Ratigan Loses It on Party of No Health Care, Sept 18, 2009

[JoeMattes9]

Obama isn't left - he's center... Lets get that straight buddy. Kucinich is the only true liberal

[235RB]

@JoeMattes9 or Bernie sanders. 

[Pighood]

Wow...with ALL THAT TALENT, why aren't MSNBC's ratings through the roof? I'm guessing it's neocon nazi tactics and treachery that Bush aimed.

[Thaelyssa]

@Pighood Treachery that Bush aimed? You're stupid.

[scbluesman13]

EchelonMonitor: You need to get your facts straight. Elmendorf is not a health insurance lobbyist. He's part of the lobbying firm that helps groups design and craft strategies on a variety of different things. He does not work for the Health Insurance Industry. The DNC is probably retaining Elmendorf services to try and craft a strategy to sell the public option (which, by the way, all of the health insurance companies HATE).

[EchelonMonitor]

We can't move forward as long as our political system is powered by bribery. Obama and Pelosi have already sold out to the health care industry. There's a big bribe-Pelosi event by Health industry lobbyist (bribery specialist) Steve Elmendorf this Thursday. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi Thursday, September 24, 2009 6:30pm ~ 8:00pm At the home of Steve Elmendorf 2301 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Apt. 7B Washington, D.C. $5,000 PAC $2,400? Individual

[CommonSenseJoe]

The bias of the journalist is quite obvious. Everything is broken and nothing works and only the President can fix it.

[kilowat46]

so who does the right have for a leader !! the right just about to reach bottom we have seen all the screamers at the town hall meeting but their numbers keep falling. even my republican friends are shaking their heads.. nice try lol

[chris13579]

We better stop electing stupid pple to be gov, or to congress or anyhting political because most of them just want to be elect just to have some power and not to help us come on guys open ur eyes

[theunbubba]

Idiot socialists claim "it's never really been tried before." Um What? It's been tried in at least 68 different countries and it's failed. It creates universal poverty. When nobody is rich, then everybody is poor. You peopl...e remind me of some of the rednecks I grew up with. "Hell I can do it better because I'm BY GOD ME!" That look just before the he says "hey watch this". That's what you idiots sound like to me.Read More

[henleythecat]

theunbubba ... "Idiot socialists claim "it's never really been tried before."

What the hell are you talking about? The GOP is the only ones talking abut socialism while the Dem's are talking about socialized health care financing, which has been proven in dozens of countries to be more cost effective.

You are falling victim tor the fear machine on the far right and Fox News.

[theunbubba]

You are falling for the brainwashing you had from the laft wing dinosaur media.

You are running scared and trying to attribute fear to us. What a spinner.

[theunbubba]

Ratigan is a liar propagandist. It's obvious as hell. He filibusters every time somebody calls him on it.

[BMayhew60]

I have to agree, but Obama seems to be trying to be more non-partison which I think is good and promotes healthy debate and still we need solutions. But he's not getting any respect for it from the right and his friends on the left are mad at him for not being more extreme on their side. Stupidity. We need another party or two or three.

[henleythecat]

Ratigan has always been in favor of free markets, and gives this guy a opening to discuss how the GOP can "come out in favor of free and fair market systems..."

This GOP fool starts talking about left vs. right and waiting for the next election.

Ratigan looses it. He wants to discuss solutions, not politics. Ratigan is voicing the frustration many have with the GOP who cares more about regaining power then solving any of the problem this country is facing.

Thank you Mr. Ratigan.

[mylifeintheaquarium]

i hate the government period. everyone is full of crap. no one is better than anyone else.

[jsh78mang]

I wish I were on that program because I would answer back were the fuck were you and your caring when Bush was fucking up . Yeah that's right only when it supports YOUR cause. People like this should not be in the news. Hate mongering jackass.

[jlsouka]

This is why I cant watch MSNBC anymore. There hate of anything conservative has gotten in the way of a balanced debate. CNN is as close to the middle as your going to find these days I think

[jsh78mang]

This is the far left(progressive) ideology that makes me not watch this stupid fuckin news channel. Same with Fox and its far right (Neocon) B.S.

[mellowspasm]

I stopped watching at 2:56. That's 2:56 of my life lost. If this is TV, I'm not missing much.

[GoogleVideoAlexJones]

the left and right are both for the New World Order agena. do not be fooled by the divide and conquer deception. bush, obama is doesnt matter they are both New World Order. dont be fools!

watch "Obama Deception"

[NotMLG]

alex jones is a lunatic, hes retarded and so is anyone who listens to his bullshit.

[gallomex13]

New World Order wont come from the USA since the rest of the world hate the USA dumb fuck.

[ZachIsUnknown]

i fucking hate ratigan, he does this to everyone who disagrees with him.. hes such a pussy bitch

[69199]

This Ratigan guy is a loser. You should allow the guy to speak, not berate him for disagreeing with him.

[TeslaDRay]

Repubs in congress working with bill clinton in the 90's froze the foreign debt and gave us a surplus and now what? Bush and Pelosi, that's what. Both spent out of control. They can both go to hell and can take their parties (politicians, not the american people)with them.

[TeslaDRay]

When are you people going to realize that both parties are what ruined this country the last eight years plus. They got us 11 trill. in debt now. We (not me, I don't vote for either party) elected the spineless dems in 06' to get us out of iraq. Are we out? No, and they also increased the debt that the repubs added to.

[CrudelyAnimated]

Uh, ok...so? Dylan basically told him to shut the fuck up as he was trying to wrap up the segment. No problem here. Keep calling out the right for what they are, basically ignorant, homophobic, bigoted liars.

[AccidentalDem]

"Keep calling out the right for what they are, basically ignorant, homophobic, bigoted liars."

I am only judging my opinion on what I see.

[Takinbacon]

Closed minded fool is closed minded.

[nictse500]

i totally disagree with the gop and the things they do and say, but what ratigans doing right there is what i cant agree with. thats sth i would expect from fox news, and it scares me that we are doing more and more like the far right conservatives.

[lonewolf1234512345]

Right on. I'm sick of pansy liberals. Neo-liberals like this fellow will smack any fear-laden conservatives--and believe it, conservatives are in a nutshell wimpy fear-mongers--in the motherfucking chops, whereas they take off with their tail between their legs.

[WHYDOYOUNEEDMYNAME]

Way to Dylan! Miss you very much at FastMoney. Without you there, it is no longer fun to watch.

[jdfox1]

Nice!  :)

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

The dumbing DOWN of the modern conservative movement . . . Buckley Goldwater Nixon's Southern Strategy Reagan (TALK) Limbaugh (MORE talk) Fox News Bush/Cheney Palin And 90+% of these DIMWITS continue to ask "What would Reagan/Limbaugh do?" This is NOT the party of Lincoln, that's for sure.

[Boomer1949]

I love it. The news guy has learned the Fox method of interviewing people they don't agree with...WooHoo..finally someone who can beat down a talking head from the right!!

Yea, we're all waiting for the Repugs to come in and rescue us from the big bad gov. My ASS! Repugs were in power for 8 yrs and everything exploded or imploded in that time.

[whiskeygurl70]

Barrack Obama was born in Kenya. He is not a legal president!

[99rhetbaboons]

If there had been stuff like this on tv when I was a kid, I think my respect for grown ups would have been in the negative range. Why is our reaction to the childish and stupid population to put on tv personalities that resonate with them?

[LANshark]

What's worse?

That republican can stand up and talk nonsense and the 9/hour republican base will back them come hell or high water...but the democrats are spineless and won't make a move until the republicans give their blessings. The Democrats need to learn from their counterparts and rally behind the idea and fuck what the republicans think. America spoke during the election and that would be the end of this debate.

[FreeTheRocks]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[ebusdk]

I hope people really listen to what he had to say.

[laclark33]

Read De Tocqueville, he warned that like his native france, our democracy had to watch for profit driven big mouths and aristocracy-like we have now. Also review the definition of Fascism and it cozy relationship with industry and this southern strategy which both side pander to. Throw all the bums out.

[DoctorMontalban]

Regardless of where I come out on this debate, I am sick of the way things are talked about in this country. Fox News has their warped approach to the world, so now MSNBC has to counter with this supposedly hard-nosed approach from the left. The whole thing is crude and tiresome. Fareed Zakaria is about the only thing on the cable news channels that I look forward to these days.

[Akin42]

During early American history, newspapers were mostly OP-eds, but there were tons of them, and opinions varied widely.

During the early 2000s, we had a conservative media (fox), and a centrist corporate media (everyone else). End result: we went to war in Iraq over something that basic journalism could have debunked. I welcome seeing the left have a voice today. (not that I think this reporter is a good example of the left, go to Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow for that)

[reviewthendo]

Dylan RATBRAIN apologized later in the program because he realized what a hypocrite he is by yelling at his guest after complaining about raging out of control rightwingers. He later yells and lectures another guest. I used to like him but now I see his true colors. What a rude jerk!

[epiphany4z]

They had power for nearly 8 yrs...did we get health care? did they stop the to big to fail problem? What a joke...when we win we will have ideas and fix things...yayaya

[JOBRAIL1]

I go to a clinic or hospital or doctor any time I want. I do not have insurance and do need it. I have health care, where do you live that you do not have health care?

[spiffydigs]

Not bad, even IF the reporter has a history of selling out to both sides. At least the truth found a way to reach his mouth this time.

[KikoKat]

True colors shinning through...the GOP just can't hide their disdain for helping people. It's not just poor folks this time GOP, it's everyone!  All are one job, one sickness, one fall away from bankruptcy with our existing shitty HMO's or no insurance at all.

[HalEBurton]

5 starz

[Guitpickn]

Yippee! Ratigan is 100% right. Finally, someone in the news speaking the truth. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
