Ratigan, Ratigan, Ratigan......
Edited on Thu Mar-25-10 03:13 PM by FrenchieCat
You're killing me!

You are gonna have to be stronger Dylan.
If you are gonna invite dickheads onto your show to spew bullshit,
you're gonna have to start taking a firmer stance to put them in their place.
This buddy-buddy approach with a fucking liar ain't cutting it.
This walking the sitting on the fence tightrope act, and never giving Democrats
any dues just ain't doing it for me at all.

Think I'm gonna have to give up on this particular hour.
Ratigan can fool some of the people some of the time,
but I ain't no fool.

1. Ratigan isn't affective at all and doesn't....
even need his own show. He gets on my nerves.

4. He talks an awful lot, but ends up saying not enough.
Although he sure know how to get his digs in on Democrats....
but unfortunately, that appears to be the only thing he is good at.

2. I don't think
he thinks Breitbart's a dickhead. There's the problem right there.

6. If that's so, he hasn't done his homework, which is even worse.
"I" know who and what he is, I wish we could expect a talking head to know, too. x(

7. Unfortunately, that's what I'm picking up on.
He's good at defending the TeaBaggers as much as he can
without being obvious to those who don't pay close attention.

16. Yes
I think it's more that he wants to play both sides against the other. That way, when whatever happens happens, he can always point to the 50% of the time he was on that side as proof of his position of the moment.

3. Yup-he says he AGREES with much of what is on Breitbart's website...
and he didn't even QUESTION the guy's claim that teabaggers can't organize, that it's like "herding cats," and that it's the "left" that knows how to organize. Why didn't Dylan ask him about the claim of "1-2 million" teabaggers who gathered in DC or any other inflated number of their gatherings? I can't stand Ratigan.

5. I watched him once
When he went off the beam on the stimulus and banking crisis, I knew he was another Lou Dobbs. I don't know when he will out himself fully, but he will. Give him time.

10. Nobody, and I mean nobody coming from CNBC could be decent
at the end of the day. He's just better than most at hoodwinking those
who would want to hear him rail at the business that made him rich in the
first place. He needs to go back to CNBC, so he can talk about the 11,000 dow
sneaking on his ass.

8. discussed many times before
His number one objective is to spend the next five months saying both sides suck, then in October he will come out and state, "maybe we need to give Republicans a chance."

He is not very good at hiding his agenda.

17. Yep. That's why I've had the warning bells out......
for the past couple of months.

I'm getting less challenge from the Ratigan lovers at this point.

My BS meter went off going back to his days on Morning Joe.

Him and Santelli; two peas in a pod...he's just a bit less obvious,
but his agenda his the same....actually, more insidious.

9. I remember you calling him out
a While back when he was seeing nothing wrong with the teabaggers.

Looks like he hasn't gotten any better.

The corporatewhores have gotten their marching orders to do the teabagger damage control.

It's one of the best tricks we have.

27. It's everything else but that.....
and how dare those Black Congresspeople walk through the Teabaggers while cameras were rolling.
Where is the justice in this country that this should be allowed? :sarcasm:

Yep...ok.

Fuck you Ratigan with your non response to this kind of bullshit that you just allowed spewed
on your fucked up show!

will throw bricks through their home windows and no Republicans will come back on their shows. The well known horns of a dilemma. Which way to go? Bad or worse? So they straddle the dilemma and have one foot firmly planted in bad and the other in worse. Problem solved.

and when he was done spewing, she said "Thank you for your time". Hello???

32. I like Ratigan, sue me
admittingly now that he's not on in the morning I can't watch since I'm at work. But I always liked this and wasn't willing to throw him under the bus because he didn't play for the democratic team.

34. Dylan is in the Ratigan full employment business.
He has bounced form one network to the next, hosting show after show after show.

Sorry - I am under-impressed.
