Greg Gutfeld Takes On Ratigan and Rall's Call for Violent Revolution
Greg Gutfeld on Saturday took on Dylan Ratigan and Ted Rall for advocating a violent revolution on the former's television program last Monday.
Giving the closing comment on "Fox News Watch," the "Red Eye" host also pointed out the delicious irony in a cartoonist "calling for a government overthrow with guns and violence on a network, MSNBC, that accused Tea Partiers of the same" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
JON SCOTT, HOST: As some in the media still reel from the Democrats’ midterm shellacking, MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan upped the left-wingnut rhetoric by suggesting it might be time for a revolution against the Right. His accomplice in this mission? A malcontent cartoonist. “Red Eye’s” Greg Gutfeld is ready and waiting.
GREG GUTFELD: So a while back, the Washington Post asked cartoonists what they thought of “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day,” that protest against radical Muslims who threatened to kill anyone they think mocks their prophet. One guy named Ted Rall ragged on it saying, “While most [cartoonists] vigorously support free speech, many are uncomfortable with the idea of provoking the anger of devout Muslims…”
Now I bring this up because this is the same guy who just appeared on Dylan Ratigan’s show to suggest a violent revolution in America, which Ratigan pretty much liked. Here’s what Rall wrote in his book:
A war is coming. The government, the corporations, and the extreme right are prepared to coalesce into an Axis of Evil. Are you going to fight back? Will you do whatever it takes, including taking up arms?...I want to you to see that revolt is a good idea, and that it has never been more necessary.
So get this: A bitter cartoonist is calling for a government overthrow with guns and violence on a network, MSNBC, that accused Tea Partiers of the same. Worse he won't stand up to a real threat but now urges violence against peaceful folks.
Me, I can't wait to see Ted coming at me in his tweed coat and sweatpants, swinging his NPR tote bag armed with his rolled up yoga mat. But it ain’t going to happen. Advocating phony revolution is where idiots like Ted start and end. For “Fox News Watch,” I'm Greg Gutfeld.
Amazing hypocrisy, don't you agree?

I'm still laughing at the idea that Ted Rall thinks others will follow him into revolution.
Remember Brother Bluto (John Belushi) gave that speech in Animal House? The one where he asked if it was over after the Germans attacked Pearl Harbor? At the end of the speech, he asked "Who's with me?" and ran out into the hallway.
No one followed.
Ted Rall.

He reminds me of Leftwing-gadfly and recovering-junkie Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who ended one of his "inspirational" speeches to the Proletariat with "And I'll see you at the barricades," as if he were in the Paris Commune. The only barricades the Kennedys are likely to be seen at are the police barricades they crash through in drunken rage, like his cousin Patrick did on Capitol Hill.

Ted Rall... A big believer in Government (Democrat Administrations only) but doesn't like how our Democratic Republic works. So, instead of trying to sell his ideas, he thinks it would just be better to kill the people that disagree with him. Ironically, he is able to say this on national cable television (well, MSNBC) not aknowledging that if he spoke like that in many countries in the world he would be arrested at best, and executed at worst.
I detest him, but I am glad he is able to speak so his immeasurable ignorance can be displayed and we can see who nods their head, and who among us that simply shake our heads.
As for Gutfeld, he doesn't get enough credit for his incite. Like Jon Stewart, he is brilliant but uses humor to make his points. I'm a fan.

Teddy Boy thinks "devout muslimes" are scary, but he wants a revolution against fellow Americans?
The boy has obviously never seen a bunch of good old boy red neck peckerwood Larry the cable guy types when they are pissed off! Now that is something to truly fear.
And now that Maher has trash talked their huntin' dawgs, they will really be in a surly mood.
Ted, you have a better chance taking on the shiite heads.

Do any of you think Dylan Ratigan could take Mika B. in 3 rounds? I think it'd be a draw but Mika would have fun and would use one of her many facial expressions to show it.
Nah.

Dylan might, just might, be able to take Mika in three, and if it were a "rasslin" match it would be worth taking part in even if he lost! Mika ain't half bad for a liberal woman, since most of them are really beasts.
On the other hand, I don't think any of the "fluffy boys" on the left could lay a hand on Maddow, be it boxing or rasslin! Actually I'm not sure they'd want to except their taste in "women" does tend to run a little on the, shall we say, strange side.
Dylan v Mika boxing? Mika in 1.

I love these little tough guy wannabes like Rall. Talk tough, but have all the spine of a 5 day dead jellyfish. Call me crazy, but an army of welfare paid vegans, marching across a field to whip broccoli at me is not something I find particularily threatening. Especially considering most of them would run off screaming at the sight of an orange barreled airsoft gun.
But hey, anytime good ol' Rall decides to feel froggy, all I can say is jump. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, it will NEVER happen....

Libs Threating Violence

Can you imagine the firestorm of outrage if Beck had someone on his show advocating violence?
Yet the Libs can do it and there is nary a peep.
Then again perhaps the thought of that lisping little coward, Ted Rall, posing a threat to anyone is just too amusing to take seriously.
Right on Greg!

Yo Ted, in case you haven't noticed, in the United States we use the ballot box to stage our revolutions. Unlike leftists we use peaceful protests and assembly* to vent our frustration with government. After which we clean up our mess instead of leaving our trash behind for other's to deal with. That is how us conservative's and libertarian's role.
*Check out the constitution written for and by living breathing people.

I am not in the best of health, but I have one thing to say to Ratigan, Rall, et al: bring it, p***ies! But, you'd better be able to shoot accurately at over 500 meters.
It's gonna take more than calling the Right a bunch of mean doo-doo heads to effect your revolution you limp-wrists.
