Fox News contributor Keith Ablow went on an unhinged racial rant against President Obama, accusing him of failing to protect the country against Ebola because his "affinities, his affiliations are with" Africa and "not us ... He's their leader." Ablow also compared America to a hostage with Stockholm Syndrome, electing a man who dislikes the country and "has names very similar to two of our archenemies, Osama, well, Obama. And Hussein."

Ablow, a member of Fox News' "Medical A-Team," appeared on the October 14 edition of Fox News Radio's The John Gibson Show. He had previously written a column alleging that President Obama is not forcefully confronting Ebola and helping calm fears about the disease because he "may literally believe we should suffer along with less fortunate nations."

Ablow started by explaining that from his perspective "as a psychiatrist," Obama thinks he's a "citizen and a leader of the world" who doesn't belong to one country and "perhaps least of all this country because he has it in for us as disappointing people. People who've been a scourge on the face of the Earth. And so for him to then say we're going to seal the borders and protect Americans when in my view, in his mind, if only unconsciously, he's thinking, 'Really? We're going to prevent folks suffering with illnesses from coming across the border flying into our airports when we have visited a plague of colonialism that has devastated much of the world, on the world? What is the fairness in that?' I believe Barack Obama is thinking."

He continued, speculating that the president believes America shouldn't be immune to Ebola when "others are suffering, when we are a bad people." As evidence of Obama's supposed anti-Americanism, Ablow cited "the apology tour, having heard his wife say, you know, when they were campaigning that she hadn't been proud of America until her husband was, you know, had his sights set on the presidency. With him, you know, attending a church where the pastor said 'God Damn America' and the rest of it. It all fits, doesn't it? ... How can you protect a country you don't like? Why would you?" http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/10/15/fox-docs-racial-rant-obama-welcomes-ebola-becau/201168

2. I keep hoping that they'll eventually say something that will wake up their base to realize

what nutters they are.

I keep hoping.

7. is there anything too far off base?

is what I was wondering, they have about covered the full spectrum

3. I think he must be describing his Multinational Corporate buddies.....

now THEY are the ones that have turned their backs on their Country and became "citizen's of the world". Wonder why he isn't worried about that? Oh yeah....I know.... $$$$$$

8. He doesn't ...

But every night, somewhere in a dark, dank basement, there is an elaborately appointed, and empty, coffin.

5. There is not anything that is off limits to a Fox News contributor.

It would be most interesting to see how they screen their employees and contributors.

6. I hope he loses his license.

I sure wouldn't want him anywhere near me. I would rather go to a vet for treatment.

10. Obama thinks he's a "citizen and a leader of the world"- says man that wants to invade Syria

Iran, Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Argentina...

Remember Obama is a failure because he can't handle foreign affairs, but Obama is also a failure because he tries to lead on the world stage. With Republican idiots you can't win. Luckily you don't have to pay attention to them. They have nothing of value to add to society.

11. That guy is crazy enough

to do most anything if he thinks it will help his sociopolitical cause and make him rich and famous. Perhaps even create a deadly virus in his basement laboratory.

12. Faux Snooze is worse on the brain than ebola.

13. Well, you knew this was coming

And the President should have as well. He was taking his chances that Duncan would get cured, and everything would have a happy ending two weeks before the election.

But it didn't work out that way, and the racism is spreading faster than even the Ebola virus. It's not too late for the President to say, "I'm calling on the world to join me, we need to refuse ships and planes that come from these three nations, in order to contain the illness in the smallest part of the globe where it needs to be aggressively fought."

Or, he can just ignore it, and reap the consequences come November 4th.
