Obama To Send 3,000 Ebola-Fighting Boots-On-The-Ground To Africa; CDC Warns America "Now Is The Time To Prepare"
On the heels of yesterday's almost unbelievable forecasts of the exponential rise in Ebola case counts - and warnings of a 20% chance of Ebola reaching the USA by year-end, WHO officials have confirmed that their previous forecasts of 20,000 cases "does not seem like a lot today." This has, according to Reuters, the United States announced on Tuesday that it would send 3,000 troops to help tackle the Ebola outbreak as part of a ramped-up response including a major deployment in Liberia, the country where the epidemic is spiralling fastest out of control. Perhaps even more worrisome - for those who explained how 'contained' Ebola was - is the CDC's release of an Ebola checklist warning American healthcare workers "now is the time to prepare."
WHO warns the scale of the epidemic is unprecedented...
The unprecedented Ebola outbreak in West Africa requires a $1 billion response to keep its spread within the "tens of thousands" of cases, United Nations officials said on Tuesday.
The virus has killed 2,461 people, half of the 4,985 infected by the virus, and the toll has doubled in the last month, World Health Organization Assistant Director General Bruce Aylward said.
"Quite frankly, ladies and gentlemen, this health crisis we're facing is unparalleled in modern times," Aylward told a news conference in Geneva. "We don't know where the numbers are going on this."
He said the WHO's previous forecast that the number of cases could reach 20,000 no longer seemed a lot, but the number could be kept within the tens of thousands with "a much faster reponse".
As Reuters reports, Obama will unveil plans to send 3,000 troops to Africa today,
The president will visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta on Tuesday to show his commitment. The stepped-up effort he will announce is to include 3,000 military forces and a joint forces command center in Monrovia, capital of Liberia, to coordinate efforts with the U.S. government and other international partners.
The U.S. response to the crisis, to be formally unveiled later by President Barack Obama, includes plans to build 17 treatment centers, train thousands of healthcare workers and establish a military control center for coordination, U.S. officials told reporters.
...
Liberia, a nation founded by descendants of freed American slaves, appealed for U.S. help last week.
"Highly infectious people are forced to return home, only to infect others and continue the spread of this deadly virus. All for a lack of international response," she said.
...
The plan will "ensure that the entire international response effort is more effective and helps to ... turn the tide in this crisis," a senior administration official told reporters on Monday, ahead of the president's trip.
"The significant expansion that the president will detail ... really represents ... areas where the U.S. military will bring unique capabilities that we believe will improve the effectiveness of the entire global response," he said.
...
Obama's administration has requested an additional $88 million from Congress to fight Ebola, including $58 million to speed production of the ZMapp experimental antiviral drug and two Ebola vaccine candidates.
Officials said the Department of Defense had requested to reallocate $500 million in funds from fiscal 2014 to help cover the costs of the humanitarian mission.
And then The Washingotn Examiner reports,
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warning hospitals and doctors that “now is the time to prepare,” has issued a six-page Ebola “checklist” to help healthcare workers quickly determine if patients are infected.
“Every hospital should ensure that it can detect a patient with Ebola, protect healthcare workers so they can safely care for the patient, and respond in a coordinated fashion,” warns the CDC.
“While we are not aware of any domestic Ebola Virus Disease cases (other than two American citizens who were medically evacuated to the United States), now is the time to prepare, as it is possible that individuals with EVD in West Africa may travel to the United States, exhibit signs and symptoms of EVD, and present to facilities,” it adds.

Obama is such a nigger. Why can't he just be a homely black man?
How the fuck are they supposed to do that, exactly, when there is such a thing as an incubation period?
Clever guy.
Send 3,000 troops to Africa to fight Ebola and assuredly bring it back to the US.
Perhaps focus on Ebola in major oil centers like Nigeria.
Some tough fighting there for the Ebola troops.
I would supposrt sending 3,000 combat hardened troops to protect our southern border against disease infected people entering the US ILLEGALLY, as well as the raghead terrorists that are coming across the border as well.
Rules of engagement: shoot.
Let's send 3,000 of Obama's largest donors over there to fight the fight. Soros, a bunch of Hollywood libs, Ron Emanuel, Moooooooooooshell can lead the effort.
Ron?
Maybe we should just fly all the ebola victins to the US.
Now is that a great idea or what?
That gowning procedure is for non-airborne ebola. Spreading that information will only cause it to spread quicker! If the troops don't take more precautions than that, and are exposed to infection, they are going to catch it, period, just like ALL the fucking nurses, doctors and other health workers have.
Worry no more, West Africans! We're from the U. S. government and we're coming to help!
There is no way under the sun that this is not being designed to purposefully bring the shit back home.
The official culling of the herd has begun.
Through this prism, all the billion bullets, FEMA coffins and Camps, it all starts to make sense, fits together cogently.
The NWOs war upon the people
Where can i sign up. I am here to help. I have a death wish.
i pray to god they have better success than they did with the wars on drugs and poverty....
Don't bet the house.
How About Stopping LIBERIAN Etc Flights IN-AND-OUT ???
Naw, That Would Be Too EASY And EFFECTIVE...
Exactly, its not as if Africa has a great maritime tradition, and they will all get on a boat and sail away. Cut off the flights, monitor the NATURAL CHOKEPOINT on the continent (other airports too), the Sinai Peninsula!
So no flying out, I don't care if you are working in Nigeria's oilfields. You can come, but you can't go.
I agree. My company has oil rigs over there and I think the answer is to change the rotation from one to three months and do the crew changes by workboat originating in the US. This should be done for anyone coming from that country. Have them take their time getting back, say 10 days across the Atlantic, then a 14 day quarantine. If there were any cases on board that would cover the incubation period. So commerce could continue but we eliminate bringing the threat home. Working offshore I know a 90 day hitch would be hard and waiting 24 days a pain as well, but it is certainly worth it to prevent endangering my family.
Ebola is the cover story. The US is going to secure resources before China does. It's a global resource war - f'n .gov could give a shit about some lethal virus.
This is nothing but show, there are already thousands of mercenaries - er - advisers in Africa already. They chase out the Chiners and secure the fields, refineries and pipelines.
There is no Ebola in Nigeria, the minister said so over and over.
Only Confirmed cases have to be reported, if we don't test anyone there can never be a confirmed case, problem solved.
Why don't any Chinese in Africa get Ebola?
How do you know they haven't ?
Miffed;-)
New army slogan
"we bleed more from every major orifice before 9 a.m. than most people do all day”
I wouldn't be surprised if these 3000 soldiers are ones deemed too "Conservative and Patriotic" by the Marxist regime. They'll be hand picked because they're suspected of being the type who would side with patriotic Americans, the TEA party, etc. etc. So they'll be forced into an ebola zone to either get sick or disobey the orders so that they can be court martialed and jailed or thrown out of the services.
I just wouldn't put it past this treasonous regime to do something like that to our troops. They're sending them over there, aren't they? I'm sure they will send the ones that they don't like.
America is sending so many troops abroad fighting senseless battles that the homeland security isnt even important anymore. I dont see how troops on the ground will do any good against a virus...its just going to make things worse by incubating the virus back to the homeland. The world is getting insane by the day and the countries that were supposed to stand for democracy (US and thes West) are the ones starting all the shit these past few months.
Regardless the markets like it....I guess that is all that matters.
Whose Homeland?
Mexico?
What would Hitler do in a situation like this?
Why, he'd phone up Reinhard Heydrich.
The Butcher of Prague would order his troops to seal off avenues of escape, shoot every individual that appears to be symptomatic, and torch the resulting corpses using gasoline.
The rate of ebola's spread would quickly fall below a "replacment level".
Setting up more and more tent hospitals might now be doing more harm than good.
Were the Westerners to get the hell out, Africans might stop this epidemic on their own through the bold application of common sense measures.
HomeLand Security is protected by DHS, you know the one bathhouse barry promissed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt2yGzHfy7s
To send in a soldier to do battle with a virus is beyond stupidity. It is suicide. No man should be forced to do battle with an agent he has no ability to defend himself. It is unconscionable they are being forced to do this.
Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
Miffed;-)
Yes, but then Backdoor Barry won't be able to kill you.
...or terrorism, or obesity...
Obama came up with the strategy of sending 3,000 Americans to an Ebola hot zone, thereby dramatically increasing their odds of bringing mutations of the virus back to the U.S. by a factor of 48,000%, while golfing 22 over par at a public golf course.
.
Petri Dishes 'R' Us
22 over par? Fuck! So he can't even play golf. And after all of that practice. Fucking LOSER.
How About Stopping Flights IN-AND-OUT ???
Naw, That Would Be Too EASY And EFFECTIVE...
Already the borders are being locked down. The flights in and out represent a small number of people who could be effectively screened. I haven't heard of new clusters popping up due to air travel.
Malaria
Most deaths occur among children living in Africa where a child dies every minute from malaria. Malaria mortality rates among children in Africa have been reduced by an estimated 54% since 2000.
627,000 died in 2012.
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs094/en/
- where are the fucking troops for this??? something stinks!!
Well, I'm sure the government is lying and/or has ulterior motives, but to be fair, Malaria isn't contagious from human to human. It's spread by specific species of Anopheles mosquitoes. One infected person in an international airport is extremely unlikely to cause a global pandemic. Ebola is another story.
That wouldn't work, you would have to seal ALL THE BORDERS (air, sea, and land) and prevent any contact/mixing between the domestic and foreign populations. Otherwise, you are simply delaying the inevitable.
Given the success (or lack thereof) of simply securing the southern land border... the border security approach simply isn't going to work (the economic WMD impact of that approach isn't particularly appealing either).
On the bright side, the recruiting centers will now have an additional and new marketing pitch.
The land chokepoint for the continent is the Sinai Peninsula, not too far from the Suez canal.
Let people drop their goods at the border, and let an Egyptian/African trucker take it from the border to destination.
Let people enter the continent if they wish, but you can only leave by agreeing to 14 days in quarantine (if symptoms show in that time, sorry, you stay in isolation).
28 days in quarantine?
ZH blogger yesterday reported some nurse developed Ebola soon AFTER
21 days in quarantine.
Of course its possible. The 2-21 day window for no symptoms is like a 95% confidence interval as I understand it. Its also a fucking lie that you can't catch this stuff when someone is asymptomatic. Trust the government with your health, and you may die.
"Through this prism, all the billion bullets, FEMA coffins and Camps, it all starts to make sense, fits together cogently."
you forgot the 'Zombie Apocalypse' Training Drills
now what medical condition in its appearance is closest to zombies?
As of the time of writing 41 upvotes and not a single downvote. ZeroEdge has officially gone to the fringe. The problem is you all are too dumb to realize your are just sheep of a different color: liberal media feeds liberals what they want to hear, conservative media feeds conservatives what they want to hear, and fringe media feeds fringers what they want to hear. It's all about clicks and advertising. Let the downvotes commence, sheeple.
Nah, better just to ignore a fool like you who obviously is seeking attention. Poor guy.
Nope, no attention wanted. I guess the reason for my post was for the one or two reasonable people that still read the zh comments. No need for further discussion, I know I will not convince the fringers that the sky is not constantly falling. Carry on.
Glad you reposted moron. At least it gives us a place to downvote since you obviously don't know the rules per your first post.
I agree with you 100% -- but you get the requested downvote just for "sheeple". It's smug, arrogant, and idiotic; makes you sound like one of the fringers yourself. Wish you hadn't done that.
Meh, there are fringier sites in the intratubez: www.godlikeproductions.com for example.
yep.
Sounds like Obama changed his mind.
But it's part of the overall strategy: humiliate and denigrate the military until somone snaps and tries to shoot Obama, then night of the long knives (NDAA - the lone crazy will turn out to be the trigger man of a 'military cabal') and viola - martial law with a decapitated resistance.
Takes a special skill set to kill an Ebola, you gots to nail em right in the sweet spot with a high caliber bullet traveling at least 2500 FPS. I may be wrong though. I hear lots of monied elite are assembling at Denver International for the millinnial conference on The Right of Kings.
So are you suggesting the 3000 troops
are long range snipers who will not get close to any Ebola infected people?
Rights of Kings?
In Old Testament days,
the Glory of a King was the number of his people,
when every man was a potential soldier.
The more the better.
Guess that is not necessary these modern war days.
.
President Obama is taking the fight against Ebola straight to the source. He's had the Pentagram draw up plans to bomb the Ebola River. Ebola doesn't stand a chance against against Team America, A Global Force For Good®.
More likely Obama will bomb the Ebola River Dam
and Unleash the Ebola River like a Virus Flood upon the World.
Drop them all in Vichy DC and surround it with a "Corleone Sanitaire"...
Hows my French?
Comment on dit "Louisiana Purchase"?
impeachable
Corzine Sanitaire?
We love your French! Translation: "Cordon off the Sanitarium of the Criminally Insane." Right?
Lovely! Our boys get to force the diseased into holding pens at gunpoint and throw food over the wall, occasionally going in to drag out the dead bodies for mass burial. That should make them feel ultra proud just the way they portray military service in the recruitment commercials.
The few....the proud....the carriers.
The few...the proud...the infected.
"from the halls of Montezuma's Revenge"
It will be so uplifting ripping a sick baby from it's mother's arms and telling her she can't be there when/if he dies. Maybe this HAS to be done, but I sure wouldn't want this mission.
Isn't that what they do at Guantanamo?
...Israel comes up with new False Flags near every week.
nice try. i bet you think the muslim's use of human shields isnt wrong either.
It's wrong. But so is pushing the button to actually drop the bombs on people you know are innocent. That's called murder. Apparently you think that's morally higher than the use of human shields?
"they're using human shields and we warned them, so our hands are clean"
Uh... Not quite. Maybe if there were no other options...Since none of Gaza's fireworks/bottle rockets cause damage, never mind casualties, what would the harm be in just letting the occasional nutjob setting off some fireworks in Gaza? If someone starts to get delusions of grandeur and wanting to shoot actual missiles, send in a team of 6 in the night, and take him away.
But this idea that every hospital, apt block, school can be blown up, if there is a possibility of ONE bottle rocket in the vicinity is ridiculous. Israel can do what it wants, but it can't pretend its actions are moral and sanctified afterwards.
Ron abbr. Ronald It is of Old Norse origin, and the meaning of Ronald is "ruler's counselor".
Rahm From Hebrew roots, its meaning is high, lofty -
Either way it fits...
I thought "Rahm" meant "evil, treacherous dual-citizen scum bag".

When selecting the 3,000 troops for this deployment Obama should use the Tuskegee Airmen template.

I'm a registered Democrat. Today at 8:00 am I will be calling the local offices of my Democrat congressman, and our two Democrat senators to tell them of my disgust with this plan. Then I will vote against the 2 who are up for reelection in November, as well as our effing Democrat governor.
They don't give a SHIT !
There is just one PARTY left in this Country and they don't care about YOU!
Wake UP!
Everyone had their chance last election with Ron Paul.
Impeach that bastard. Now.
There is just one PARTY left in this Country and they don't care about YOU!
By jove.....I think he's got it.
You don't really think Boehner is that bad do you? Come on.....really?
Red and blue cash all spends green.
"Impeach that bastard now" Mongo loves that idea , but there is that feeling that starts to come on with that plan....What is it again? What is it....Oh yea the lunatic that will replace him! Fukin biden would have WW III kicked off by next weekend(:-(
Then impeach Biden immediately next,
etcetera ad infinitum,
until we get a United States Patriot as President.
Unfortunately he ran as a Republican so I never got the chance to vote for him. Stupid decision.
Tell your democrat friends to do the same. Not sure we will get anything better but at least it sends a message. Thanks
Your democrat "friends" voted for this twice. Not that the NeoCon RINO amnesty shit heads are much less evil. Dems are just really evil.
At least the (R)etards THINK they are getting something different than what they actually are. See: Tea Party.
(D)umbasses I've yet to understand what they want, other than moar free shit.
It seems to me Dems in general (or 'liberals') fail to see any way their life could be improved by the gov't GETTING OUT THE WAY.
Less income tax paid? Doesn't register (do they pay income tax?).
Less consumption tax? Doesn't register.
Less regulations, forms to fill out, officials to bribe? Doesn't register.
Its like they've been trained to see the 'benefits' of big gov't w/o themselves ever experiencing the pain that results from big gov't (or at least, the two are dissociated from one another).
if he tells his democrat friends they'll have to wear those open-ass gowns like in the hospital it might then get through to them.
everyone - even idiot libs - hate those.
I called all 3 and all i got was an answering machine. Maybe they've gone underground already???????
careful what you wish for. Remember, those troops can be used to keep YOU IN as well. Ending the welfare state is the surefire way to end this. The Berlin wall was not built to keep the west germans from sneaking in and enjoying all the benefits communism had to offer....
My thoughts, too. I suppose normal travel is not moving the needle fast enough.
Three Options if you want to stick around for awhile.
1) Colloidal Silver
2) Sovereign Silver
3) Nano Silver
Many will say they are different, but in truth they are not, the more nano the better, make sure to use a airator when making.
Do your own research and ask yourself why are you not taking it already? Not just for Ebola but for your HEALTH.
I have not found any anti-viral activity from silver. I take Sovereign, and have taken Silver Biotics with success against bacterial infections. Topical mostly.
If you want a potent anti-viral, take green tea extract, the EGCG in it is a potent anti-viral.
I would advise not to make it yourself, as you lose control of both concentration and particle size QC, which I can do here at work, but at home you are SOL.
pods
I’ll be interested to see the size of the crowds greeting these troops and giving them hugs at the airport when they return.
For some reason I have visions of those yellow ribbon magnets, speckled with red dots, like someone just coughed up blood on it.
Forsythia is the cure!
In one of my more morbid thought experiments, I had a pretty dark thought. What if Israel bombed the shit out of Gaza to create not a buffer for rockets, but to be able to more effectively cordon sanitaire the larger part of their territory against a global outbreak?
I see you must of seen World War Z with Brad Pitt?
Ha, no. Never saw it, butj ust read up on it on IMDB. I should write scripts!
The bomb builders in Gaza are more than capable of building a contemporary version of M114 warhead and affixing it to their current stash of rockets...
(they could also MacGyver a common RC toy/drone with a readily available insecticide spray pack...)
Ebola has always been Plan B.
Starting WWIII has always been No #1 , time is running out to make something happen & FAST !
West vs East
My wealth NOT money is on East !
Yes, you are correct. Like AIDS before it, they need the reality or the fiction that the target group includes us, the non target group. They 20% chance was too low, therefore send in the troops to make that chance 100%. All by design.
NIgeria did dump US Dollars for Chinese Yuan. Could be some retaliation for rejecting the dollar and lower oil prices. Just saying....

Clever guy.
"Send 3,000 troops to Africa to fight Ebola and assuredly bring it back to the US."
Perhaps that's why they are sending them...maybe they want to thin our herd a bit.
War and Pestilence......
I would have thought the Predator Drones could deliver pinpoint strikes against identified Ebola strongholds, delivering a devastating 1-2 punch of Lysol and pulp-free orange juice.
To clarify, the OJ is intended as a disinfectant. The Lysol is to be taken orally as needed until the threat of contracting the virus has passed.
Send 3,000 troops to Africa to fight Ebola and assuredly bring it back to the US.
No. I'm fairly certain he's talking about sending a Marine Expeditionary Unit there. It's a 4 ship Naval detachment with a whole buncha Marines embarked, similar to the deployment of troops (including me) sent to Somalia in response to Black Hawk Down. The incubation and infections, if they happen, would be long over by the time the troops get close to the US.
What a nightmare. I am so sorry for all that serve that this is even possible. If our so called leaders push too hard, things could get more interesting than they planned on.
Military Coup D'Etat ?
Now or Never, Before it is Way Too Late,
Get rid of Treasonous Obama.
@ Pinto Currency: "Clever guy. Send 3,000 troops to Africa to fight Ebola and assuredly bring it back to the US."
95% of you are such (predictable) one-move thinkers. Sauron's Umbrella Corporation and the US Army need it as a Full-Dress, Limited-Engagement exercise for when TSHTF (WW3): The Pope's or "Piecemeal WW3" (Beta Version) scales up against Russian and China. The Real and Ultimate Enemies. IOW...

There is a reson for those old stories.
How the fuck are they supposed to do that, exactly, when there is such a thing as an incubation period?
You are not contagious while carrying the virus, only once you start exhibiting symptoms and then you go to the hospital. So there is no need to worry. Everything is OK until that exact specific moment in time when you go from perfectly healthy, to bleeding from your eyes, at which time you will go to the hospital. Don't worry about it.
There is going to be a massive amount of people signing up for Obamacare so they can go to the hospital to make sure that their flu-like symptoms are not due to Ebola, and get treatment if they are infected.
Got Ebolacare?
Genius.
That dude pictured above is a WALKING CATASTROPHE

Hmmm, let's train our troops to fight wars and battles, AND THEN send them to disease laden Africa to battle a disease? Am I really reading this???
Those poor troops! I would rather gamble my future fighting Muslims in Syria vs an airborne disease. Fuck that!
Obamamma is such an ass!
When I read this strange member, I looked in the mirror and saw your avatar. I have no words for this. Even " Were so Fucked" seems woefully deficient. I pray for a coup d'état to save us. This is so WRONG WRONG WRONG. Dear God, please keep me from despair!
Miffed;-)
I cannot believe that the Military will send their troops into a suicide mission.
And bring Ebola back to their Home Base camps where their families live.
Stand Down order, refuse to obey Obama,
Passive aggressive Coup D'Etat.
"How the fuck are they supposed to do that, exactly, when there is such a thing as an incubation period?"

You know how many Russian and Chinese troops are fighting Ebola in AFRICA? 0.
Why the FUCK are we sending our military to Africa AT ALL? And for all things....EBOLA? E FUCKING BOLA?
Reason those dumb chimps have Ebola in the first place is for eating road kill or "bush meat". Not only are those assholes eating road kill research Patrick Sawyer (the Nigerian diplomat) who after learning he had Ebola began urinating on his doctors and nurses.
Sooner the dollar loses it's reserve status the better.
Take your racebaiting to Chimpout or other like-minded sites. You're discrediting a legitimate site by spewing your venom openly and publicly. You are an embarrassment, and reflect poorly on the people who post here.
I'm race baiting?
My Curious George looking President and his Atty General have done nothing BUT race bait for the last 6 years.
The "If I had a son he would have looked like Trayvon" Obama and "I'm going to and investigating Fergusson MO personally because I was pulled over and black" Holder.
Obama is a stupid n.i.g.g.e.r. No country respects the U.S any longer, the dollar is losing it's reserve status, our economy sucks, test scores are down, America get's fatter by the day, we might as well not even have borders any longer and now we're sending in the US military to deal with E fuck bola.
Obama has done nothing but fuck up the country.
By using such an incendiary word, you've lost any hope of convincing the more moderate views to listen to the rest of your argument. I don't disagree that BO and his admin are the worst ever, but tossing that word out there (true or not) is not helping make your point. It only furthers the claim from outsiders who might have considered reading ZH articles/comments that the place is full of racists.
You have blacks and niggers. Whites and trailer trash. Hispanics and spicks. Arabs and doon koons.
Obama is a nigger. Nigger nigger nigger.
Look, he totally sucks. No contest.
But, you're an idiot.
This is Fight Club. He can SAY anything, any way he wants. 1st Amendment?
Yeah, except for part where the Tyler's said he can't (lower RH panel disclaimers and legalese)
It's a privately owned site. The First Amendment has nothing to do with it.
If you read the First Amendment, you'll find that it restricts the power of Congress to make certain kinds of laws. It doesn't say that the Tylers need to spend their time and money providing a forum for every tinfoil-hatted, race-baiting, under-medicated mouth-breather on the Internet.
Correct.
Freedom Of Speech does not mean I won't punch you in the mouth for what you just speeched.
It means you can try to sue the govermnent for knocking your teeth out, for using your "Free Speech".
Hey, I resent that. If you are not tinfoil-hatted...you should be. Now get the fuck off our site.
Is he here for an Argument? 5 Minute or Half-hour?
An Argument is not just a reflexive negation of words, i.e. tossing out Flame/Fuel Words, because it creates an Emotional response, rather than a Cerebral response?
I submit that he's using Fuel Words as Molotov Cocktails (to incite the uni-brows), and not as Fuel-in-the-Tank, to propel the Car/Argument (of people with IQ >100).
Let's compromise.
He is a mulatto deviant homosexual.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
In or Out of the Closet?
Just tolerant.
I call Bullshit on "tolerant". There is NO such thing as "Tolerant". No living entity could survive if it were truly "Tolerant". Every living entity DISCRIMINATES and NEEDS to, to survive.
So it comes down to defining what is "generally acceptable" by a Society and what is not. As a libertarian, I do NOT accept the premise or position that the US.gov or the MSM high priests are the ones to DICTATE what is "acceptable" and what is not, when it comes to "Tolerance".

It's not outsiders, but insiders as well who have noticed the huge influx of infantile racist posters who not only are racists but stupid and repeat the same shit over and over. At least come up with new material.
And that's my point. The racist posts (and the upvotes for them) do more harm than any good that may come from the validity the point the poster(s) are trying to make. It's a shame.
I like to be able to forward ZH articles to family and friends, without feeling the need to defend the site as something other than a collection of hood-wearing, noose-slinging racists. There are sites devoted to that kind of thing. I respect their right to talk that way, but just wish it wasn't in here - where there is far more valuable and important content which more people need to absorb.
Well, at the very least you should tell your friends ZH is monitored, and there are many trolls/paid posters. Seriously, have you ever considered how easy it would be to 'defame' a website that has open comments?
