Bill O’Reilly: CDC Director Tom Frieden “Should Resign” (Video)

FOX News host Bill O’Reilly called for CDC Directro Tom Frieden to resign in his Monday night’s Talking Points Memo.

“There is no compelling reason why West Africans should be admitted to the US when there is an Ebola epidemic raging in that region. Think about it, this is a national security issue. Is it not? What reason on this earth, not to suspend visas from that area? The truth is, there is no reason just a bunch of excuse making…

…We asked CDC director Tom Frieden to appear on The Factor. He will not because he is afraid. He knows that I know he’s not being candid, that he is spinning the situation and not being forthcoming about how the disease is being spread.

Frieden should resign

Believing that civilian airport people in JFK, or Newark, or Dulles Airport can spot Ebola that is dormant, believing that is stupid and irresponsible and puts all Americans at risk.

This Sound Bite Is All the Proof You Need That Political Correctness Is Destroying This Country

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2014/10/03/this_sound_bite_is_all_the_proof_you_need_that_political_correctness_is_destroying_this_country

RUSH: Last night Anderson Cooper 24 spoke with author David Quammen about the book Ebola: The Natural and Human History of a Deadly Virus and How America Should Respond to It.

Anderson Cooper said, "There are those who say that there should not be flights allowed from Liberia to US, even flights that have connected through Europe. That's not even really possible. First of all, I don't think there are many flights that directly connect from Monrovia to the US. Most of them are connection flights, so it's virtual impossible in real time like that to track somebody, I would think."

QUAMMEN: You can't isolate neighborhoods; you can't isolate nations. It doesn't work. And people talk about, "Well, we shouldn't allow any flights from Liberia." I mean, we in America, how dare we turn our backs on Liberia? Given the fact that this is a country that was founded in the 1820s, 1830s because of American slavery, we have a responsibility to stay connected with them and help them see this through.

RUSH: There. Have you doubted anything about this that I have been attributing to political correctness all week? There you have it. How dare we turn our backs on Liberia? How dare we ban flights! How dare we? Liberia only exists because of American slavery. We owe them by sharing the burden.

I want you to hear this again. All week long I have been attempting to convince everybody of how the tentacles of political correctness are slowly destroying the backbone and the spine of this country, and not just the backbone and the spine. Political correctness destroys common sense. Political correctness is a direct attack on achievement and success. It's an attack on the extraordinary. It's an attack on excellence.

And that's why it's made to order for the Democrat Party, made to order for liberalism. Now, who is this guy? This guy is an author. His name is David Quammen, he's written a book, Ebola: The Natural and Human History of a Deadly Virus, and he was on CNN with Anderson Cooper last night. He's an acknowledged, quote/unquote, "expert" on Ebola and how America should respond to it.

Anderson Cooper basically, in the question says, "Look, there aren't any direct flights from Africa to the US, certainly not from Monrovia, Liberia. We can't stop them. We can't stop all these flights. There's no way. It's virtually impossible, right?" And then this guy's answer: "Not only is it impossible, we have no business stopping these flights! We have no business trying to keep Ebola out of this country, especially from Liberia."

We're guilty, folks. We essentially deserve this. (replaying of sound bite) Let me ask a question. Okay. So... (interruption) I know, I know, I know. Everybody's shouting things at the radio. Let me go through these one at a time. We are not "turning our backs on Liberia" by keeping Ebola out of this country. A total non sequitur! We are helping. We're doing everything we can.

We sent every bit of serum that we had over to Liberia and other countries. We've done a lot to try to help isolate it. Keeping Ebola out of America is not turning our backs on Liberia. And then, of course, "Why, we are responsible for Liberia. Why, if we hadn't had slavery, that poor black people had to flee from, why, there wouldn't be a Liberia. Therefore, there wouldn't be any poor slave descendants in Liberia to even get Ebola if it weren't for us."

So we are ultimately responsible for them getting Ebola because if it weren't for us and slavery they wouldn't even be there, and so we can't turn our backs on them. That country was founded because of American slavery, and therefore -- since it's all our fault -- we have a responsibility to stay connected. And, by God, if any of them that we sent over there back in the 1800s because of slavery, want to come back here, who the hell are we to say no? Because everything that's happened to them is our fault.

Hello, political correctness.

And there you have it.

BOR was really snapping at everyone last night, which is good as it may get some people’s attention.

Banning hot zone travelers from our shores would help those countries by us not trotting it back to them. Yeah, that’s crazy talk.

"Why, we are responsible for Liberia. Why, if we hadn't had slavery, that poor black people had to flee from, why, there wouldn't be a Liberia. Therefore, there wouldn't be any poor slave descendants in Liberia to even get Ebola if it weren't for us."

Who are we to deny Liberians from going to Disney World and killing our children? Or flying jets and killing the business people who make this country work?

Where is the US Ebola Czar, Dr. Nicole Lurie?

And what has she been up to for the last six years?

Kenya, Ivory Coast and Nigeria, last I checked, having predominently African populations in Africa, have banned flights from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. If these nations have no problem with it, why should we? Maybe it’s cultural similar to having the ‘n’ word be used by black people without criticism.

Adolf agrees with Bill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=K8u4OZvS-oo

Seriously, BOR nailed this one on the head. Frieden is an incompetent, political ASS. He cares more for his job and protecting Obola than for the safety of the American people.

What he SHOULD do is walk into Obola’s office, let him know how bad this disease is and how critical it is to stop more from coming here, and demand that Obola ban travel from West Afria immediately. Frieden should tell Obama that if he doesn’t do this, he will resign and hold a presser to tell the public about how much danger there is, and why he is resigning.

Those countries don’t have white liberal elites who get off on wallowing in guilt.
