Ratigan Freak Out: Obama Needs To Tell U.S. Your Congress Is Bought!

[LibertyordeathRP]

"The united states of america is being extracted!" seems to me like they need some dream security.

[wtong89]

If someone steps up and says Congress is bought out and Lobbying must be BANNED. I will vote for you :)

[infinity2012starseed]

6:15 leader of the free world??? wtf a free world doesnt have a leader

[NOLARealEstateTalk]

Vince Vaughn, that's who he reminds me of. Vince Vaughn from the Break Up.

[djdedeo0]

This guy won't last on MSNBC too long. He's logical.

[terrorist96]

Who thinks Ratigan might lose his job soon like Cenk did?

[hereugo2007]

Good stuff, right on!

[evermore8888]

Go Dylan Ratigan go!!!!! Say it as it is!

Finally - how good to see the brunette shill so well and truly shut down from her Spin Mistress crap!!!!

Ratigan and Alex Jones together full throttle would be a hellova thing to see and hear!!!!! Go the Ratigan go the Jones!!!!

[pocelrat]

Karen need to be on the prime time more....I mean who watch daytime tv

[Kicker001911]

The sad part is people know they just have been turned into such sheep that they have no guts to do anything. They are sheepel they dont know what freedom is. they like there little cage they think is safe and they watch the wolves eat there kind and run around them howling and they don nothing. We in America are like the Jews in Germany their freedom was taken little by little piece by piece untell the stood there and removed there hat to be executed. People better get mad and stand up or die

[pianowitz]

I love how even the backround people are staring too....

[kalpazan4o81]

hahaha american idiots and jewish banksters

[DWRWC]

Love it!! Go Dylan!!

[jesushatesyoutoo]

So Ratigan is demanding nationalization of the banks? Here here!

[normalais]

@jesushatesyoutoo You honestly think USA and the western civilization will not collapse soon because of this corruption? This crises happened when Lehman Brothers failed. There are banks 20 times bigger than Lehman Brothers doing the same stuff Lehman Brothers did. It is a ticking fucking time bomb. And you are whining about nationalising banks? Your children will eat grass like people in North Korea. Are you out of your fucking mind?

[GunShowBob]

I wondered when Jimmy was going to get to speak! Great rant!

[SwobyJ]

I think he's pissed about Cenk leaving.

[jnicolettebailey]

Ratigan for President !!

[dakutiusmaximus]

I'm gonna guess that Ratigan didn't say Obama is a bought politician too because he was giving him a chance to save face so he could better step up and save the country from going down this drain.

As far as corporations being regarded as "persons" by the Supreme Court, this actually derives from a turn of the century clerical recording error that has been allowed to stand as actual precedent after those in power saw how profitably powerful this could be if it were instituted. See Thom Hartmann

[culbertson999]

Lets see - Obama was responsible for the market being down - then the market closed up but Fox doesn't chose to credit that to him. Maybe the president doesn't have any influence over the market at all except in the minds of those who want to blame him for all negative things that happen. If the sun doesn't shine tomorrow Fox will blame him for it. If a meteor hits Earth Fox will blame the president for it. Basically Fox doesn't have a rational cell in its corporate brain.

[bxbomb69]

I so agree with the term "brought Congress" ... that is exactly what I believe the issue is and especially with health care in this country.

[ekoffenb22]

Capitalism has devolved into a complex of power and greed beyond the courage level of our politicians. I fear that only a traumatic financial event large enough to bypass all political/personal financial considerations of our politicians will shock the nation back into financial consciousness. War will not bring this nation to its knees, greed will.

[ccerwin]

Give them hell, go iraqi RV , tell the truth!

[Hnelson469]

Holy Smokes Batman!! This guy is spot on with the problem today!! Dylan in 2012!!!

Americans are starting to wake up. Unfortunately, when the majority wakes up after leaving the government on auto-pilot for years; will have a cow and demand for heads.

[crazeyspivey]

Great job Dylan!!!  You managed to override those cackling hens and get your point accross, and with a touch of force. Ross Perot's "Giant sucking sound" is no longer coming from Mexico, but the sound of our entire country being sucked down the drain.......and the drain was built by the corrupt banksters and polytitchins. The stock market is going MUCH lower over then next two months.....get out now while you can and use the fiat money to buy silver. Prepare!

[VinceKona]

This guy should be THE national economic czar. Get rod of lobbyists and corporate contributions!

[joebhatlanta]

Cool!!!!! DYlan for President. finally a intelligent man who can tell the truth.

[Dalun]

If its gonna be a blame game, then everyone in the usa is to blame. Voters who only vote based on emotions and buzzwords, special interest groups, politicians who are bought and so on,

[Patriot7476]

GO Ratigan!!!!!!

[kauaihn]

You Go Ratigan!!!

[ChulaKirby]

tens of Trillions of dollars being extracted and going into who's back pockets? The ones pushing for more government borrowing. And who is that? bridges to no where? Military jets? Studies on the size of gay men penis'? bicycle trails? Green shit to prevent global warming for a planet that is actually getting cooler? health care for illegals? Acorn to help underage prostitution? Planned parenthood? Crooked politicians? Schools not being used? Should I go on?

[Sordail]

AWESOME..dare we have TRUTH?

[ghifarix]

Way 2 go! Revolution Revolution Revolution! Dylan Shut up the cat fight and remonstrated what Obama failed to do then and fails to do now. That was Great Dylan

[anthonyrivera87]

that guy is my new hero

[cloudranch]

YEA! Finally. The only problem is he should have went all the way and say to END THE FED!

O% Lending for Infrastructure and Small Business,

TAX ALL Derivatives Transactions 1% that goes to pay off National debt, and to bail out states...

( 1% on 1,000 Trillion $ of Derivatives traded per year is a shit load of capital)

Re-instate Glass Steagall Act, Ban CDS', seize the big 6 zombie banks and break them apart- throw the 8 Families out of the US!

No More Rothschild Bankers, or their agents!

[AirborneSapper7]

it's time for the Treason Trials to begin

[Beepoe111]

Ratigan In 2012

Ratigan!........Ratigan!

[ProzacMan]

I was watching this go down live and LMAO!!! The pundants didn't know what to do when Dylan start flipping out. Loved it!

[codematrix]

The problem is Obama is bought himself.

[Sykotix1]

I really hope Obama sees this. Not that he'll listen anyway.

[mattmx98]

cut,cap&balance was the closest anything/anyone/any party has come to successfully stopping this trend. imho, congress did it's job with that plan,and like everything else it got hung up in the senate, the same way the budgets have failed to get through, reid and the lib/prog/dems are the true hostage takers here and the markets and the world are sick of it.

[CoreOfTheSpiral]

Why is Obama going to tell the U.S- "your congress is bought" when he also is a bought and paid for puppet of wall street? It's not going to happen. Only the people can change the system, but first they need to wake up and take responsibility for the mess they allowed to happen and then stop complying en masse with a system that is enslaving their children and grandchildren. Only then can they take their country back.

[WeAreSlaves]

WOW, just wow! Truth on MSM....This guy gets it and says it like it is.....BRAVO!

[blake2112]

Obama. Fucking listen.

[rg0057]

The parties are NOT the problem. The public who elect them ARE the problem.

That's democracy.

The root cause of "extraction" I've seen is that two decades ago, the US made a decision that its people were inherently superior to the rest of the world, and opened up free trade with foreigners. When it realized foreigners weren't that stupid, and worked for cheap, the mass migration of jobs and cash out of the US began.

[TheKatoom]

@rg0057 Care to elaborate on your first point? How are the people to make any sort of change in a system that so heavily favours two parties. Note, I am not American, and am truly curious.

[BadLuck765]

@TheKatoom As Noam Chomsky once brilliantly put it, and I'm not quoting him exactly right... "There aren't two parties in America. There's one party. The Business Party."

The only way to change it is to take to the streets. And by the time people are angry enough to do it, it'll be too late.

[synthdood]

WHO HOO, YES!

[eyesonmedia]

AWESOME!!!!! 

[GzRDamager]

OUTFUC*KINGSTANDING!

[overlogg]

3rd party + GOLD....

END THE FED....Reign back the criminal US Government...

[duanescot]

FINALLY, someone screams from the rooftops that both parties are at fault!!! thank god

[DJAbeClements]

I SAY GODDAMN!!!

[grimygrime]

Yeah and the president isn't brought? 

[chuska8383]

Ratigan did a good job here, though he forgot to mention that the President is also bought and paid for, and the people who own our government are the same people who own our media.

[chuska8383]

This is propaganda. BOTH parties are part of the problem. The mainstream media is bought and paid for and they will never let you hear a perspective outside of the two parties.

[popothebright]

Yes. Ratigan for F*CKING PRESIDENT.

[TheLydianPattern]

RATIGAN FOR PRESIDENT!!! please!

[eyeswideopennimrod]

Spot on, but every president will be reminded of JFK if they ever get the urge to put Americans first. It's going to take one brave, clever, honest and bullet proof guy to do that job. I would vote Ron Paul as he is the only light on the horizon right now.

[TheArcaneSanctum]

Brilliant logical honesty this man deserves and award for having the balls to stand up and speak the truth.

Get Ron Paul in office and he will do exactly what you are talking about.

[robertk1968]

You want to get rid of a bought congress, then get rid of 'CORPORATE PERSONHOOD' !!!! Thereby not allowing any funding of political parties by corporations, just individuals !!! Look it up folks, this is how they have been screwing you for decades !

[empirehorn]

@robertk1968

Herp derp how are you supposed to destroy such a fundamental part of what a corporation is? Separate legal entity doctrine is vital.

[robertk1968]

@empirehorn If you look into the history of the corporation then you will find out that political party funding was never a fundamental part of the corporation, indeed these corporations were orignally given a charter by the state for larger civil projects. It was a ruling at the turn of the centuary which started to give corporations the same rights as individuals. Don't know where you came up with that question ?? But like everything in life one needs to do the reasearch.

[empirehorn]

@robertk1968

Where did I come up with it? I came up with it by understanding the legal consequences of SLE, the removal of which would completely change corporations as we know them. It's one thing to try to regulate poltical donations etc, but your suggestions was ridiculous.

[robertk1968]

@empirehorn Why is it ridiculous to only have donations from people again? Every four years these same old faces put on what amounts to a farcical musical to allow you to have a vote to choose between two completely corupted partied. Radical change is needed my friend and this is the only way because hyperinflation BY DESIGN is on its way. It has also been sugested to ban party politics, but you might think that was 'completely ridiculous', step outside of the box mon amie !

[empirehorn]

@robertk1968 Curbing donations is not the same as removing corporations' right to exist as a legal person. The latter IS ridiculous and I'd imagine that's why you haven't tried to argue otherwise, aside from your first post. Mon amie.

[robertk1968]

@empirehorn I never said that they were the same, But I do think that corporations should not exist either as PERSONS or as corporations for that matter. Orignally they were given a charter to carry out civil projects for the states. The concept of co-operatives, orignal charities and business ran very well before the turn of the centuary before Personhood was ruled upon. Corporations now own countries, they are non accountable and run by a cabal of offshore elite corupt sociopaths. Mi Amigo !

[hunt1803]

Great rant starts at 4:18

[Guernicaman]

Ratigan 2012!

[Ohloveeh]

Notice that Ratigan lost the tie after he was on the Young Turks :D

[HEADSCAM]

Ratigan for President

[ccheng21]

welcome to the downfall of the American Empire and the rise of China

[camaro1j]

Can you say valium?

[TheGunpowderTreason]

Wait...a liberal commentator, expressing an emotion besides snarkiness? Wow!

[GamerFrom93]

what did we learn... the person who yells the loudest wins, in america

[Justdabomb2]

@GamerFrom93 Not really, the girls were trying to interrupt him and he was just getting louder as a way to continue his point while also letting them know he's not finished yet. You would be that guy who looks away from the actual problem. Ignorant.

[napalmfuzz]

@Dudedubba Can you debunk one single point he made? 

[carlcun1979]

@napalmfuzz

Dudebba = Bot

[Gothguy47]

lol Jimmy Williams said virtually nothing up to the very end.

[snipzor]

lol, the title of Political Panic totally fits Dylan's fit. Hilarious.

/Dylan's view on the overall problem is simplifying a problem

//As well as simplifying a solution, which is pretty much the recognition of the problem

///Slashies

[mrquiet2009]

You fucking rule, Dylan. Go for it!

[cradle177]

I know it's very cynical and a pessimistic way of thinking. However, if Americans don't realize that congress is bought, than they are part of the problem too. Politicians only do what's best for those who fund their elections.

[ShellySummers]

DAM i knew i loved dylan for a reason!!!!
