While interviewing (really badgering) Mark Williams of the Tea Party Express, outrageously Ratigan attempted to portray the bus tour as a far right hate group supportive of the killing of blacks and Jews. Well then, what the heck am I doing on the Tea Party Express tour bus? Did I miss the "People We Hate" memo? Or perhaps, the organizers hid that memo from me and other blacks on the tour.
Left wing fanatics such as Ratigan have no shame. Incredibly they will throw the innocent Tea Party patriots under the bus in defense of Obama and his far left radical agenda.
I have traveled across America two times on Tea Party Express tours one and two. It truly angers me to see the wonderful, hard working, decent and color blind white patriots whom I have met at the tea parties trashed, called Nazis and racists simply because they oppose the out of control Obama administration.
Ironically, the true character of the tea parties is the opposite of the media's portrayal of them. In Texas, a white cowboy at a tea party approached me pushing a stroller with two black babies he and his wife who is also white recently adopted from Africa. The cowboy said they asked God to give them babies who needed their love the most. The excited dad proudly proclaimed, "Next week they will become U.S. citizens".
I can't remember the state where the tea party was held, but I was surrounded by an extremely excited white family of two parents and 15 kids (all home schooled). They were fans of my articles and music. We took several pictures and chatted about values. It was a wonderful exchange.
At another tea party at a rodeo arena, again I can not recall the state, a big man well over six feet wearing a big straw hat and a ZZ Top style beard gave me a bear hug with his vice grip huge arms. Relieved that he liked me, the gentle giant conveyed his gratitude for all I was doing for our country. He pulled up one leg of his bib jeans to reveal his wooden leg. He said, "If Obama care passes, I may have to carve my next new leg". I really appreciate what you are doing brother".
During my travels on the Tea Party Express tours, I was showered with affection, given sentimental gifts and homemade brownies from the folks reported as racist by the liberal media. In Nevada, a small business owner offered me free dry cleaning for life. While I appreciated her extremely generous and sincere offer, shipping my laundry from my home in Florida could be a bit expensive.
At a number of tea parties across America, I saw signs which read, "Lloyd Marcus for President!" But how could this be? Jeannine Garafolo said the tea party movement is really about white racists not wanting a black president.
When our tour bus door opened in Memphis, TN, we were greeted by a white woman with a huge tray of bar-b-que spare ribs. She also brought baked beans and cornbread which she had prepared especially for us, an interracial team of performers and speakers. Is this the behavior of members of an angry racist mob? By the way, her spare ribs were outstanding. A close second to my mom's.
The greatest proof the tea parties are not racist gatherings is the overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic response to my signature opening comment. "Hello my fellow patriots. I am NOT an African American! I am Lloyd Marcus, AMERICAN!" The crowds go wild with cheers and even some tears. These patriots flock to me expressing great gratitude for my stand not to be hyphenated. Countless times I have heard, "Hyphenating divides us. We wish to be Americans".
So there you have it Mr. Ratigan. Do these people sound like an angry racist hate filled mob supportive of the killing of blacks and Jews? I submit that you know they are not.
Folks, I take the liberal media's accusation of racism against my fellow patriots who are white extremely personal. We patriots share a kinship through our love for our country. We are family. And you don't allow people to dis your family.
March 27th in Searchlight, NV we launch Tea Party Express Tour III. For me, the rallies are family reunions. I can't wait to see you.
Ratigan will need to see a psychiatrist after Election Day in November. They all will need to see a psychiatrist.
That’s desperately all they got . . and they know it
Are these attacks on the Tea Party a result of the Clinton/Clinton machine?
They keep trying to minimize the Tea Party...Let them keep trying. It just reenforces our commitment and brings more people into the group...
Dont count the votes yet I truley believe there are Shenanigans in the works... And I mean big time voter intimidation and ever violence... Thats just me though....
Ratigan is the worst kind of whore. Sometimes he almost sounds normal, but apparently, he will spew this garbage to keep his paycheck coming at MSNBC.
I saw some of the youtube of this, and it’s completely over the top with absolutely no basis in reality. Ratigan says something to the effect: “If I’m a tea partier and I say I want to kill blacks or kill jews...”
Where in the heck does that come from? Clearly in the mind of the MSNBC staff, tea party = skinheads.
Disgusting.
Barry was leading the charge against talk radio, Barry is leading this too; he realizes that he is toast if the TEA PARTY MOVEMENT gets legs. Sorry Barry, it's already too big, in fact if the health care reconciliation gamble fails, even the media won't be able to cover for the anti-Americans in the White House.
We all know the truth about Barry's extreme leftist agenda but Americans are controlled by the media, they control in some part what you think but it's all coming apart.
Who is this Ratigan? I never heard of him.
FDR and his minions attacked the ‘Sons of Liberty’ who were fighting the New Deal. Now, we are the targets because we are fighting the Progressives’ ‘new’ New Deal.
How can you persuade someone to fight for their freedom when they only know how to enjoy it?
Once Freedom is lost, it’s nearly impossible to regain.
I feel sorry for those willing to give it up so easily.
The response of the media to the Tea Parties illustrates just how terrified the MSM and the Democrats, of course including Obama, are of the movement. I was very irritated when O’Reilly (the fair and balanced guy) did a hatchet job on Tea Party people.
He claimed that 10% of the people involved were right wing extremists and mentiond “militias” as an example. I Emailed him to ask for his figures. I pointed out that before he could come up with a percentage he had to have a number to start with.
I wanted to know how he, or anyone else could know how many people are involved in a movement that has people joining every day and has no central governing apparatus to begin with. Of course O’Reilly has no answer.
In fact he is a fraud. He is not fair and balanced. He is sneaky and he goes to great lengths to let people know that he is not a conservative. I have to ask myself whose music he is dancing to when he attaks the Tea Party movement.
I wonder if Nazi Pelosi(our lastest self proclaimed Tea party member) has called him to complain? heh
>>”...there are Shenanigans in the works... And I mean big time voter intimidation and even violence... Thats just me though....”<<
That’s not just you ,dad. I feel the same. The Socialist Democratic Party/Marxists are scared and will do anything to disrupt our TEA Parties.
It’s going to be an interesting summer.
Keep up the good work. Looking forward to talking to you again on Tea Party Express Tour III.
Thank you!
Dylan RATigan is a smarmy, pompous, hateful, deceitful, angry, know-it-all, elitist, liberal ASSHOLE. He thinks he is the smartest guy in the room. He is an ignorant, nasty, ill-tempered, humorless scumbag. He is a waste of space.
Other than that, he is a great guy.

Over here.
Ratigan seemed to be well informed about the stock market. Too bad he drank the progressive-communist koolaid.
Ratigan has broken many Econocon hearts. They thought he was a good guy.
