In the past few days, we’ve seen a host of liberals try to deflect blame for the Ebola crisis from the White House to more acceptable conservative targets. We’ve seen an MSNBC host blaming the National Rifle Association. We’ve seen Salon’s Joan Walsh saying it was “no accident” the outbreak happened in “Rick Perry’s Texas.” And of course, there was the oft-repeated claim that Republicans were to blame for Ebola, a claim The Washington Post’s fact checker gave “four Pinocchios.”
But you gotta hand it liberal filmmaker Michael Moore, he doesn’t play around. Having nothing better to do at 1 a.m. on a weekday, Moore went on a rant blaming all of the above. He even managed to work in a new boogeyman: Wall Street.
Let’s break it down. “TEXAS HEALTH RESOURCES” Resources? None. Health? Ha! Texas? Well, that pretty much explains the lack of the 1st two.

Personally, I haven’t been worried about ebola ever since TX Gov Rick Perry stood in front of the microphones reassuring us he was in charge — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) October 16, 2014

Infectious diseases budget, facilities, prep cut after Wall St thievery killed economy. Now it helps kill lives. Still not 1 banker jailed.
