Wednesday night, "CNN Tonight" guests Ben Ferguson and Van Jones both agreed on some things: that in light of the Ebola case in Dallas Texas, a travel ban is not called for, that Obama wasn't responsible for the person getting the virus, and that people are “overreacting”. Van Jones then went on to assert that Laura Ingraham was using “birther bait” when she suggested that Obama "…has an enormous amount of, I think, you know, core ties to the African continent. He's mindful of his own family history there... Come on, it doesn't make any sense not to have stopped these flights from coming in."
Van Jones said. “This is stupid, this is low. The World Health Organization, nobody has been saying we should be stopping planes coming here at this point.” He spoke with such certitude. However, their main point was to “protect” the president against any criticism….. that means that anyone who is questioning his or his administration’s decisions regarding this subject, must be called “stupid”, racist, and have their motives questioned and summarily dismissed.
Similarly, a popular writer stated “It’s not out of the realm of possibility that we’ll see other cases here in the US, but, seriously: relax. We got this.” And further, “do not lose sleep about the potential for Ebola to spread across the US. It’s not going to.”
What is the message here? You are “stupid” to speak out about it (Ebola); there is no reason to know anything about it -- because “they got it”, they “know about it”, it is “under control”. Finally, those who speak about it, question or worry about getting it and question why it is that we have no travel restrictions are not only stupid… such actions might be “racist”…

Yeah. Van Jones is my go-to guy when I want to expose others’ political motivations.
You want a travel ban and border security, let's all go vomit on the sidewalks near the United Nations Buildings. That will shut things down and lock the borders up in a blink of an eye.
Inside the cleaned up and regular guy next door image is a filthy demon who would happily and without remorse send every conservative off to labor camps.
A travel ban is warranted. And thats not racist either.
I agree, Van. You are both.
Narcissism and over-weening self-confidence — “It is impossible for anything bad to ever happen; after all: we are in charge. So it’s all good.”
Even Kenya (among other countries, including the UK) had the good sense to stop flights from the affected region.
EX CON ADVISE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN
Their policy is to close the barn door after the horse is out.
“Their policy is to close the barn door after the horse is out.”
Because it’s not fair we have a horse.
It’s official, common sense is DEAD
How long until common sense is deemed illegal?
PC kills. It killed many gay men during the Aids virus epidemic.
I would be hard pressed to name anything else that is as just plain WRONG as political “correctness”!
