Why We Cannot Trust the White House on Ebola

• http://www.lewrockwell.com

The only thing that surprised me about the message was that I had not seen one sooner.

The same people who gave us homophobia and Islamophobia (not to mention racism, sexism, classism, xenophobia, nativism, and climate denial) are about to give us Ebolaphobia.  As former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel notoriously said (while plagiarizing Winston Churchill), "You never let a serious crisis go to waste."

The Obama White House will exploit this crisis, if it becomes one, in ways that alarmists do not anticipate. Obama will not declare martial law or shut down the polls in November – I hope – but he and his cronies will begin immediately to stigmatize the opposition as xenophobes and racists.  They have done this before on other issues, and there is no time better to do it again than a month before national elections.

Obama and his allies will do this because they can get away with it.  The media have enabled Obama's mean-spirited mendacity from his breakout appearance at the 2004 Democratic Convention to today, and they show no sign of mending their ways.
