We have implemented the linear response approximation of a method proposed to compute the electron transport through correlated molecules based on the time-independent Wigner function [P. Delaney and J. C. Greer, \prl {\bf 93}, 36805 (2004)]. The results thus obtained for the zero-bias conductance through quantum dot both without and with correlations demonstrate that this method is either quantitatively nor qualitatively able to provide a correct physical escription of the electric transport through nanosystems. We present an analysis indicating that the failure is due to the manner of imposing the boundary conditions, and that it cannot be simply remedied.
