There’s one President Obama conspiracy theory that conservative author Dinesh D’Souza isn’t buying.
Speaking Wednesday with Newsmax TV’s Steve Malzberg, D’Souza said some of the President’s critics were off the mark in saying that he wouldn’t protect Americans from the Ebola virus because he feels a connection to and a sense of guilt for Africa.
“There is a view I’ve seen out on the web that somehow Obama wants to see an Ebola infection in America because he because he doesn’t see why Africa should have one and we shouldn’t have one, so he’s in a certain anti-colonial revenge,” D’Souza told Malzberg.
“I think that’s probably going too far,” he added. “I can’t imagine — and I mean, I have a very low view of Obama, I think he’s a messed up guy in all kinds of ways. But I think it would be going too far to say that he actually wants to inflict an epidemic on the United States.”
D’Souza isn’t above cracking an “OBOLA” joke, but he wouldn’t say that Obama was to blame for cases of the Ebola virus on U.S. soil, as Fox News’ Dr. Keith Ablow had.
“He has it in for us as disappointing people. People who’ve been a scourge on the face of the Earth,” Ablow said recently on Fox News Radio. “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?'”
D’Souza is currently serving out eight months in a community confinement center after pleading guilty to violating campaign finance law.

Wait for it… RINO!
To be honest, only someone who was crazy paranoid would believe that, so this doesn’t raise my opinion of D’Souza.
He’s still a dumbass.
“I think that’s probably going too far,”
Probably. He couldn’t even say it without a caveat.
Your headline is misleading, TPM.
I thought Mumia was the only inmate allowed to give TV interviews.
“I think he’s a messed up guy in all kinds of ways” says a longtime poppycock purveyor currently chilling in a glorified jail about the President of the United Fucking States. Self-awareness is not a big thing among these characters, is it?
OTOH he’s suggesting the same individual, despite how messed up he is, doesn’t, in fact, want there to be a terrifying epidemic in this country. Fair! Balanced! Nay, statesmanlike. Tell us more, Dinesh; make us better informed.
