This article demonstrates the last delusional thrashings of a suicidal mental disorder, (Thank you Michael Savage for crystallizing that characterization for us).

All their stories on this are transparently BS and they can't see it themselves.

The survivors will deal with these kinds of people before this is over.

Only flights coming in and out for supplies are allowed. If flights are allowed, the passengers will be required to spend 21 days in quarantine.

The question isn’t whether or not a travel ban would work. We’re not looking for an on/off switch for ebola.

The point is that a travel ban would probably significantly reduce the risk of citizens getting ebola in my non-medical opinion.

Jewish Ghettos, isolated, were not affected by the plague. Will these people ever refer to history instead of vague reports of “dont work, wont work, blablabla”?

[John S Mosby]

If, in response to the exponential outbreak in West Africa known to US intel 9 months ago, all flights and/or passengers originating from West Africa would have been barred from entering the US under ANY conditions— why then by God nobody would have been infected here.

The lack of understanding of this simple expedient- proven time and again in disease vector control-is explained by the PC mental contortions needed to ignore the obvious for the sake of “fairness” and world peace. Bollocks.

Only moron libs could get their minds around the mindset that says “you cannot get ebola from riding on a bus, but someone with ebola riding on the bus can infect someone else”, and then to apply that perigrination on the head of a pin to our sacred country. Diseased minds working for a truly demented leadership.

Seal off Africa, no one out and anyone that can't keep themselves from going to aid victims, don't get back out either!!! No one out until there hasn't been an obola case for 6 months!!!

Are their editorial meetings still in Nancy Pelosi’s office or has Politico moved to the OFA building?

[Rummyfan]

And this time, experts inside and outside the administration warned, throttling travel would hammer already devastated West African countries, make it difficult to send relief where it’s needed, and send an unknown number of infected travelers into the shadows, increasing the difficulty of knowing how many were entering the U.S.

BullSh*t, Bullsh*t, BULLSH*T!

[databoss]

It is sad that if isolated these African countries suffer disproportionately but if it saves the spread to the world so be it.

[Red in Blue PA]

Call and email your Congress people to enact a travel ban.

[Delta Dawn]

This is right out of the White Hut press room...The real point of their argument is that since the administration is not adult enough to deal with this situation, then it would be pointless to do the adult thing and close travel FROM West Africa...

[scfirewall]

Aahhhhhhh......The old “Experts say” routine. Brings back memories of the 3 channel universe. Jane Pauley and Tom Nrokaw hosting the today show, and guest expert Chrissy Matthews of the San Francisco Examiner here to tell us why anything associated with Ronald Reagan is either wrong, stupid,or evil.

No need for a counter point of view, Mr Matthews is an “expert”

[USS Alaska]

But the reality, the experts say, is that those kinds of measures have failed before.

But I can't remember where and when...

[1010RD]

Politico might as well set up shop at the DNC HQ.

[Lucky9teen]

This line of thinking is the biggest pantload of BS ever.

[N. Theknow]

Banning travel to/from Ebola stricken countries to save lives...won't work.

Banning soft drinks over 16 ounces to save lives...works like a charm.

What astounding stupidity!

[Amagi]

Pure comedy gold to see libtards pretzel their heads up their butts.

[xzins]

make it difficult to send relief where it’s needed

That is just BS. Why would stopping flights from Liberia to the US and stopping passports from Liberia to the US in any conceivable way stop relief from getting in to Liberia?

The same logic would say that we should let the infected nurses run free because if we don't we'll not be able to get them any support in the hospital.

Banning travel to/from Ebola stricken countries to save lives...won't work.

Obama appointed Al Sharpton as Deputy Ebola Czar.

"Get free plane tickets to Liberia from the Ebola Czar."
