MSNBC Host Calls for Revolution: ‘Real Change…Perhaps Through Violence’

>> The only question is, ‘how to do it?’”

Well, “Dylan” (if that’s your real name), I’m feeling generous so I’m going to tell you exactly how to go about it.

Assemble yourselves in large numbers in rural Texas. Then, on a date you twitter out to your compadres, fan out into the countryside and storm ranches and ranch houses chosen at random.

Don’t take weapons — remember Ghandi? You’ll overpower those rubes with the force of your love and smug self-righteous ideology (and that B.O. from not showering for a week will be helpful too).

I swear this will work out great for you. For one thing you’ll catch us er I mean them totally off guard because the hicks don’t even use computers let alone Twitter.

Tweet me and let me know how it goes for ya. ‘K bye.

"Change..."

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek"-- BARACK OBAMA

(prior to the election)

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.

The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

After the election....

A Landslide Mandate For Change

A breakthrough election
Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!

We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.

The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and people’s unity.

There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.

The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

Change is Here, Change is Coming

Sam Webb, National Chair, Communist Party, USA:

Let me begin with a simple observation: If the last 30 years were an era of reaction, then the coming decade could turn into an era of reform, even radical reform. Six months into the Obama presidency, I would say without hesitation that the landscape, atmosphere, conversation, and agenda have strikingly changed compared to the previous eight years.

In this legislative session, we can envision winning a Medicare-like public option and then going further in the years ahead.

We can visualize passing tough regulatory reforms on the financial industry, which brought the economy to ruin.

We can imagine the troops coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan while U.S. representatives participate in a regional process that brings peace and stability to the entire region.

In the current political climate, the expansion of union rights becomes a real possibility.

Much the same can be said about winning a second stimulus bill, and we sure need one, given the still-rising rate, and likely long term persistence, of unemployment.

Isn’t it possible in the Obama era to create millions of green jobs in manufacturing and other sectors of the economy in tandem with an attack on global warming?

Can’t we envision taking new strides in the long journey for racial and gender equality in this new era, marked at its beginning by the election of the first African American to the presidency?

And isn’t the overhaul of the criminal justice and prison system – a system steeped in racism – no longer pie-in-the sky, but something that can be done in the foreseeable future?

All these things are within reach now!

Did’nt this guy attend the Restore the Sanity rally, or whatever he was called. I thought that rally fixed everything.

[I see my hands]

The right criticizing the left for what the right should be saying. Repugnance squared.

I’m disappointed!

I thought for SURE I’d find the word “glorious” somewhere in that sentence.

Commies just ain’t what they used to be

Just a talking head introducing a guy with a book ... who has some points but whatever.

Ratigan’s resume is not particularly impressive... NY...political economics...Bloomberg...

[TLI]

I went to the link. He said this live, on TV.

And he is not locked up?

Not in a straightjacket?

We really are the Land of the Free.

Too bad Mr. Radigan does not appreciate his freedom and thinks it needs "change."

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Starting with the folks at PMSNBC?

[Bitsy]

I think the left could be rolled over in a couple years of good old fashioned revolution.

As I said before, alligators love liberal leftists. Our Louisiana swamps would be full of fodder for those critters. Come on down you whinny cowards we’ll be waiting for you - been ready for years. You going to be in God and guns country and I wouldn’t mess with either one!

[WestTexasWend]

I was in college when the first mall opened. There were exotic birds in cages along the concourse, and a monkey who delighted in throwing his poop at passersby.

Some critters just can’t handle the spotlight.

(He was replaced with a toucan. May be worth a try, MSNBC.)

[achilles2000]

Leftists!....taste like chicken.

[Iron Munro]

BRING

IT

ON.....

[Michael Barnes]

Dylan, I'll reach out and touch one of you little shits at 500m. I'll even keep it sporting, I'll use only iron sights.

Better hunker down tight in those big cities of yours and leave me and my Constitution alone from now on.

Oh, and Happy Birthday to me (ooh rah!)

[PGR88]

Violent Revolution, eh?

Urban metrosexual journalists vs. most of the military and gun-loving conservatives.

Hmmmm.....

[ozzymandus]

FN-49 dittos! What caliber is yours? I have them in 8mm, 7mm, and .308 (Argentine conversion).

[Bitsy]

Leftists!....taste like chicken.

I’ve heard that - served with a good Chianti, sounds like a plan.

[ozzymandus]

Find pictures of Dylan Ratigan and Ted Rall. Ann Coulter could bang their heads together like coconuts like Moe did to Larry and Curly. Violent revolutionaries? Bed wetters!
