» 9 comments

ratiganMSNBC host Dylan Ratigan had on congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz yesterday, to discuss health care legislation, and its affect on the stock prices of Insurance companies. The discussion quickly went from spirited to pretty ugly, when Ratigan seemed unsatisfied with the responses from his guest. TV Newser noticed that shortly after his show ended, Ratigan tweeted “Will apologize for losing temper”

    He was no more obnoxious than Larry O’Donnel when he was “interviewing” a republican. I guess when it’s a dem that is the guest, apologies are mandated by MSNBC.

    Hey Dylan, Let the rude and the nasty be the domain of fox News hosts.

    So where are all these ‘happy Lib’ media hacks now that they have the government of their dreams, ‘health care reform,’ and a ‘global warming agreement.’ Shouldn’t they be dancing with glee at places like MSNBC and The New York Times? There’s a tremendous amount of satisfaction to see all these Lib media hacks seething with rage AND watching their ratings/readership plummet. Clearly, it wasn’t supposed to be this kind of year for them.

    Just another anti-business douche nozzle, who gives a crap. More people died yesterday in shark attacks than watch msnbc anyway.

    I saw nothing that deserves an apology. He stopped her from spouting off talking points. I love to see a politician’s feet held to the fire.

    agreed. IF Ratigan is ever let off the leash, he can be a force in the Media. He won’t be as long as he is with
    MSNbobamac…

    Left on left rage…oh the humanity.

    I tend to think many people get frustrated when they ask honest questions and get “horsefeather” answers. Clearly the Congresswoman was obfuscating the truth. (But then, among Democrats, what’s new?)

    I will be honest, I am far from being a Herman Cain fan but I am truly disgusted at Mr. Ratigan’s out and out racism here.  To suggest that a white guy who finally admits that he is a big pervert is just a former liar but a black man who MIGHT turn out to be the same type of person should be registered as a sex offender is absolutely despicable.  Obviously Mr. Cain has some explaining to do and I don’t think anyone would find it easy to overlook these giant character flaw IF it turns out these allegations are proven or he follows Mr. Clinton’s path and admits it but it is this same attitude that Mr. Ratigan has displayed which shows just how far we are from enjoying true freedom.  If we are going to fight for equal opportunity, then we must also fight for equality within our disdain for those who abuse his or her position over others.
