Did I just watch Dylan Ratigan allow some right wing hack to ...

[JoePhilly]

spew right wing talking points endlessly??????

The guy went on and on and on ... point after point ... as if he was at a tea party rally.

Ratigan says nothing ...

And then goes to the CA decision ... and then moves on to new topics.

Liberal media??????????????????????????

[babylonsister]

1. That's why I change the channel every day. nt

[AtomicKitten]

2. Ratigan's kinda douche-y like that. nt

[lob1]

3. The rightie even had his own charts displayed on the

screen as if the whole thing was planned with the producer's help. How else could they have all the visuals pop up on cue as the guy talked?

[JoePhilly]

4. Exactly ... it was total BS

[Phx_Dem]

5. Since Dylan got his own show, he pretends to be a populist "everyman,"

but he's still the same right wing hack he was on CNBC. I can't even look at him because of the constipated look that never leaves his face.

6. Ratigen is a GOPer Hack himself posing as objective.. he is ,,,not

[spiritual_gunfighter]

7. I don't know how to read Ratigan at all

Sometimes he lets these right wing douchebags get away with lying on his show, then other times like with Mark Williams a few weeks ago, he shuts them down immediately.

[FrenchieCat]

8. In November.....

he will be asking telling his audience to vote for the anti-incumbent....
so one just has to do the math to understand what his end goal is.....
and it ain't one that supports anything on the Democratic platform.

He's a corporate double agent populist posing asshole.

17. Well said nt

[Jennicut]

9. He is not a liberal. He is more libertarian then anything.

Why some here have not figured that out yet I do not know...

[BlueIdaho]

10. Dylan Ratigan's four words... and I quote...

"My friend Joe Scarborogh"

From today's program. That's all I need to know about that self promoting loud mouth.

[grantcart]

11. Dylan Ratigan is the educated "Joe the Plummer"

[90-percent]

12. Dylan

I find his comments about Wall Street and the bailouts to be very populist and progressive and I consider him very well informed on that issue. I like the guy, except for the wind chime noise he always has going on in the background.

He's been very generous with Cenk Uygur as his guest host. Is Cenk a righty, too?

-90% jimmy

[JoePhilly]

15. Cenk is a moderate .... and a self-proclaimed former Republican

I've listened to his radio show for years ... he voted for Bush in 2000 and then felt sorry for having done so and left the GOP.

He's farther left on social issues than he is on fiscal issues. One of his main beefs with the GOP is that they moved so far to the right.

[LatteLibertine]

13. He annoys me at times too

and I feel he's accurate about what we need for meaningful long term Wall Street reform.

[JamesA1102]

14. RATigan does this all the time

He consistantly brings on conservatives and tea party people and let's them spew their propaganda.

[30rock]

16. Respectfully unrecommended for lack of direct quotes, transcript or video

We are not told what issues were discussed, who Ratigan interviewed, what Ratigan replied, whether the interviewee lied or not, etc. While those who despise Ratigan do not consider any of these things to be a pre-requisite before trashing him, I will wait until I'm told what happened during that interview.

[JamesA1102]

18. Since when has that been the standard around here?

Just a RATigan sychophant making a weak arguement.

[JoePhilly]

19. Fine ... I posted about 3 seconds after watching Ratigan allow what I describe.

Defend him ... don't defend him ... I do not care.

He let some right wing nut babble for about 2 minutes, and then moved on.

If you saw it, you'd be pissed. If you missed it ... well ... you can probably go find in on msnbc.com ... or maybe not.

BTW ... there was no "interview" ... he brought the guy on, let him talk, asked no questions, and then moved on.

Hold his yam sack ... don't hold his yam sack ... I don't care.

I watched his segment, and I think he sucked ...
