I’m not really sure who this Dylan Ratigan is and I suspect that maybe 3 people — tops — watch his show. However, his behavior, whilst interviewing Mark Williams about Tea Parties, is indicative of how desperate MSNBC and many on the far left have become.
Just keep screeching “you want to kill black people. Racists! Nazis!” That’s working out really well for you so far, lefties!
Sigh. While I, at times, point and snicker at their foolishness and buffoonery, it also infuriates me. Not only because they are obviously using their typical tired and old, yet still cruel, Alinksy tactics, but also because they are sickeningly diminishing real acts of racism by their constant and vile claims of faux racism. If everything is racist, idiots, then nothing is.

the short answer is Ratigan is a nut
Doc Holliday (Diary) Tuesday, March 2nd at 10:22PM EST (link)the longer answer is he was a successful anchor at CNBC but decided he needed another (less conservative) venue to spew his true lefty beliefs. I guess it is kind of the Olbermann thing redux.

Matches Dylan Ratigan’s standards, at any rate. Whatever the case, I have to praise the CGI present in this shot; you can barely see the hard-on that Dylan clearly had at imagining that his performance nearly matched Olbermann’s best moments.
He’s right about one thing, though: this showing is exactly what’s wrong with America.

btw, Ratigan said the Tea partiers want to “kill blacks, Jews, and WOMEN”! wow, even Hitler did not go that far.

It’s interesting though how the Olbermann-types like to yell and shout down people within the cozy confines of a TV studio behind the camera…I wonder what would happen if they ever had the guts to go up to real people and scream accusations of “NAZI! RACIST! NAZI! right in their face like they do so boldly behind a camera.l

Please never attempt to try and engage this tree stump in intellectual discourse again. He’s a stump. That’s all he knows. While your tag indicates you “respond to extremism report” you are never going to be given a chance to respond. You will only be shouted over.
He’s barely a stump worthy of the lichen that will soon envelop him. Ah, would’st that there were actual meat to his argument! Then we would have the maggots feasting on (b)ratigan.
Hey, he’s just looking to up ratings. Talking over his “guest” is one way he thinks that’ll happen.
wow - 2-1/2 minutes and the guy spoke for a total of no more than 18 seconds

Here's the heirarchy for ya...
houstoneagle (Diary) Tuesday, March 2nd at 11:32PM EST (link)Chuck Todd > Savannah Guthrie > Morning Joe > Chrissy Matthews > Rachel Maddow > Ratigan > Olbermann
Love Chucky T. Savannah’s obviously liberal but fair (and sweet). Just when I start to really really like Joe S., he says something wacky and then I dont like him so much, but he’s usually pretty solid. Chris Matthews is a wingnut, but he’s a traditionalist, fair-minded wingnut, and that’s worth something. Rachel Maddow is hyper lib, and she has a very appealing demeanor that makes me really really like her–she’s actually the dangerous one of the bunch. I’d rank her higher but I give it to Chrissy on experience. And then there is a long, long, long distance over to the true lala land, where Ratigan and Olbermann reign supreme.
Note that there’s non-lala liberal land, and then there’s lala liberal land, in case you’re itching to disagree with me and lump them all in lala land.
That is all.

In all seriousness, I would swap Chris and Maddow, but the rest is spot on, nice job.

Back to Mark though – when has any Tea Party member been treated fairly when going on the far left shows? We’re not gonna turn one of them with common sense!
Hypocrite

What about the bloggers gleeful at the deteriorating condition of Tony Snow when he was dying of cancer; what about the treatment of Sarah Palin’s daughter and son with Down’s sydrome; what about the eco-terrorists on the left; what about the people who demonize Christians; those who accuse whites of intentionally polluting neighborhoods of color? These people are actually not “liberal” at all–unless you think as they do and believe as they do, they will attack and destroy you. They are truly the most ill-mannered and intolerant segment of society. They masquerade as well-spoken, well-educated people who just “know better” than the common peasants who think differently than they do. This host looked like the girl in the Exorcist before the green crap started shooting of her mouth. Why does this guy even have a show as a platform to spew his venom?

That said, that host is still a jerk.
Listen Again
edintexas Wednesday, March 3rd at 10:08AM EST (link)I know it is really difficult to listen to the rant, and then try to understand what the guest is trying to say, but if you listen real close starting at about 2:05, you will hear him say “The Answer is: No, we don’t embrace racism,” A little shorter version of what you wished him to say, but given the circumstances, a short statement is about all that could have been heard at that point.
The guest couldn't get a word in edgewise. nt

BA Cyclone (Diary) Wednesday, March 3rd at 2:21PM EST (link)It is unhinged projection of racism.
I recently got pointed to an article in American Spectator by Robert Stacy McCain on this topic. It’s about the nutty comments made Rhode Island Sen. Whitehouse on 12/19/09, but the underlying analysis was intriguing, and I think very appropriate to the topic at hand.
