Politico’s David Nather cast the most mentioned Republican presidential contenders as un-presidential on Friday in a story headlined “GOP 2016ers on Ebola: Panic.” Only Rick Perry was the responsible one, he implied:
For once, President Barack Obama and Texas Gov. Rick Perry are on the same page. At separate briefings on the Ebola crisis, Obama administration officials and Perry have delivered the same message:
Don’t panic — the health authorities know what they’re doing. But for other Republicans — and conservative media outlets — it’s time for panic.
The likely 2016 Republican presidential candidates — except for Perry — are practically lining up to warn that the Obama administration isn’t doing enough to keep Ebola out of the United States, now that Dallas is dealing with the nation’s first confirmed case.
Nather listed Rand Paul stoking fears on the Laura Ingraham radio show, and Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan, and Bobby Jindal all talking out loud about banning flights from western Africa or quarantining passengers before they fly out.
When he reached out for experts, Nather found most experts didn't find it weird or paranoid to raise questions about the government response -- in other words, they don't have the knee-jerk Obama-defending impulses the reporter does -- but he still wanted to honor Perry as the sane, presidential one....

Panic should be reserved solely for global warming.
It sounds like the flat Earthers down at Politico are Ebola epidemic deniers. They’d do and say anything for their Kenyan.
They've already proven that they do not.
When it hits the gay community then and only then will “progressives” show concern.
Or Muslims.
It’s not homo anus rot, so the left couldn’t care less.
They will find out that ebola is no respecter of persons.
It doesn’t care if you’re D or R, straight or gay, black or white, rich or poor, christian or muslim or whether or not you believe in global warming.
This is as bad as gun grabbers dancing on people’s graves to advance gun control
That is an image I will carry with me ‘til morning...

IOW, he’s a Partisan Media Shill, and a liar.

Just wait until flu season hits to see what a completely paralyzed nation that battens down the barricades REALLY looks like as millions have symptoms that are much like how Eboli starts off! And thank you, President Obola for your “fundamental transformation” when flu season hits! Oh, and PLEASE let’s keep those West African shuttles flying back and forth, since obviously it would do no good anyway with your open borders policy. Oh, and everyone? Be sure to vote a straight Democrat ticket in November: they really DO care about you folks, ya’ll hear? After all:
“Now, I am not on the ballot this fall,” Obama stressed. “... But make no mistake: My policies are on the ballot — every single one of them.” (Including unrestricted West African air flights.)

I think it will hit the journalistas a lot faster than anyone thought, and it will spread there with amazing rapidity — then we will see some real panic.
Exampli gratia: “Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins bragged to reporters about wearing the same shirt to the press conference he wore while he was, just thirty minutes earlier, driving the family exposed to the Ebola virus to their new secret luxury four-bedroom home.”
All the libsuck media marvels are oohing and ahhing now, but it will be a different story next week when they are coughing and puking. Just like the idiot leftists that go to the sandbox to hook up with the ISIS types, these dingalings think they have some kind of immunity. They don’t, and the Gods of the Copybook Headings will prove it to them.
I cannot wait until I get labeled an ebolaphobic
You’re right. I’ll bet that’s in our future. Nothing but a bunch of “rasis” ebolaphobes. It’s all the communists have.
