OK I'll (vanity) it: The Mexican flu is total Bull. Must be a distraction.

Posted on 04/25/2009 5:37:59 PM PDT by Cringing Negativism Network

Haven't seen so much media-generated hysteria since forever.

But it's all bull. Smoke. All of it.

Every. Single. Year. 30,000 Americans are killed by this exact same Flu. Type A.

How many Americans have succumbed to this one?

(that's a rhetorical question)

I suspect, this is all an elaborate ruse. To cover up our "dear leader's" plummeting approval numbers.

Someone, has been doing some polling. That's what I think.

The sky is not falling.

We're not doomed.

For crying out loud. The media are nitwits.

That's really the point.

Not even since Bird Flu? SARS? Y2K?

Tammy Bruce, who is on right now, says it’s an attempt by the Mexican Govt to give itself the right to close the border and suppress civil liberties.

More people died from mid-September to early December in 1918 than have died of AIDS in its 24-year scourge...

Kind of convenient when OBAMA and his group of SOCIALIST elected officials and criminals want to pass Socialized Medicine...They’re gonna scare everyone into voting for it.

Damn I wish I could believe they wanted to close the border.

There are plans to 'fix' Mexico's problems, and this seems the perfect opportunity.

Notice Perry's down with it.

So am I.

That's fewer Americans than are killed on our roads and highways.

And that's WITHOUT Ted Kennedy driving.

This is not the exact same flu. This is a strain of it. I won’t say head for the hills but there is a reason why the CDC and virologists are watching it very closely, when a virus mutates a lot of bad things can happen.

I agree. what a bunch of crap. Ugh! Obama is such a creepy loser. Who is he going to bow down to next? What an a$$ he is!

I believe they are overblowing it. every credible story I’ve seen says it’s a mild form of H1N1. People’s immune systems for the most part are able to build up and fight it off.

They want an excuse to implement martial law through the medical emergency health powers act, and then go after anyone who refuses to take whatever crap they want to inject you with. Or at least identify who will give them problems in the future when the real takeover begins.

May I add ‘members of the media are lazy, self-serving, mostly left leaning, barely competent nitwits’.

I’m not so sure about your premise. M. Savage has been saying ranting about how this shows that the pro-immigrationists are dangerous and how this has come about because of our open borders. If his take on it is right, then this could cause more of the sheeple to go right, and against Obama.

“Haven’t seen so much media-generated hysteria since forever.

Acid rain? Killer bees? Cell phone brain tumors? Nuclear-power-created giant cyclops ants?

If the media doesn’t have us biting our nails in abject terror they’re not happy. And if you complain about it, you’re a “radical right-wing knuckle-dragging dittohead”.
