wing fringe network, due to "Senate dysfunction and
NRA
opposition, we don't have a surgeon general right now....during a time
when, we not only have Ebola arriving on our shores, but are also
dealing with the mysterious Enterovirus, which is infecting and
contributing to the deaths of children in the U.S." Apparently, Ball
and Thompson are unaware that Democrats currently rule the Senate with
an iron fist.
"In fact," the two liberals added, "we haven't had a surgeon general
for more than a year now — even though the president nominated the
eminently qualified Dr. Vivek Murthy back in November 2013."
But
there's a reason Murthy's nomination has been delayed -- his
controversial stand on the
Second Amendment.
But according to Ball and Thompson, the real reason has nothing to do
with Murthy's views on guns, it has to do with fear of the NRA, an
organization liberals decry as evil -- so evil, in fact, that one
liberal Democrat actually prayed for God to
kill every member of the organization with Ebola.
"The NRA wrote a strongly worded letter, Rand Paul put a hold on the
nomination, and Red State Democrats begged Harry Reid to not force them
to vote," the two NBC employees said. "It's funny that the strongly
worded letters of ordinary citizens don't seem to have quite the same
effect," they added, implying that the millions of Americans who are
members of the NRA aren't "ordinary citizens."
Matthew Balan said Ball and Thompson "undercut" their argument
somewhat when they wrote that "Tom Frieden, the head of the Center for
Disease Control, has been filling in for part of the surgeon general's
role" in the Ebola crisis. But, they added, "he has his own vital work
to attend to as both head of the CDC and the U.S. Ambassador to the
World Health Organization."
Naturally, neither Ball nor Thompson bothered to state the degree of
Murthy's anti-gun radicalism.
For example, they failed to mention that
according to the doctor, "society's preoccupation with firearms" comes
from "fiery gun battles" on Saturday morning cartoons, the
UK Daily Mail reported in March.
"Today, a typical elementary student wakes up on Saturday mornings to
fiery gun battles, explosive scenes of terror and the violent
decimation of the 'bad guy' – all this in a children's cartoon," Murthy
said in 1994 at the ripe old age of 16. "With such destructive
influence, society's preoccupation with firearms and brutal methods of
conflict resolution is no surprise."
In short, Ball and Thompson wants the Senate to confirm a radical
anti-gun zealot who formed his opinions from watching Saturday morning
cartoons. Naturally, Senate Republicans weren't impressed.
"This nominee seems much more devoted to politics than to patients,"
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wy., said. "I know there are a number of senators
who are up for re-election who are probably not going to want to vote
for somebody who is this committed to taking away our Second Amendment
rights."
The
Pakistani Taliban says to the Islamic State: “All Muslims in the world
have great expectations of you … We are with you, we will provide you
with Mujahideen (fighters) and with every possible support.” The
misunderstanding of Islam is epidemic and global. Will Obama send John
Kerry to talk to the Pakistani Taliban and explain to them how the
Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam?
