Liberia to Prosecute Man Who Brought Ebola to US

48. Thanks, mainer. Some of MSM wants us to react like this:

That's from the 'Burn the Witch' scene. I can just picture some people who are panicking starting to shoot anyone they think is from Africa, to save the USA from Ebola.

Just like the characters at the border who wanted to shoot the kids coming across because they were 'bringing diseases.' The GOP is still running on the belief that Mexicans, etc. are bringing Ebola.

Gays were targeted during the Reagan era for 'spreading AIDS' and that mindset has resurged again in some circles and it's also being used politically by the RWnuts.

Muslims in the USA are now seeing an uptick in threats and violence since ISIL started up and this can be the same thing. We don't want mobs of ignorant people roving about looking for whoever they're being told is a danger to them.

Nor do we need the likes of Gohmert who is running with his claim that Obama's plan with sending troops specially trained to work with diseases to Africa is his plan to bring them back and kill millions of Americans!

He sent them there to end the anarchy and panic breaking out there, which ensures more deaths and the possibility of it going global. I appreciate your links on this...

I won't get on board with any kind of mentality that blames human victims and not the disease. All of this is in the news to panic Americans instead of the good news of the CDC's progress on a vaccine for the disease released in September, but given no press. This is the Segretti method to run too much to refute just before an election.

And MSM isn't going to help keep things factual. There is an excellent piece by Charles Pierce on how this is being fanned to a flame by the media. The calmer voices are being shouted down.
