RATigan vs. Alterman

[JamesA1102]

I've been reading and following the work of Eric Alterman for 10 years and he has a lot of credibility with me. Self-described conservative Dylan RATigan playing populist, not so much.

It was interesting to see them debate today on RATigan's show. RATigan carries water for the GOP. trying to blame everything on President Obama. Alterman correctly points out that it is the system which is the cause of most problems.

1. Check out "Radio Free Dylan" for incredible interviews...Commercial Free

http://www.dylanratigan.com/2011/01/13/william-greider-the-end-of-new-deal-liberalism-on-radio-free-dylan/ Plus Other Incredible Interviews with Power Players on Wall St. and Progressives and others in the Political Arena.

His interview with William Greider is an incredible listen.

I've been a fan of Eric Alterman :loveya: for over a decade...(His New Book is Out and called "Kabuki Democracy," ....but, I also am a fan of Dylan Ratigan.

Eric has excellent articles at the Nation.com...and Dylan's after hours site: http://www.dylanratigan.com/2011/01/13/william-greider-the-end-of-new-deal-liberalism-on-radio-free-dylan/ is worth a look for DU'ers looking for something different ONLINE.

Check it out and let me know what you think about it....Please! And don't forget to go to the Nation.com to check out "Kabuki Democracy." Or, you can Google it for reviews if Amazon has it.

Regards.

He let's tea partiers come on and never challenges their BS. Sorry, but I just don't trust him.
