Dylan Ratigan lost his mind, but found his bias while “discussing” the tea party movement. Except for one thing – there really wasn’t much discussion. It was mostly Ratigan losing his friggin’ mind.
“I don’t want to continue with this. You’re wasting valuable oxygen. Can we cut off this man’s microphone? It was offensive. You’re offensive. Your treatment of my show as a vehicle to spread your propaganda, ignore my questions – offensive. And an indication of what is wrong with the dialog in this country – period. Not to mention a group that would accept Nazis and racists.”
What we love most is that Ratigan’s subject was Anger In America, yet he’s the one who got angry while his guest remained completely calm.
Yes, we hate the media.

This guy, that frankly I honestly never heard of before now, is doing what's known as 'pulling an Eddie'....That is, pulling an Ed Schultz, the low rated low iq host of another msnbc show. The manuever is quite simple...if no one is watching your show, make a ridiculous, off the wall, ranting gaffe so egregious that the news sites will play it and in the hopes that it will go viral.
wow WOW WOW!!!
you people all make me sad ....... you justify prejuduce you glory in inbred isolationism you poke fun at people that are angry at being marginalized because they're different and yet if their different from YOUR point of view they're demonized over and over again
what a 5 star joke you so call americans have become ....fair and honest ...the only thing fair and honest is the honestly FEARFUL language every time they speak
Bob, I seriously doubt you are feeling "sad". Probably more like frustrated. "Inbred isolationism"? We Americans arising above our past. Pick anywhere in the world, ANYWHERE, and you will see impending racial train wrecks. Just who is demonizing? Try doing your homework before spouting off! Either be funny, or relevant or at least truthful? FAIL! As my 5th grade teacher always said: You can go away mad, but do go away!
Psssst! This man is crazy. If any regular American acted like this they would be hauled to jail and thence to a pschiatric evaluation. Not only was he nuts, but just plain rude. The poor Tea Party Man was never allowed to speak without this creep screaming over him, and then HE (tea party man) was attacked, accused of not being willing to answer the questions. Is this guy still on the air? if so, WHY?
Never heard of this guy either until I saw him on Red Eye. It is hilarious. I actually thought he was going to have a stroke. Angry people like that amuse me, but they also get boring fast.
Now this is the fifth video with a completely crazy MSNBC host. They must be imploding over there.
never heard of this guy before, but man he needs some chillin, whoa dude what you takin?????????????????????????
It wasn't the pull of the Right; rather, it is EXACTLY this kind of off-the-chart crap which pushed me away from the Left. If I got stranded on a desert island with a guy like Ratigan, I would surely gain weight. I don't want reconciliation; and I don't mean of the legislative kind. For the very first time, as of right now, I no longer want to mend the fences and sing KUM-BY-YAH with these people. They are the enemy within and the first to fall when the pendulum swings back.
And the lame stream media wonders why
Fox is dominating the cable news networks?
That Ratigan idiot is a flaming a$$hole. I refuse to watch fake news networks like MSNBC so this is what they are spouting???? Please ignore Ratigan for Gawd has struck him stupid. This guy is brain dead. Where is Kevorkian when you need him?
Dylan, I know your ratings are spiraling downward at an ever-increasing rate but what happened to you? When you where on CNBS, your comments and insights were usually on the mark. You had discernible, provable information for people watching your show. But since you have moved to MSNBC, I am afraid you have picked up a contagious virus called the
"Olbermann Syndrome." Where before your commentary followed a
"Socratic method" of thinking, you now sound like a cross between Mel Gibson and Lawrence O'Donnell. Has anyone asked you to take a drug test? As you know, the syndrome will continue to degrade your behavior. I hope for your fellow employee’s sake that you do not have a "Conceal carry" permit. Also, as you know, when the syndrome progresses it will cause you to fall into the "O’Donnell phase" which will cause you to decline to publicly criticize Islamic fundamentalism because you are afraid for your life. How else would a "European socialist" (as Mr. O’Donnell calls himself) act, except act as a coward when pushed into a corner? Since the syndrome has caused you to not understand the simple truth about some of the basis for the whole "Tea Party" movement, I will make it simple for you. The Constitution wasn’t written to protect you, it was written to PROTECT US FROM YOU. The government has gone way out of line by using agencies to impose mandates by getting the Census Bureau to collect private information on citizens. The government has created these huge agencies to manage the healthcare and health insurance for every resident using the power of the IRS for enforcement. The government is too big and we need to stop printing money that we don't have. What part of this, do you not understand? Sure there are allot of fringe people in this movement, it is exactly like the Democrats and Republicans. There are pudknockers everywhere. Now I know you may be in the last stages of the syndrome "the Bill Maher phase" but remember, if you start spending time in Hef's grotto and you believe the women when they tell you "You were great" and you actually start believing most of the info coming out of MSNBC, please go get some help.
Very well said. I support the Tea Party movement because the Constitutional Laws have been terribly violated by both parties over the years. What served our nation well for over 200 years should not be destroyed by these idiots from.... Well, I don't know where they come from.
