“Mandela” is an amphibrach, and so too – to the delight of racists and conspiracy theorists – is “Obama.” Our president’s name is a close sound-match to Ebola: both the same meter, and five letters long (three of which are vowels and three of which appear also in “Ebola”).This, among other drivel, is meant to shame anyone talking negatively about the Ebola threat and, more specifically, advocating banning flights from infected countries. But will it work? Can the Libcrib actually change the perception of a deadly disease?
A) No way in hell
For #UniteBlue people saying imposing travel bans is racist, just remember, everyone's ebola infected sidewalk vomit blood is red.

Calling me a racist for wanting my countrymen to live #ebola free is the new McCarthyism. It deserves the finger I give it proudly.

Is it just me, or does the statement 'Immigrants Spread Diseases' sound more Factual than Racist these days?

B) Yes, there are plenty of morons willing to play along
Ebola is AID's all over again, created by racist Americans to depopulate Africa.
