MacCallum: School canceled at sign of ‘1st snowflake’ but not for Ebola?

http://twitter.com/#!/countryokie1/status/518006380683206656

A man from Liberia remains hospitalized with Ebola in Dallas, Texas, the people in an apartment where he had been staying are being quarantined (kind of), and about 100 people who had contact with the infected man are being monitored.

What about area schools? Martha MacCallum had a priorities question:

Explain to me why we cancel school at the 1st snowflake, but not for #Ebola ? Who loses if the Texas school takes a few days off?

Are authorities simply not taking the threat seriously enough?

@marthamaccallum Snow does not transform America. . . when will media get it?

— Sarah Moore (@LooneyTunes002) October 3, 2014

@marthamaccallum That would be admitting we got a potentially BIG problem. Allot of citizen may die of Ebola cause by PoliticalCorrectness

— Daniel Foynes (@DanielFoynes) October 3, 2014

@marthamaccallum I don't buy Dr Frieden analysis. CDC doesn't know as much as they think about it. He spins as a politician and is guessing

@marthamaccallum people need to do what is best for their child and not what is best for the schools funding..

— Barbara Carr (@BeYourselfBarb) October 3, 2014

@marthamaccallum Parents should not send their kids to school. None!

— molcuta (@molcuta) October 3, 2014

@marthamaccallum so true . I live here at ground zero and Martha , people are really scared to send their little ones to school.

Ebola concerns may not have prompted area school closings, but weather has:

@marthamaccallum Agree! Some Dallas schools are closed today do to power outages,blessing in disquise.Too many ppl downplaying Ebola risk

— brandi (@itsjustboo) October 3, 2014

@marthamaccallum @JaniceDean says lots of Dallas schools closed bcuz storms. Maybe God closed the schools bcuz the superintendent wouldn't?

— Exozone (@Exozone) October 3, 2014

@marthamaccallum mother nature did just that. Dallas ISD closed today. Power outage from big storms yesterday

— Randy Maxwell (@Maxhawk4) October 3, 2014

Michelle Fields refers to Phil Robertson as ‘racist’; Evidence for claim requested

http://twitter.com/#!/ChristinaN_BigD/status/413892564845350912

Not that critics of Phil Robertson need any extra assistance, but count frequent “Hannity” guest Michelle Fields among those who have labeled the “Duck Dynasty” star racist:

http://twitter.com/#!/MichelleFields/status/413892389711790081

Fields also retweeted this:

http://twitter.com/#!/Nickidewbear/status/413894520846049281

The article linked above offered as “evidence” that Robertson is a racist puts words in his mouth. For example, Robertson never said African-Americans were “happier under Jim Crow,” but rather those words are the author’s interpretation of what Robertson said, which was a description of his personal experience in pre-civil rights Louisiana.

These tweeters would rather Fields judge Robertson based on what he actually said on this issue and not from separate, agenda-driven interpretations of those words:

Does this shooting reaction sum up the clear difference between Left, Right?

http://twitter.com/#!/Helen47/status/525723458676609024

As Twitchy reported, there is awful news out of Washington state today. A shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, with reports of multiple injuries. We join everyone in praying for the victims and all affected by this tragic shooting.

Does what happens after such tragedies show a clear difference between the Left and the Right? RedState contributor and head writer for Blaze TV’s “Dana,” Ben Howe thinks so.

The Left rushes to politicize each tragedy in order to further its gun-grabbing end. We’ve seen it time and time again. It’s not concern for the victims; if it was, they’d want people to be able to defend themselves or others.

Plus, that’s what suits their narrative.

And another difference:

Heads-up, lapdog development: Actor James Woods is tweeting just as before.

As we’ve been informed through oh-so-esteemed MSM, President Obama cannot inform a lie. He just “misspeaks” and helps make “incorrect guarantees.”
