Ratigan Goes Nuts: Accuses Tea Party People who Want to 'Kill Blacks and Jews'

[RyderSpearmann]

Ratigan is simply showing his ignorance. Use google images... search "Tea Party infiltrator".

You will see a massive stream of images where the Tea Party does two amazing things:

1 - They NON VIOLENTLY separate the people Ratigan speaks of while...

2 - They don't violate anyone's right to free speech... in other words, they protect and support the 1st amendment, and address Ratigan's concerns.

This means: Ratigan is an idiot.

[DerekScottBland]

@RyderSpearmann No, Ratigan is not the idiot in this scenario. 1. Separate isn't enough. They need to flat-out say "you are not welcome here, leave." 2. There is no first amendment in this situation. You, like so many others, should be thankful you don't have to understand how your rights work in order to benefit from them. The first amendment simply means the government will not punish you for unpopular speech.

[RyderSpearmann]

@DerekScottBland You don't understand, do you? They *have* said "you're not welcome here, leave." Problem is, they don't always leave. So now what? Get the police to remove them? Yes, that can sometimes be done, but then the TP is getting "big government" involved.

You don't understand. The right to free speech doesn't come from the Constitution, it merely protects the pre-existing right to speech. I refer to the right explicitly, AS WELL AS the desire to support the Constitution. Nice try.

[DerekScottBland]

@RyderSpearmann You really don't know anything, do you? Go back to school and take a history class, I'm sure your instructor would find your definition of the right to free speech amusing. If all you're going to do is backpedal and obfuscate the issue when you're called on your ignorance, I have no more time for you.

[RyderSpearmann]

@DerekScottBland Hahaaa!!! Nice one :) Dogging my definition of the right to free speech... when I never gave one! You're brilliant :)

Of course, you *could* quote my definition of free speech if you wanted to prove me wrong... right?

Yeah.... thought not.

If you refer to my discussion on how that right pre-exists and is merely *protected* by the Constitution... sorry my friend, but I am 500% right. Find ONE scholar that disagrees. You have the entire "internets"! Go boy!

[MetalDetroit]

It is people on the LEFT who hate Jews. It is people on the RIGHT who support Israel...

[madams12f]

@MetalDetroit How dang stupid a comment.....obviously you have no historical understanding of lefties in this country....Metal....because the LEFT was loaded with Jews....still has large numbers of Jews on the left....and within the Democratic party, still. The RIGHT only "supports" certain jews like the 500,000 racist settlers in West Bank Palestine who they believe will hasten the rapture, then see'em all fry. That is not 'support' it is theocratic manipulation. Killing is UNChristian.

[DanMonDab]

Ratigan is an idiot. Everytime they ask a tea party member to come on there show thats the only question they ask. Notice how pissed he got when the guy answered no? Thats because they have no proof of any kind for what Ratigan is spewing and if your not a liberal you must be a racist.

[jcpbrighteyes]

I don't see the democrats throwing out the Black Panthers at their events or condemning them for showing up at the polls armed to intimidate voters. I think Ratigan was being very selective. I also don't see democrats turning away former members of the Weather Underground who actually committed terrorist acts against this country.

[madams12f]

@jcpbrighteyes BRIGHT?eyes....what century are u living in ?? Black Panthers?? many have either been killed or died off of old age. Weather Underground??? again wrong century....and those still alive are retired grandparents. Only 1 'party' that demands obedience to the daily talking points...the GOP/teaholes. funded by the filthy rich KOCH brothers et al. Democrats have always been considered a big tent party which was the popular majority when we had statesmen for politicians long ago.

[jcpbrighteyes]

@madams12f Does this video look like a different century to you?

youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuH­U

How about this one?

youtube.com/watch?v=0xBlTdsnOh­8&feature=related

Talking points? You are certainly familiar with those, but you may be surprised to hear that they are wrong.

Republican campaigns actually depend more on individual donations, than on corporations.

As for the attacks on my screen name, it's just my favorite song.

[SeanScythe]

Man this guy is a dick, he wouldn't let the guy answer. Even if he said no he would have kept ranting saying that, "Well you say no but from I've seen that's not true."

[RobHimselff]

Dylan has made no point and has insulted everyones intelligence

[planetcave]

There goes the "Rat Again", everybody and everybody's groups are racist except Dylan and his followers. "Using your show" is that what you call it, I call it a waste of time and airspace. Go back to your Wall Street shows that lured hard-working productive people into the jaws of deceit. Hey MSNBC, how about some content for a change instead of promoting left-wing oligarchs.

[DANJULLMANN44]

@mwhaleK when and how did he try to SMEAR the person he was talking to ?? The smear is so very obviously from Ratigan that makes the claim that the tea party is racist.

[canijon888]

Ratigan should have been smarter, he lost it,became loud and couldn't make his point which is to show the viewers how ridiculous and unamerican these factions really are, which in all fairness it shouldn't be that hard.

[MWhaleK]

When the NAACP asked the Tea Party to repudiate the nuts carrying bigoted raceist signs the NAACP was attacked and called racists. Willaims like so many Right Wing types wanted to spew talking points and smear the person he was talking to rather than answer a question

[hydroplanerdude]

This is called news? Ratigan is such a loser. Grow up and become a real journalist, and not a constipated spin doctor. "Do I run NBC?" Rattigan asks, but the cam keeps rolling. Obviously he doesn't have as much authority as he'd like to think. Why censor news? Let the guy answer the question please. Informed citizens don't need your screaming bias. We can make informed decisions on our own. Whatever happened to real journalism (i.e. Larry King/Anderson Cooper)?

[FuckYouLetMeLogIn]

Ratigan doesn't put up with crap, and the Tea Party is full of crap.

So, when this "Mark Williams" guy tried to dodge the questions, Ratigan called him on it.

If you don't like it, nobody's forcing you to watch Rataigan's show.

I, for one, applaud Ratigan.

[sidguill]

This idiot makes it sound like the tea party is full of racists. You all are right, he should have said no. This guy was out to get him no matter what. He would have found something else. I think it is hipicriaical for this guy to expect a direct answer. I have yet to see a liberal give one. I did go to a tea party in march, there was one trouble maker. t was a liberal plant.

[TheUnitedStatists]

i watched his live dylan RATigan is such douchebag

[Brewhaman]

@TheUnitedStatists your opinion is worthless you piece of shit.

[piertroll15]

I accept racists because they are survivalists and protect their people from assaults by jews and the third world mayhem they have unleashed upon the whites.

[73849309378]

Why don't the teabaggers just come out and be honest about it like their brothers in the KKK.

[EricIndiana]

The fact that someone like Dylan Ratigan even has a show is what I find amazing.

[TOTCD]

Ratigan won

[chaseef]

If I wanted to see two retards do battle I would watch the special olympics.

[pmaestro]

Ratigan had a good point and a good question, but his tact makes him look like a fool.  is he the liberal version of Bill O'Reilly? give me a break. ridiculous. you ask the dude a question and you let him answer. when his response doesn't answer the question, you simply ask the same question again. TRUST that your audience can see who's evasive. don't shove your opinion down everyone's throats. Ratigan's like a sloppy child (like O'Reilly)

[xxFortunadoxx]

This video is priceless. Dylan Ratigan is excellent. He effectively exposes the problem that is enigmatic of moderate political groups. They enable extremists. He didn't actually answer the question that was originally posed. All he did was answer the follow-up question that Ratigan asked which was whether or not they inherently supported racists and the like. The original question was: Why aren' you shaming them?

I'm happy to see this kind of holding people's feet to the fire.

[publicatdamagnificen]

The problem with Mark is that when asked "DO YOU ACCEPT RACISTS AND NAZI'S"? If he would have immediately replied "no", then Dylan wouldn't have gone on his rant.

Mark hemmed and hawed and did not immediately answer the question....THAT'S WHY DYLAN WENT OFF!!

[soonerdave01]

What a flaming douche-bag this host is! WTF?!?!?

[M1ndz]

hahahaha

[AxelLaw]

Wow, Dylan got fired up on this one...and while I wished that he didn't talk over the guy, I intensely disliked how he rerouted the question from the tea party to MSNBC, rather than just saying "Hey, I don't approve of racism." Harp on Dylan all you want (to some degree, I see why), but I'd be pretty pissed, too, if I had a guy try to do a talking point on me instead of answering the fucking question.

[Maziyar]

a pleasure. actually not really a pleasure, it was offensive. uhh your offensive.

too funny.

[DallasCowboyBrothers]

fuck all haters :D love a JEW!!!!!!

[dpo5000]

get  'im dylan!

[TrustKovacss]

[saper321]

MSNBC is full of racists and Nazis. This guy is just a self-hater.

[conservativeco]

Villain Ratigan...oh Silly Dilly.

[NMghost223]

fox news was the whitehouse platform under bush, msnbc is the whitehouse platform under obama.. sure is a funny paradigm

[NMghost223]

the last ten seconds is the single biggest ironic statement ive ever heard on the news.. I HAVE A QUESTION!!! ANSWER MY QUESTION!! YOURE AN ASSHOLE!! FUCK YOU!!! CUT HIS MIC!!! you see folks this is whats wrong with intelligent discourse in this country LMAO!!

[sillycandie007]

Dylan Ratigan why not get to the point, its not the few racists that come to the teapartys,,, its the whole fucken teaparty thats racist are they wouldn't stand next to them

with pride holding the signs

[NMghost223]

@sillycandie007 idiot

[hiten369]

Tea Baggers are morons anyway why even have them on the show.

[NMghost223]

@hiten369 idiot

[buyred]

Anybody still think Dylan Ratigan is a patriot? yet another NWO shill exposed.

[RealRepublican1]

It's true Williams didn't answer the question Ratigan was asking.

[freedrum]

Um. I dont think he had a chance. msnbc= obamabots. do as we do or your a racist, faschist, etc. goodby msnbc your ratings tell the real story

[Jeffb212]

oh my are you mentally challenged. He did answer the question. Maybe if you listen over his hateful rant you agree with. You could have heard, but alass your a cool aid drinker.

[NMghost223]

@RealRepublican1 honestly all i heard was that asshole yell for 3 minutes, i barely heard anything by the other guy.. maybe that was the point

[DronetekPolitics]

Another funny fact is that the Hitler Obama posters are from a left wing group called the La'rouches. MSNBC and the rest of the MSM have consistently misrepresented that poster.

[leebee303]

The attitude displayed by Ratigan clearly shows that he is unprofessional and simply frightened by the tea party movement. I do not believe that he had any intention of having a fair and open debate with Williams. This was a smear tactic by NBC. I'd be frightened if I was them. We are growing in numbers and NBC is in a state of panic.

[MrFreedomworks]

I am joining the tea party movement NOW!!!!!!

[MrFreedomworks]

MSNBC, just watch this video only proves that network of NBC must be the worst in tv land. This guy can't be that dumb. Just a hater Obama supporter, par for the course.

[sogairborne]

No wonder msnbc gets more viewers on YouTube, this way you only have to watch 2:30 minutes to get part of the crazy stuff. Why ask a question if tou keep talking over the person trying to answer?

[Zeldarulah]

@sogairborne Because his answer is irrelevant to the question being asked...?

[zl1vette427]

The only racism and anti-Semitism is in the Democratic Party and the Left. If Ratigan wants to expunge racism, let him start looking over the racist rantings of the Detroit City Council, the Congressional Black Caucus, and Al Sharpton. Ratigan was lot better at CNBC when his paycheck wasn't coming from the loons at MSNBC.

[dmack360]

He said several times he does not support racism. Dylan had it in his mind that he was going to demonize Williams even if he did answer his questions, he did answer them but was continued to be talked over. Good Job Ratigan, im impressed with your Saul Alinsky/Machiavellian attitude.

[CognosSquare]

@dmack360 the question was regarding self sanitation within the tea party movement. No he did not answer that question.

Which is in itself an answer. The tea party would desintegrate if such measures would be taken.

[publicatdamagnificen]

@dmack360 You're absolutely right. He did say he doesn't support racism....After it took him nearly 20 years to answer the question.... Roflmao.

[LadyeCatte]

@dmack360 Funny. This question has been asked of "ea party leaders multiple times and always the answer is a bunch of redirecting and general hemming and hawing. NOT ONE has come out and condemned white supremacists' presence at the rallies. NOT ONE public statement of "We don't want you. Stay out of our rallies."

Ratigan is great to point this out. Teabaggers will continue to insist they are not a racist organization while still being the darling of white supremacist groups in America.

[joesphx19]

@LadyeCatte

This is not true and you know it. Just because conservatives have awakened and are helping others realize their God given rights is no reason to play dirty. Liberals, progressives, communists just can't stand to lose, so it's a war game to you while the rest of us are just trying to live a decent life and play by the rules.

[dmack360]

That is true what Williams said, you have Wingnuts and Normal People. What about the Obama event where a republican had his finger bitten off by an opposing democrat at the event in CA. Why does he not interview Obama and ask if he condones fingers being bitten off? Also Williams has a legit point he is not the soul leader of tea party movement like Ratigan is not the head of MSNBC, Using Ratigans logic he is responsible for the anti Semite being promoted MSNBC. Williams had a legit argument.

[ndpuckhead]

Two words: Douche Bag

[deathduck2]

jeez that is hard 2 watch, 2 much coffee for the guy on the left

[Wardog687]

MSNBC= The Heil Obama Network

[matador5135]

This proves beyond any doubt, that MSNBC is completely out of touch with reality and is nothing else than the propaganda machine for the crazy left. Ratigan got completly owned, and then he goes to say "Please cut his microphone of". I'm fed up of these NBC tools, they think they got the moral high ground.

[mmadden55]

Rattigan should shut up for a second if he really wants an answer. Put up job, now the teaparties are all Nazis. What a blowhard fool.
