Will Ted Rall be listed by the Department of Homeland Security as a terrorist threat? And how 'bout MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan? What would have happened if Glenn Beck had gone on the air to advocate violence? MSNBC should be called "MS Anarchy."

Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft is among many to have caught cartoonist Ted Rall appearing on Dylan Ratigan's MSNBC show calling for violence against conservatives.  Which is to say, Rall was calling for violence against fellow citizens, and violence against America.   That was bad enough.  Even worse, as Big Journalism's John Sexton notes, Ratigan seemed to be at least agreeing with Rall, and was helping to promote Rall's book, The Anti-American Manifesto.

Here's what Rall said:

We are here because the U.S. is going to end soon. 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?…

A war is coming. At stake: our lives, the planet, freedom, living. The government, the corporations, and the extreme right are prepared to coalesce into an Axis of Evil. Are you going to fight back? Will you do whatever it takes, including taking up arms?…

The millions of partisans who follow Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and right-wing televangelists happen to be the best-armed people around, and they despise just about everyone who doesn’t think and pray like them. They will see collapse as affirmation of their beliefs that secular liberalism is destructive. They will also see it as an opportunity to create a new, ordered world atop the ashes. They will act to stop teenage sluts from getting abortions, teach n*ggers a lesson, and slaughter those spics, dots, and everyone else who doesn’t fit into their vision of what and who is right…

I want to kick people in the ass. To get them thinking. To get you thinking. I want you to understand the situation—your situation. I want you to see that revolt is a good idea, and that it has never been more necessary.

Maybe we should call MSNBC, instead, MS Anarchy.
