Ann Coulter Rails Against 'Free Medical Treatment' For Ebola Victims

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter on Wednesday joined the bandwagon of right-wing critics questioning why President Barack Obama hasn't instituted a travel ban for the African countries battling the Ebola epidemic — perhaps with the goal of preventing those who are infected from getting "free medical treatment" here in the U.S.

In her syndicated column, Coulter contrasted a U.S. government-imposed travel ban to Israel during the conflict in Gaza this summer — which lasted one day — with the the government's current policy toward flights originating in the affected West African countries.

"It's becoming increasingly clear this is just another platform for Obama to demonstrate that we are citizens of the world," she wrote. "The entire Ebola issue is being discussed — by our government, not the United Nations — as if Liberians are indistinguishable from Americans, and U.S. taxpayers should be willing to pay whatever it takes to save them."

Coulter accused Obama of not wanting to "protect Americans" from the deadly virus and of treating the doctors, nurses and military members dispatched to West Africa to combat the outbreak as "expendable."

1. If I had the money, I would pay for a full expense paid

vacation for her to Liberia, a one way ticket of course.

[Initech]

5. Let's get a Kickstarter campaign going!

Send Ann Coulter on a one way trip to Liberia!

[City Lights]

13. I would gladly chip in for that!

[hifiguy]

2. Well, this is certifiably

[Avalux]

3. I'm not going to say what I'm thinking about that woman....

it's too horrible to wish such a thing on another human being.

[deutsey]

8. I know...I never wish someone would drop dead

but, in her case, I'm very close.

11. As Clarence Darrow once said:

"I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction."

4. I'm still waiting for her to demonstrate her contention that radiation is good for you

I've previously said that she should demonstrate this belief by offering to clean up the Fukushima site with her bare hands.

6. i gag at the sight of her name

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Maybe she should volunteer to help the sick Americans.

Or at least visit them in the hospital to let them know she cares about them because they are Americans.

Betcha that venomous stick-insect homunculus hasn't the guts to step foot within 100 miles of an ebola patient.

9. Ann, you would serve your country well ...

if you went on a lengthy fact finding trip to Monrovia.

Stay there a while and get the real in depth story.

[marlakay]

10. Would she rather they spread it all over

By staying home? I think is a sh.. disturber.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Coulter is a troll, nothing more.

[treestar]

14. Money is all these people care about

Money, money, money. Well in the case of communicable diseases, since they could get it themselves, it is in their own selfish interest that people be treated for ebola, quarantined, etc. no matter what the expense.

15. Is Ann now qualified as a Sociopath or Psychopath or both?
