Dylan Ratagan just ran a thirty minute add for the Teabag movement.
He had a Tea Bag leader on(Andrew Breitbart) who kept insisting that Democrats are the violent ones and there were no racist baggers and that the Dems were lying about everything. Ratigan just let him go on without a challenge except to meekly ask him to include an anti-racist platform for the baggers. Breitbart went on to discribe how victimized the baggers were by the horrible liberals for a least ten minutes.

Breitbart insisted that MSNBC was racist and if they promised to stop he would convince the baggers to stop as well.

Ratigan said he couldn't do anything about MSNBC but that he was not a racist! He basically threw his own station under the bus and kissed this (obvious) racist's arse.

I never watch this jerk anyway and I couldn't stand to watch all of this, but how could any thinking person legitimize these monsters?

I can only assume that they share Libertarian ideals.

Sorry....this is just a rant.

4. I saw it also. Dylan has failed as an interviewer unwilling to bring up facts and
correcting or pointing out lies. I used to like him but not any more.

Had them on for extended amounts of time. More than one airing.
A display and format I won't forget, ever.

9. Replace him
His ratings suck anyway. It's time to give another person a chance.

10. K&R #8. Yesterday he totally let Teabagger Dale ROBERTSON skate
I thought he was just unprepared because I have never monitored him the way I have LIMBOsevic, Tweety, and G.E.RUSSERT, and I had seen some positive things posted here.

First, RATTIGAN set up the strawman, saying that there were reports of spitting and epithets by Teabaggers WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. The 'bagger said that IF such things happened... and RATTIGAN said, "When you say IF they happened, we have video. Play the video. Do we have the video?" So then a clip was played and the 'bagger said those were not from the past couple of days, and RATTIGAN said oh-noes they aren't, "so we don't have video, O.K." And the 'bagger skated away with his spin.

So I just thought he was unprepared. I guess not. I'm posting this in all the RATTIGAN-BREITBART threads up right now.
