Dylan Ratigan is an asshole.

[Critters2]

I've never seen him before. And probably won't watch again.

[redqueen]

1. LOL... *and* a dumbass...

he's the guy who claimed the US gov't isn't in the business of providing services.

Cause you know... the mail isn't a service. Nor are the fire or police departments.

[Critters2]

10. See. That's what an asshole would say,

no matter how many fans he has on DU.

[redqueen]

13. No. He doesn't have fans on DU does he?

How can this be?

Did he say something not mind-bendingly stupid one time?

[redqueen]

14. Oh, and when he made that stupid claim, he was arguing against a public option.

Just FYI.

[tridim]

2. He's playing devil's advocate in this segment.

He's on our side.

[Critters2]

3. The devil seems to have plenty of advocates.

This guy was still acting like an ass.

[tridim]

5. He is an ass, and I really don't like his personality..

but that doesn't mean he's a Freeper. He is not.

[Critters2]

12. While all Freepers are assholes,

not all assholes are Freepers.

[WCGreen]

4. That's why he is no longer on CNBC

[TexasObserver]

7. Agreed.

[TexasObserver]

6. Disagree.

[ChiciB1]

8. To Me He's Probably A "Middle Of The Roader" Type! Leans This Way

and that! If C-Span is dull on any given day I will watch him. And he does have people on who actually give fairly progressive views.

JMHO!

[loyalkydem]

9. I didn't think

I was going to like his show. But others are right. He did a good job but I don't know if I will watch him on a regular basis. He's not as interesting to me as Ed, Keith, Chris, and Rachael.

[kentuck]

11. He has had some very good conversations on the bailouts...

and the economy in general. Very useful. He is not a right winger, no matter that he tends to talk too much over other guests. Asshole? That's another issue entirely.

[Jackpine Radical]

15. Hoodafuk is Dylan Ratigan?

[Critters2]

16. The asshole on "Morning Meeting" on MSNBC. nt

[Jackpine Radical]

17. There are apparently some significant advantages to avoiding the tube.

We have one somewhere, hooked up to a satellite dish or something but I don't even know how to turn it on. If the dog or I want to watch something, we have to get my wife to turn it on for us. The dog likes Animal Planet. I watch Bill Moyers once every couple of months if my wife happens to be watching it.
