And herein lies my real problem with NBC/MSNBC. What Keith Olbermann does as a private citizen and with his own money should be the least of  NBC/MSNBC’s concerns. But they are so delusional over there that they’ve convinced themselves that a two day suspension over a few thousand dollars in private campaign contributions will in some way bestow “journalistic integrity” on the very same network that would seek to legitimize a racist leftist like cartoonist Ted Rall, who is now openly calling for a violent revolution to overthrow the American government and put a stop to the Tea Party. 

“Are things in our country so bad that it might actually be time for a revolution? The answer is obviously ‘yes.’”

That’s not a Ted Rall statement, that’s MSNBC anchor Dylan Ratigan. As you watch the video below, imagine the (justifiable) uproar had those words come from a Hannity or Beck in the same context as this — an interview with a right-wing extremist calling for violence against his political opponents:

For those of you not familiar with Rall, he’s a witless, radical left-wing editorial cartoonist who’s probably most famous for his inability to draw, but thanks to the venomous left-wing viewpoints he holds, he’s enjoyed an incredible amount of mainstream success. According to his own site, the same cartoonist who called Condi Rice a “house nigga” and is now calling for organized violence in order to “bully” his insidious left-wing worldview on the rest of us, “now appear[s] in more than 100 publications around the United States, including the Los Angeles Times, Tucson Weekly, Willamette Week, Newark Star-Ledger, Village Voice and New York Times.”

Here’s an excerpt from his new book, “The Anti-American Manifesto”: (more…)

Now, there’s always a scene in zombie movies, when one non-zombie character will turn to another, and say, “If I ever turn into that, I want you to kill me.” Then they make love, and reload.

Well, I want you, dear viewer, to make the same promise to me. Except instead of killing me if I become a zombie, I want you to kill me if I ever turn into Dylan Ratigan.

I am not joking. If you see symptoms of me frothing, twitching, or ranting until my eyeballs pop out and roll across the floor – I want you to hack me to pieces with a hatchet. Try to make it quick.

See, there is a reason why no one should ever be Ratigan. He has a hard time being himself. Check him out interviewing a Tea Party leader, Mark Williams, as if Williams himself ran a concentration camp in the 1940’s. (more…)
