Radical leftist film director Michael Moore unsurprisingly picked up where MSNBC's Krystal Ball (and, more recently, former CNN pundit Roland Martin) left off and politicized the ongoing Ebola scare in the U.S. by pointing the finger at the NRA and other regular targets of ire among his ideological fellow travelers. On Thursday, Moore devoted a series of posts on Twitter to an anti-conservative rant about the disease outbreak [h/t: Twitchy.com]:

Let's break it down. "TEXAS HEALTH RESOURCES" Resources? None. Health? Ha! Texas? Well, that pretty much explains the lack of the 1st two.

Texas. The state that questions evolution in its HS textbooks. The state that wants 2 remove Jefferson from a part of its history textbooks.

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

Did u know we don't have a perm Surgeon General during this crisis? Obama nom Dr Vivek Murthy 1yr ago but the NRA & Repubs have blocked him.

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

The left-wing activist then re-Tweeted a post from one of his followers, who bashed the religious beliefs of many conservatives:

@MMFlint Same evolution deniers are on TV worried Ebola will mutate...

Two days earlier, Moore sniped at conservatives on a related matter – the location of the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control:

Red States distrust science. They think climate change is a hoax. They say the Earth is 6K yrs old. Why is the CDC in Georgia? #bedtimefears
