Update: WFAA Reports It’s Not Even Confirmed the Ebola Patient “Vomited” at All

Fake outrage of the week
US News • Views: 31,096

Following up on our story from yesterday about Gateway Pundit’s ridiculous, false fear-mongering post about “Ebola vomit” being cleaned up by WORKERS WITHOUT SUITS OMG!, here’s a video clip from WFAA in Dallas, in which we learn reports that the Ebola patient “vomited” on the ground five days ago outside his apartment are not even confirmed, and that the apartment complex owners ordered the sidewalks to be power-washed just to be on the safe side.

The entire right wing media machine is pimping the fake story today, all of them screaming about EBOLA VOMIT! Here’s a Google search: Ebola vomit is everywhere! So far I don’t think it’s shown up on Fox News, but it probably will. These fake stories usually do.

And now we know the entire story about the vomit hasn’t even been confirmed. This is an amazingly good example of how crazy and irrational the right wing media have become.

Perhaps I’m just becoming too cynical. The fact that the facts are our there makes absolutely no difference. The RWNJs create their own facts and by dint of sheer repetition they establish the ‘truth’ of their narrative. It becomes accepted and then gospel to them.

I need to improve my attitude, but damn it’s tough.

I don’t think it’s that. I think it’s more like people of European ancestry have had less of a chance of developing any kind of resistance to it than people of African ancestry. Sort of like how Native Americans had a much worse reaction to the smallpox virus, once it had been introduced by Europeans, than the Europeans themselves did.

Doesn’t mean that smallpox wasn’t a scourge, or that the reason wasn’t that it was a new disease to which Native Americans had no resistance.

The Wikipedia article on Native American disease and epidemics calls smallpox “the most notable disease brought by Europeans” (whatever “notable” means in this context). It doesn’t mention the common cold at all.

94 wrenchwench  Oct 3, 2014 3:28:26pm

The New Mexico Department of Corrections officials have pulled female inmates from a halfway named in a sexual assault lawsuit.

Corrections spokeswoman Alex Tomlin said Friday officials took the women out of the New Life Recovery House in Alamogordo and have launched an internal investigation.

Three women have sued a New Mexico motel owner and the director of the halfway house, saying they were repeatedly sexually assaulted at work and threated with being sent back to prison when they complained.

The women say they were assigned by the halfway house’s director to work at a nearby Super 8 Motel where they were harassed, subjected to lewd conduct and inappropriately touched by owner.

Feb. 26: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul sends Majority Leader Harry Reid a letter announcing his intention to put a hold on the Murthy nomination. “In his efforts to curtail Second Amendment rights, Dr. Murthy has continually referred to guns as a public health issue on par with heart disease and has diminished the role of mental health in gun violence,” writes Paul. “As a physician, I am deeply concerned that he has advocated that doctors use their position of trust to ask patients, including minors, details about gun ownership in the home.”

“It’s an incredibly transmissible disease that everyone is downplaying, saying it’s hard to catch…. I’m very concerned about this. I think at the very least there needs to be a discussion about airline travel between the countries that have the raging disease.”

Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) said Thursday that lawmakers don’t know what resources are needed to control Ebola because “there is no person to go to, to tell us how all this is going to be funded.”

“I don’t think there is a person in charge,” Moran, the ranking member on the Appropriations Committee’s health subcommittee, told BuzzFeed.thehill.com

So, turns out there might be a need for a functioning government?

There’s a way to make Rand Paul’s statement correct.

Transmission of Ebola is very easy in conditions of horrible poverty and deprivation. Since libertarians hold that such grinding poverty is the natural and proper state for all but the ruling oligarchs, it follows(!) that Ebola is “incredibly transmissible”.

Perhaps I’m just becoming too cynical. The fact that the facts are our there makes absolutely no difference. The RWNJs create their own facts and by dint of sheer repetition they establish the ‘truth’ of their narrative. It becomes accepted and then gospel to them.

But there’s so much more to conservatism than that. For example:

1) Crapping all over everything and then saying that its Democrat shit.

2) Pretending that a shit sandwich is fine eating (i.e., rebranding).

3) Commitment to “that shit don’t stink” with respect to racism, misogyny, homophobia, religious zealotry and neo-confederacy.

Truly, the ways in which conservatism is shit are endless and varied.

He lives in his mother’s basement, doesn’t he? That’s a serious question, by the way; I thought I had heard that he was actually living at his folks’ house.

His Mother in Law’s basement.

Actually a bit worse.

His wife. I wonder about her.

So pumpkin spice is a meme now? I guess it’s mock- worthy. But I’m going to push back because I have a pumpkin spice beer fermenting - only I used a Kuri squash for my fruit - that I expect to be fantastic. It was only a half batch, because that flavor gets old quick, but it’s still fun for a little while.

For people looking for a good pumpkin beer, try Southern Tiers’ PumKIng, which is widely available for a craft seasonal. It’s really well done.

He probably scammed a very weak person.

She’s an Indonesian Christian, brought here as a child or teenager. She’s also recently graduated with a Pharm D, so she’s smart enough to see him for what he is and not care. It’s probably the real deal, either that or she needed to marry to remain in the country, which seems pretty unlikely if her parents had green cards.

If they’re a Christian couple, it could be a lot more complicated than that. Christianity has made an art form of papering over a lot of really ugly stuff with gentle smiles and Jesus Loves You’s.
