GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING: MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan invites guest to advocate violent revolution

GLOBALPOLITICAL
It's not often that you see liberals calling for violence but that is exactly what appears to have happened Monday on a left-leaning cable network.

MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan drew the ire of conservatives after he asked political cartoonist Ted Rall to explain why a violent revolution is necessary.

While Ratigan didn't go so far as to call for violence himself, he opened the segment by putting the idea in the minds of his viewers. "Are things in our country so bad that it might actually be time for a revolution?" Ratigan asked. "The answer obviously is yes. The only question is how to do it?"

Rall joined Ratigan to discuss his new book The Anti-American Manifesto which makes the case for revolution.

"We are here because the US is going to end soon," Rall wrote in his book. "There's going to be an intense, violent, probably haphazard struggle for control. It's going to come down to us versus them. The question is: What are you going to do about it?"
