Morning Meetings Dylan Ratigan, President of NARAL Pro-Choice America Nancy Keenan and Family Research Councils Cathy Ruse discuss how the controversial abortion amendment may stop the health reform bill in its tracks.

_______

Dylan's entire show today was right on the money but his willingness to call out the FRC's lie for what it was made my day. The smug smile can't cover the fact that Ruse got strung out to dry.

...."Stick to the facts" interjections from interviewers. Don't just sit there like a potted plant and let these propagandists have their piece.

:mad:

:sarcasm:

love this guy, he needs to be on prime time.

marvelous change at MSNBC toward reality and the truth.

once in awhile, I got tired of the obsession with Bill O'Reilly.

That's the way it's done. Crack the friggin' whip, man. Way to go Dylan. Thanks for putting this video up.

HUGE knr!!! :kick:

checked out info on him and if I'm not mistaken HE IS NOT MARRIED! Not that old either. I'm married, I don't care, but I'm almost positive he's single.

He's really been doing a number regarding Wall Street AND especially Tim Geithner and Goldman Sachs, AND he knows a thing or two about both! Check him out, I think he was a FINANCIAL analyst for CNBC and recently quit them!

I love his "in-your-face" style and doesn't mince words at all! Lot's of fun to watch, and calls Corporations Corporate Communists A LOT!

I really, really do appreciate how he just comes out with facts, figures and "you better not lie to me" attitude! Will nail you to the wall! Can't say enough GOOD about him... he's and Independent or "other" because he has said he's not one of the TWO parties in power!

Watch out!

Not that Dylan said what he said or that he treated Cathy like he did. What disappoints me is that this kind of behavior is necessary. Too many people - on the left AND right - are unwilling to listen to the facts and want only to spout off their talking points. And what has happened is that the only way to shut them up is to forcibly call them out on their bullshit.

with all the LIARS! I just think he's great!! Is that coming through from me?? Sorry, I just think he's at least trying to hold some feet to the fire!!

It's enough to make you wish he were on in the evening, though the show would have to be shorter. Maybe there could be an evening digest or summary of some kind.

his becoming (at least on the air) aware of the BS he was being forced to peddle on CNBC. I watched as it began to eat at his soul. I watched as he got closer and closer to snapping. I watched him snap. I watched him leave CNBC. I was very happy to see him re-emerge on MSNBC. I have watched him manifest his disdain for BS. I have been and am now a huge fan.

with her worn out talking points.

... doesn't suffer fools gladly. K&R

...when the lying liars that spread their misinformation are stopped dead in their tracks. I would suspect we won't be seeing too many of them voluntarily come on Dylan's program in the future. Ouch! She got her well deserved spanking!!

Is this clip over twenty years old?

K&R

Brilliant

miracle, it does need to pass with the laguage somehow corrected to restore pro choice rights. The thing that's getting me is how hard this is getting when we were doing so well. The main factr here is more women have to run for office no male really has any right on this topic of privacy.

While Ratigan has dared to tell the truth, the right-wing blogosphere will use this as just another excuse to cry out "liberal media bias"!

but that's been the case for years now. Silent the truth tellers by accusing them of "bias" while pushing far right corporate bias further and further into an all out blatant lie to serve an unpopular and extreme ideology.

I regularly watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann online since I don't have cable. Olbermann always owns those brainless reich wing scumbags by exposing the silliness and sheer smears that come out of their stinky mouths. Today, I watched him KO Carrie Prejean's claims of a vast left-wing conspiracy against her and other conservative women.

However, I searched on Mediamatters.org to find out instances when MSNBC goes the direction of (coughcough) Fox News.

In September, Dylan Ratigan did not challenge a smear on ACORN from Brian Faughan, a blogger at redstate.com.

MSNBC interviewed Andrew Schlafly, founder of Conservapedia, twice in one day on its news coverage hours while covering Texas Gov. Rick Perry's plan to mandate HPV vaccines in public schools.

Conservatives love to hate Chris Matthews, despite Matthews's long track record of advancing inaccurate right-wing talking points.

Nancy Keenan did well, too. Stupak cannot be run out of office soon enough.

K&R

currently have! 85% of current insurance policies cover elective abortions. Therefore, you are taking away what people have and like.

Let's be clear that this is a MIDDLE CLASS entitlement that is being threatened! Yes, people "say" in some polls that they don't like abortion. But when it comes right down to it, if it's THEIR unplanned pregnancy, well that's another story!

I look forward to your posts and am never disappointed.

simplified some way. Stringing legislative words together one after another it not the way to reach. The argument only became translatable at the very end - when the right wing lady says that the Amendment expands the coverage for elective abortion which I take to mean more corporations will be (able?) to offer elective abortion coverage. The Naral lady then says that 85% of insurance companies already cover it.

Somehow, these peope have to ratchet it down to simpler phrasing. I admit the right wing lady from the Family Council pretty simply lying.

I think we have long pasr the point where EXPANDED LYING is cute, or novel, or smart, or clever or whatever they think they are pulling off.

That includes Congress.

He's the media version of Alan Grayson and it's awesome. It's past time we bluntly call them out on their lies and unbelievable hypocrisy. So many on the right now, both politicians and non politicians, would have fit in nice and cozy with the third Reich. When they die they can roast weenies down in Hell with Adolph and the guys.

To bad he didn't stand up to Dick Armey this morning when he was making fun of people who can't afford insurance. He just sat there and let him spew the hate.
