Dylan losing it now on MSNBC...

[sfpcjock]

"Your Congress is bought!"

[spanone]

1. time to tune out. too much yelling.

[socialindependocrat]

122. There is a link for MSNBC

If you would like to contact MSNBC and express yourself, here is the link:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10285339/

go to MSNBC and at the bottom of the page "contact" and "reader inquiries"


You can submit a comment / question or even an idea for the show.

It's as easy as posting on D/U

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

2. He shouldn't even bother having guests

[sfpcjock]

62. Yes, you're sort of right...

Susan Del Perico took a dump on Obama, the other one said something and he blew up about "the extraction". He's talking about the Banksters and getting mad that we can't have a comprehensive solution that goes even beyond the end of Obama's first term. It looked kind of rude.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

77. I'm tired of Rethugs saying Obama is a failure as a leader

His failure to lead comes from the fact ASSHOLES LIKE HER AND MIKE STEELE BASH HIS LIBERAL PROPOSALS!!!!! She had the fucking nerve to talk about the public option!!!!

[valerief]

3. He sure is! And he's absolutely right! nt

[flamingdem]

17. About what? Having the uberwealthy repatriate their stolen funds for 5% instead of 15% ?

He's too blind having worked for Wall Street previously and he's an admitted conservative.

[RKP5637]

32. I'm glad he's doing it and I agree, but in America it's almost useless anymore. All of

the handwriting is on the wall and nothing happens. It's like telling the captain we're headed for an iceberg and he says STFU.

The only thing that will fix the US is a total collapse, because the monied has this country in a stranglehold and the noose is tightening. The citizens have to get really PO'ed, I still think that point is a long way off. This should just be renamed Lethargic Nation.

WI is a glimmer of hope! Maybe it will be contagious.

[flamingdem]

4. But his point is always "get the bums out" and blame Obama nt

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. LOOK at the faces of his guests! OMG! They are freaked!

:rofl: Man...that was a great RANT!

[ChiciB1]

23. I LOVE DYLAN RATIGAN!! I Don't Give A Flying "F" What ANYONE Here

replies to me... THIS GUY is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RIGHT!

And NO... he's not attacking Obama SPECIFICALLY, only saying that Obama is the PRESIDENT of the FREE WORLD (supposedly) at this point in time!

THIS MAN IS CORRECT and I for one applaud him! And, I WILL repeat... HE'S SPEAKS THE TRUTH! So flame away, point out that I used too many CAPS, WHATEVER, but this is one guy I've been watching for a long, long time now.

Further, I consider myself a LIBERAL and this is what is needed in this country RIGHT NOW! He previously worked at CNBC and KNOWS a great deal about WALL STREET!

I'll stop for now, but I WILL NOT back down!

[CleanGreenFuture]

26. Me too. I've been watching him poke the banksters in the eye since 2008, just

months before that year's meltdown.

[butterfly77]

33. He's another wall street mfker...

fuck em and the rest of the gang,he is angry now but he didn't give a damn as long as it wasn't effecting him or people he knows. Another cnbc asshole. Yesterday,must have affected his portfolio..

[CleanGreenFuture]

39. Well, I guess you told us. I guess you'll be moving along now since you hate

Ratigan and this thread is about him.

[butterfly77]

59. No you move along...

I will be staying,Dylan...

[flamingdem]

42. copy that, he was on Wall St for decades, he is NOT a Democrat nt

[RKP5637]

38. Same here, I don't give a flying F what people say. I think Dylan has been on

target since the day he came on.

[RyanPsych]

106. Heard that! And what's even more impressive

about his rant is that he calls himself a conservative, and he is still ashamed of the ridiculousness going on at his former place of business

[sfpcjock]

98. +1

[polichick]

6. The veins in his neck are gonna burst!

[flamingdem]

7. Dylan is just as corrupt, he wants offshore funds to be repatriated for 5% nt

[tridim]

18. +1 He also apparently wants a dictatorship.

I know lots of people like Dylan. Always fuming mad, but never offering anything remotely close to a realistic solution.

[flamingdem]

41. He's a phoney, a conservative who rails against the banks, but who is he?

If you listen carefully you will see him destroy Democrats as a part of his "theory".

[butterfly77]

63. +1

[dionysus]

121. he'll sucker ppl in anyhow.

[OneGrassRoot]

8. Just seeing the last few minutes but WOW....goosebumps!

Can't wait to get this video clip!!!

:applause:

Edit to add that I guess I need to see the full discussion before getting so excited; itseems many here didn't care for what he said. What I saw, I surely agreed with though as far as getting money out of politics and the banking industry being thieves.

[CleanGreenFuture]

13. He was on fire. I've never seen anything like it.

[ChiciB1]

35. He Was Great... Don't Be Fooled That He's Only Doing It For Himself!

Yes, he IS in a RAGE, but I've been in a RAGE for a very long time now and I'm SUPER HAPPY he blew a gasket and TOLD ALL OF US what MOST OF US already know! STAND UP AND FIGHT!!!

:bounce: :bounce:

[flamingdem]

43. Tell me what you understand about "Extraction" or is it just the angry that attracts you? nt

[Samantha]

109. Tens of Trillions of Dollars are being extracted from this Country

via the bankers, an unbalanced tax policy and unfair trade policies. Not one politician is doing anything about it.

That is essentially what he said. The only thing he forgot to mention is they now prepare to extract what they can from Social Security and Medicare, Medicaid.

Sam

[RKP5637]

58. He sounded like what spins through my head most of the day, but none

hear the voices in my head, well sort of so to say.

[mmonk]

86. People here are very selective when it comes to criticizing those in Washington.

I've got your back.

;-)

[banned from Kos]

9. "get the money out of politics" -- Obama took only individual donations

no PAC money, no corporate money.

Dylan is selling his rage again - to no one.

[flamingdem]

12. Dylan and his rightwing guests have nothing new to say, it's Repuke claptrap nt

[banned from Kos]

19. Agreed. Ratigan is tearing a page out of the Taibbi playbook.

"I'm mad! You're mad! We're all mad! But I got nothing else!"

[flamingdem]

31. Exactly, because if he was honest any progressive/liberal would be horrified

He is a conservative and not a supporter of Democratic ideals.

More importantly as you point out he's not really taking a side and fools those who cannot see through him.

[trumad]

72. Don't fuck with Taibbi...

Matt is simply the best political journalist on the planet.

[banned from Kos]

82. Taibbi is a talented wordsmith for sure

but he does not understand Finance or Law.

He called out the GS CEO for perjury and it was later discovered Taibbi lied.

(GS was long mortgages - which MT claimed was untrue). Taibbi could not be a Bloomberg beat reporter with his hijinx.

[trumad]

88. Horseshit...

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/business/2011/06/matt-taibbi-slams-andrew-ross-sorkins-goldman-sachs-defense/38726/

[banned from Kos]

96. of course some GS traders shorted mortgages.

but Goldman also owned billions in mortgages - see Litton Mortgage. a wholly owned subsidiary of GS.

Taibbi denied GS was long mortgages - he foolishly was wrong to sell his Rolling Stone paper. I, and other investors, see him as a yellow journalist.

I read Bloomberg for accuracy - not Taibbi.

[trumad]

99. Yeah---you read Ross Sorkin because he fits your narrative.

You and other investors turn your eyes away as GS, AIG, and other hedge scumbags rape this country.

[banned from Kos]

102. Sorkin is a liberal New York Times reporter. Taibbi is a liar not fit

for Bloomberg or the NYT.

Sorkin's book "Too Big To Fail" won many awards. Taibbi's book "Griftopia" was ignored.

Taibbi is a Yellow Journalist - he is the Sarah Palin of financial journalism.

[trumad]

115. to big to fail

Dude... you are nothing more than a corporatist doucebag.

[banned from Kos]

116. It is "Too" Big to Fail and you even botched "douche bag"

Taibbi likes low info readers though. You are in his money pit.

[trumad]

117. you're

Embarrassing yourself.

You are clearly a Wall Street stooge.

[tgal]

107. Yes he is

thanks Trumad.

[Chimichurri]

16. Wake up! You're dreaming.

[banned from Kos]

So you buy this stupid TV porn? When has Ratigan ever offered a solution?

He rants and raves and waves his arms - nothing else.

[butterfly77]

78. And talks sweet..

to the Teabaggers when they are on and screams at the Dems,and never lets them speak brings on the bald he asshole republicon who was on today and lets him make a speech.

Now he is upset because of his portfolio. Thank the teabaggers Dylan..

[girl gone mad]

29. lol.

[banned from Kos]

119. girl gone mad - you have nothing again

the brevity of your posts only signals the superiority of mine.

[RKP5637]

10. He will take a vacation for telling the truth and be gone. The system is fucked. n/t

[banned from Kos]

56. No one gives a fuck about Ratigan. He is today's Howard Beale

"I'm mad as hell and I am not taking it anymore!"


I assure you - NO ONE from the 70's knows what he was mad about.

He and Matt Taibbi sell slop to know-nothings.

[florida08]

11. OMG

That was fucking great..and I don't use that word..but wow. He got me fired up

[flamingdem]

14. He's into equating Republicans and Democrats, which to me means supporting Republicans nt

[alsame]

20. You don't think any Dems are bought? nt

[flamingdem]

36. I think the Republicans and Koch brothers have sold out our country, not the Democrats nt

[alsame]

40. So you don't think any Dems are bought? nt

[flamingdem]

52. I love wasting my time discussing reality with people like you NOT nt

[girl gone mad]

65. Looks like you prefer to avoid reality.

[flamingdem]

67. Why so nasty? You never answered my question. But if you

really believe that no Dems are bought, you should spend some of your precious time looking at the voting records of some Dems in the House and Senate.

[flamingdem]

81. Because simply your way of expressing yourself tells me you are bought nt

[alsame]

84. ROFL!!!! Have a nice day, I hope you feel better. nt

[tgal]

108. Right back at ya n/t

[RKP5637]

68. Koch brothers donate to dems too. I don't have the link right now. n/t

[florida08]

75. don't you think I know that

but that's not the point..the democrats capitulate with the republicans for the same reasons..don't upset the money cart. Yes I know there are a few good democrats but where were they when Bernie Sanders was filibustering all day? Where was the support?

[RKP5637]

91. Yep, there is an overlap between R's and D's and

it's called the Capitalist Party. A lot of these guys have common ground when it comes to their personal money and interests.

and he's right. I realize the lesser of 2 evils is better but it's till on the wrong side of what's right.
If democrats are so supportive of us where were they during Bernie Sanders 81/2 hour filibuster on the tax deal.
I remember only two. The DLC has had support from the Koch brothers too. We really need to wake up.

[sfpcjock]

104. +1

I still like a good rant from time to time.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. There is something in the water...

We are getting a few more of those moments now.

[ChiciB1]

44. LISTEN... Whatever He MAY Have Been... I Seriously Don't Think It

applies now. He's talked about HOW AWFUL Timmy G has been for so very long and has said over and over for almost 2 years that I know of, that HE MUST GO!

You can say he's a REPUKE CONSERVATIVE, but I say YOU ARE WRONG!

[nadinbrzezinski]

45. WOW did I say that?

All I said is the media is starting to give us more of those anger moments...

[ChiciB1]

66. Not Attacking You... I Think I KNOW Where You're Coming From...

I was just adding that it's FINALLY TIME!

I KNOW many here DON'T agree with me, I've been attacked many, many times, but I KNOW how I feel and the fact that he said it so forcefully made me FEEL GOOD! For the first time in a very, very long time!

[nadinbrzezinski]

76. Gotcha!

:thumbsup:

Expect the attacks to go up, sadly.

[flamingdem]

47. He states openly on his program that he is a conservative, too bad so many here cannot perceive it n

[ChiciB1]

60. Well... Then He Must Be ONE Conservative That Get It! I Don't See It That

way! He's been talking about how Wall Street & THE BANKSTERS have been holding this country hostages FOR decades!

[flamingdem]

61. The problem is that you don't hear him destroying the Democrats with his babble nt

[ChiciB1]

74. DONE WITH YOU!! n/t

[flamingdem]

83. I am fine with that ciao nt

[Raksha]

64. You don't have to be a liberal to call out bloodsuckers and thieves...

and what we have in this country isn't just an oligarchy but a kleptocracy.

[Fuddnik]

100. You mean the same Timmy G who's been wrong about everything?

For his entire life?

The regulator who didn't read his job description? Didn't know he was supposed to regulate?

That Timmy G?

[lpbk2713]

21. He says Ed Schultz is coming up next.

Ed was on fire last night too.

[Cleita]

27. Ed should have a good show tonight with the results of

the Wisconsin recall elections.

[sabrina 1]

22. I hope someone puts up the video soon.

He's certainly right about Congress being bought.

[sfpcjock]

28. I'll tell you what happened in a moment.

I'm watching the dvr tape now...

[sabrina 1]

48. Okay, thanks ~

[sabrina 1]

101. I didn't! Great, much appreciated. Off to watch it now!

:-)

[Cleita]

24. He's just realizing this? n/t

[ChiciB1]

49. NO!!! He's Been Talking About This For A VERY, VERY LONG TIME!

Too many people here just haven't watched him regularly enough to UNDERSTAND! That's the only thing I can think of, because had you been watching you would have SEEN THIS COMING!

I'm SO HAPPY he got enraged because it's about time WE ALL DID, and WE ALL DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

So, go ahead and call him out, say he's a sleaze bag, WHATEVER, but what he just said IS THE TRUTH!

If he loses his job, some may be happy, but it will be a BIG MISTAKE AGAIN, by MSNBC. One more thing that many may not know... HE was instrumental in getting Cenk his job BEFORE they screwed CENK!

They are very good FRIENDS!

[butterfly77]

25. This mfker..

is so damn upset now,where in the fuck was this anger during the bush years. How much did you lose dylan? I hope all of these mfkers lose.

Now,many are out of their comfort zone. Join the club mfkers bring on the austerity,what you see in london will be here next but it will be worse. Have you been looking at the crime its already here on a lower scale. Frankly I don't give a damn!

[CleanGreenFuture]

30. He was plenty angry during the bush years. He was right there the whole time, poking the

banksters in their dollar-sign eyes.

[butterfly77]

53. He is part of the club..

he changes like the wind. Did he bash bush all eight years.

He is non stop on Obama,fuck him and the rest of the media mfkers who only give a damn once it fucks with their portfolio.Fuck em.

[flamingdem]

57. It's so true that Dylan is in a shitty mood when he's losing on the market!

Most people don't realize what a Wall Street guy is still is

[ChiciB1]

55. THANK YOU... Too Many Here Just Don't Seem To Understand I Guess... n/t

[flamingdem]

46. DYLAN WANTS AUSTERITY, he said that on several occaisions, you must LISTEN CAREFULLY nt

[ChiciB1]

71. SORRY... YOU MUST LISTEN! Or You Can Choose Not To! WHATEVER! n/t

[roxiejules]

110. From Dylan's Twitter....

"Clinton gave us Trade and Banking extraction. Bush gave us War and Tax Cuts. And Obama is Ignoring All 4."

[ChiciB1]

112. My Only Comment Is... Were Any Of The Statements Lies? n/t

[pacalo]

34. Love that picture -- although the caption doesn't include Lee Raymond's $400 million retirement

package & the fact that his salary at Exxon in 2005 was $51.1 million. That's equivalent to $141,000 a day, nearly $6,000 an hour.

http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=1841989

[sfpcjock]

69. I kno, thanks.

and thanks for the data :)

[immoderate]

37. TV in the next room got my attention. "What's all that screaming?"

What a rant, by TV standards, but every day on DU.

BTW, what I heard, I agree with.

"We're being extracted," malapropic, in that we are still here,:shrug: but I get what he means. Maybe it's archaic but bled is accurate though gentle.

--imm

[BackToThe60s]

50. It must be Tuesday, then

:shrug:

[mfcorey1]

51. His rant was ridiculous and it was his opinion even though he didn't want to listen to the

opinion of his guest when he cut McKinney off but let the other lady give her total response. Dylan is a right wing hack and what spews from his mouth is similar to the garbage that comes from Joe Scarborough.

[flamingdem]

54. +100

[butterfly77]

85. The other lady must

be a republicon,he lets the bald headed repub who is usually on the show everyday,preach til his hearts content.

[malaise]

70. I remember when they tried to hide Michael Parenti's book

Democracy for the Few and charged ridiculous prices to keep that book away from students. Michael has lived to see his thoughts discussed publicly on mainstream TV. Who would have 'thunk'!

[BackToThe60s]

73. Is that an actual photo of Lee Raymond???

EWW!!!!!

[ProSense]

80. Was he

advocating that the Republicans should be kicked out first?

Starting with Boehner, Cantor, Bachmann and about 30 other House Republicans, and in the Senate, Corker, Hatch and Brown.

Fine by me!

who do not have TV.

[Bozita]

120. Thank you

[OneGrassRoot]

113. How can anyone NOT agree with this rant?!

I don't care about Ratigan's history or motives, the bottom line is that he spoke the truth in this rant: Money in politics IS the root of our country's evils!

Who denies that politicians are bought and paid for to varying degrees?!!

I TOTALLY agree with this rant and would LOVE to see President Obama get up in front of the American people and say the exact same thing -- ripping the scab off of the joke that is our political system and refusing to "play nice" any more.

Once again, I :applause: this rant!!!

[ChiciB1]

114. Gee, I Think I'll Put You On Another "I Love You" List... I Don't Understand

why everyone is attacking him for speaking the truth. Does it really matter that the truth involved Clinton & Obama?

Are we really supposed to go along with something that's wrong simply because the person is a Democrat? How many Democrats in Congress have been on our side lately? How many Democrats have been fighting for us lately? These are the questions we should be asking. So, IF the person pointing out the obvious doesn't have the right initial behind his name, does that make him wrong?

I've checked out information on Ratigan and maybe I didn't read every single word, but I NEVER saw the letter (R) and assumed he may be an (I), or Green Party or Libertarian. I don't know for sure. Still, to me what he said made a whole lot of sense, and it's what so many here have been saying for YEARS!

I know he's attacked The Idiot many times and just because he worked on Wall Street doesn't make him evil. HE was the one who left there, he did not get fired. It was his choice, so maybe his views have "evolved" somewhat.

I'll quit on this now, but I still support him and I'll still be watching him when I can.
