Dylan "Lithium" Ratigan strikes again.  I don't know that even a mood stabilizer like carbamazepine or an atypical antipsychotic like risperidone would help him.

.. events? The Moveon.org pro ObamaCare event out here in CA ring a bell to you, Dylan? Where the 65 year old man's finger was bitten off - by a leftie - an Obama supporter?

Look, I live in the West Side of LA. Even worse know several leftie biggies from the Boston area. Calling for conservatives to be killed, murdered, executed, hanged or otherwise mistreated comes easily and naturally to the leftie wing nuts out there - in person, and on-line; even when it's the president of the United States that is on the receiving end of the signs, slogans, etc.

Now. Did not the Supreme Court rule some years back that states could not refuse the KKK from participating in the Adopt a Highway program?

Isn't there 9 (recently admitted by Holder) attorney's at the USDOJ, who have served as legal counsel for terrorists that have called for the killing of all Jews (and I suppose any blacks who were not Muslim)?

While I've seen a few shots of some rather tasteless signs at some of the events (the MSM was front and center in making sure of that) I don't recall any that just came out and said what Ratigan is saying: "kill blacks and Jews."

An apology from Ratigan should not be requested, nor should it be accepted; rather he simply needs to be fired - on the spot.

Time for a 10 million person march on NBC.

The comments on YouTube are so downright depressing taking Ritalin's... I mean Ratigan's side.  Calling them racist as well, and claiming, "Well, Williams didn't answer the question!"

Sheesh, it must be a headache for some of these tea partiers day after day after day.

with the dialogue in this country..."

Duuuuude, have you ever replayed one of your so-called interviews?

That isn't even civil conversation much less dialogue. Fifty bucks says he practiced the whole embarassing act. Complete with a follow-up critique by his weenie comrades. 

Remember MSNBC unofficial motto: "Don't let facts get in the way of good leftist attack propoganda."

I have a feeling that it is only a matter of time before MSNBC/NBC is sold to a more responsible entity who will clean house of all of MSNBC's low-rated hosts.

he diminished himself and made Olbermann look less crazy by comparison (which is no small feat).

The internal polls must be worse than imagined. 

I'm confused. Where are the racists that he is talking about? Where are the kill blacks and Jews signs? I've been to tea parties and I never saw anything remotely close to this. Why even accept the premise? I loved the guest's response about the racist reporter for NBC. Ratigan states he doesn't own NBC. Does the guest own the tea parties? Shouldn't Ratigan resign working for a company that promotes racism? Seems Ratigan didn't like the guilty by analogy game played back at him.

Ratboy is at it again, trying to crack PMSNBC's prime time lineup of looneys. 

Keep it up Ratboy! You might break 200,000 viewers. 

I thought Mr. Williams did a great job of turning things back on Ratigan with the analogy to the local NBC anchor. He answered Ratigan, and then Ratigan went unhinged. Nice job to Mr. Williams.

There's a certain point where shows in the MSM need to be starved of conservative commentators to the point of absurdity (and the Rachel Maddow and Olbermann show are great examples). 

OR...conservatives/independents/Tea Party folks will have to fight back. Because recklessly throwing around the racism charges as if it's established fact is starting to get a pinch annoying. I defy Ratigan or anyone else to show the offensive signs (in the context of thousands of signs) and show the instances where fringe types and racists have been thrown out. 

Again, if there are 5 bad signs out of 100,000, then be honest enough to say that 0.005% of the signs at the big Tea Party march in DC were offensive. Or if it's 10 or 20 or however many. Put it in some kind of context. And stop this illegitimate argument of reading racism in people's soul through some ouiji board insight. 

As my geometry teacher would say: Show your proof (work) or go home.

We need to have some fun with this weirdo.  I wonder if a true Conservative could get on his show and really jab the hell out of him, all the while acting like they are actually concerned about what he is saying.  We need someone that could make his head explode on air.  And then sit there and laugh their ass off.  There's someone out there that could do it I am sure.  I wish I had the chance.  This cat is too easy of a target.

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

There should be no doubt now what the left is.

this idiot Ratigan actually is on the payroll of msnbc?  OMG!!!  I've picked the wrong career, you know, one that actually produces something.  Can I just scream stupid stuff and get a job on TV???

"unlike the Democrats or the Republicans or any other political group - so you're saying you accept racists and Nazis"

Not only is Ratigan totally full of crap, he's extremely forgetful, too.

Case in point, one-time KKK recruiter and leader ('Exalted Cyclops') and Democratic House Majority Leader, Robert "Old Sheets" Byrd.  How about the Democrat
Governor who blocked blacks from attending white schools even after the Supreme Court ordered it (George Wallace)?

Naaaah, the Democrats have nothing to do with people who have it in for blacks and Jews...  What a lying little shithead Ratigan is.

Ratigan is a Moron --math by Joe Biden.

"I'm madder than a midget with a yo-yo" -- Larry the cable guy.

Never heard of him. Hope to never hear again.

He is the "indication of what is wrong with the dialogue in this country."

"Mark, have you stopped molesting little boys yet?"

"Wasting oxygen?" This is the pot calling the snowball black! 

I'd have clocked the idiot.

Out-source Congress... back to the People!

Is this really a surprise. 

Right now we are in pep ralley mode for the big game.  The big game is the Nov elections.  The media are cheerleaders.  They are merely gettting the fans hyped up.  They are doing their best to get out the minority vote.  You see it with Ratigan who says the tea party is racist.  You see it from Sawyer who says poor Bunning, who just wanted to make a deficit point, is an insensitive racist.

Just think of the cheerleaders out their on the field or court getting the fans to hate.

obviously not with the level of histrionics you demanded, but he answered. If your outrage is not "faux" you should seek counseling as you are in need of some.

Maybe you can get a discount if MSNBC goes for group counseling.

Really??? Reaaaaaalllllyyyy? First, Ok, the guest was a piece of crap...JUST CONDEMN supposed racists in the Tea Party, not b/c DR asked you to, but just effing DO IT! Now....

What is the one inherent, over-arching theme with almost every act of genocide in the 20th-century (Armenia, Nazi Germany, Ukraine, Cambodia, Guatemala, Yugoslavia, Rwanda)? IDENTITY politics—or in America, better known as black/chicano/asian/urban/feminist studies, sociology, etc.

Bravo Ratigan you brave and courageous soul. Your work and noble endeavor to further arouse fear and hatred, and further perpetuate the incredibly tragic and misguided culture of us-vs-them identity politics, victim-hood, paranoia, anger, and insidious resentment is duly noted and appreciated. You and like-minded colleagues such as Matthews, Maureen Dowd, Sharpton, Maddows, La Raza leaders, Michelle Obama, and KO remain an exemplary inspiration to us all, and a good for all mankind. 

Who cares about msnbc?

When we get a republican president back in office

he shold have the entire msnbc staff put on that watch list.

He can use clips  from Ratagain, Ger-awful-fellow and "Countdown to my demise with Keef Ubermoron" as examples.

Thomas Sowell, one of America's most eminent economists, scholars and philosophers calls it "verbal virtuosity" and "arguments without arguments" as the left does what we see this madman Ratigan doing. They take the "high road" without supporting anything they say. Then they go berserk when anyone dares to disagree with their ignorance and stupidity. I, personally, have had this happen to me in my professional life. Look closely at the video. Ratigan walks away from the camera and works himself into a frenzy, then returns with invectives, not reasoned arguments. How immature. How ignorant. But that's the modern "liberal" for you. Sad.

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

I find it fascinating that progressives who actually claim activist dissent in the past as 'positive' and 'vital' now claim 'conservative' activism as 'potentially harmful'.

Makes me consider that progressive activism isn't really based in the principles that Americans would call 'fundamental' after all. But more based in the agenda of progressive political advancement. A goal of quasi socialiasm to say the least. But also one of non Constitutional government as primary to it's platform. In other words, a government subversive of our founding. In times past this would have been called what it was, before PC ruled the day, socialism pure and simple. Today Americans are afraid of their own shadows for fear of being called some name of socialist segregationist propaganda instead of being considered for the value of the content in a comment. 

The man is so ignorant as to not be aware of the fact that Nazis were and are left wingers right along with communists and MSNBC employees. Keep it up, Ratigan, we can use all the help you care to give us.

I was on this guy's show at 9 AM when Obama was in Portsmouth. He was a lot tamer then, but since the tea party has gathered so much steam, they are very desperate to crush us.

I clearly heard Williams state he of course does not tolerate racists and it was Ratigan who did not answer the question!!!

They do nothing about the racism on their side, Wright, Farrakhan, Fleger et al, tons of offensive people on the left.

 And in my small state, the only time the media wants to talk to our tea party group is when there is some controversy with these 'national' groups and they seek us out to try to connect us to them.

Frankly  I have never seen any racist groups at tea parties and this is all media hype because they have NOTHING ELSE to attack us with.

Most people don't know who Ellen Ratner is, but for those that do, I'm sorry for scaring the bejabbers out of you.  Jim Webster

This makes me wonder... does Ratigan sleep with Cesca?

No great harm would be done if a small business owner was allowed to put
a sign on the front door saying: UNDER RACIST OWNERSHIP. If
authorities forced the owner to take down the sign there would be left
only an angry racist doing business with everybody. As a member of a
minority I feel that my dollar should go only to those that have
overcome the narrowness of racism. It would be a blessing to have
racists identify themselves so I can take my business elsewhere.”
