Leftist Icon Calls For Violent Socialist War Against Tea Partiers

[bugscoe]

The lesson given to us by our resident leftists:

As long as the person calling for violence is unknown, it's meaningless and a joke.

Hey, didn't the "unknown" Time Square bomber get called out for being an angry tea partier pissed off over health care? Idiots, unknown people should be ignored as long as they're leftists.

That's what you almost always claim when it really applies to you.

Quote from bugscoe:

“Are things in our country so bad that it might actually be time for revolution?” Dylan Radigan asked yesterday on his MSNBC show. His unequivocal reply: “The answer is obviously ‘yes.’ The only question is, ‘how to do it?’”

No need for any kind of revolution.

Simply, adhere to the principles of the Constitution. In doing so, "the right policy" is already spelled out. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE DAMNED THING! THAT'S WHY THE GENIUS OF THE FOUNDERS GAVE IT TO US!

The only ones who want revolution are the liars and thieves who what to TAKE BY FORCE what others have earned.

No, the point is that there are goofs on all sides. The OP, and others, are saying "all leftists".

I agree however, I can guarantee you that the moment some unknown goof from the tea partier calls for violence, it will be breaking news everywhere with the media claiming, "see, we told you how violent these racists are!"

The problem for the left is the tea party folk haven't fallen for any of it and they need some chaos to implement more of their regress.

So what kinds of abuses are we obviously going to rise up against? “Wrongful wars,“ ”corrupt economy,“ ”special interest industries,” “the political system itself,“ and ”gerrymandering.”

“To clear our dire problems may require even more drastic solutions,” he said. While introducing his cartoonist guest, Ratigan says those solutions might include “violence or at least the threat thereof”:

all correct.

but where does this go against the tea party? i would think the tea party would be in league with this type of change!

Probably.

Ok, just watched the video. It seems like he was advocating revolution based on leftist thinking. He didn't specifically name the tea party. However, it's hard to believe that this recent epiphany of his had nothing to do with the recent elections...

i dunno man, if you watch ratigan, you'll know that first and foremost, he hates the banks, the corrupt government and politicians.

I don't think it's the government Ratigan has in mind when speaking of violence.

Dylan Ratigan Disparages Tea Party as Pyromaniacal Crazies Bent on Destruction
By Ken Shepherd | November 03, 2010 | 17:10

Tea Party members, MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan wants you to know that he’s just like you.

Except of course that he’s not a pyromaniacal lunatic hell-bent on destroying America.

That’s how the MSNBC anchor leaned forward, no, make that leaped, into insanity during a November 3 segment with Nicolle Wallace. The former George W. Bush staffer told Ratigan that, like him, Tea Partiers who fueled last night's electoral shakeup were furious at the direction of the country the past few years.

That's where Ratigan launched into his screed.

“Two people are pissed off, one becomes a Tea Partier, one, the other one becomes Dylan Ratigan,” the MSNBC host argued, adding:

<object width="518" height="419"><param name="movie" value="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/eyeblast.swf?v=hdSU8zaG6U" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/eyeblast.swf?v=hdSU8zaG6U" allowfullscreen="true" width="518" height="419" /></object>

The Tea Partier burns themselves in the town square and then tries to burn the whole town down, because they’re so pissed off. [It] gratifies their anger. Yee ha! You’re mad, you just killed everybody!

I’m mad, I’m using it to motivate me to work 18-hour days to try to first propagate the information properly and secondarily organize around it. So while I would say the emotional origin is similar, the manifestation instead of being destroy the country, destroy myself, which is what the Tea Party in my view has become, where the anger is just converted into destruction, that the anger can be converted into construction.

In response to that, Wallace argued, “their anger was converted into electoral success last night.”

“Whoop-ti-do,” Ratigan flippantly and childishly retorted.

“Well, whoop-ti-do, we live in a democracy and that’s our system,” Wallace shot back.

I agree for the most part. However, I feel like the "evil rich people" sentiment was very palpable in his speech. I agree with most of what he said. However, it's hard to think that he doesn't hold the leftist belief that rich people are inherently "bad". It's also hard to think that his whole rant wasn't predicated by the election results. That said, I agree with much of what he had to say. However, bugs brings up good points about other statements that were made...
