'Cartoonist' Ted Rall's Latest Cry for Help

Disturbed cartoonist Ted Rall, undoubtedly eager to follow up his hilarious Terror Widows comic with more laughs served up at the expense of people wracked with grief, produces another gem in the April issue of Gear magazine. Mr. Rall didn't really need to do more to convince us that he hates American culture and sees only hypocrisy and opportunism in our grief and patriotism, but maybe he wanted to make extra sure that we knew. This one portrays the New York firefighters as money-grubbing scum, and ridicules the generosity of their supporters:

Another heapin' helpin' of flaming dog doo from the cranium of Ted Rall. These two panel come from a 5-panel piece in the April issue of 'Gear' magazine. The other 3 panels are no better - for a full description go to The Weekly James under the aptly titled piece, "What An Asshole."

If this isn't enough to convince you that Rall is the most pathetic font of hate in Western media, check out his latest piece at New York Times on the Web Cartoons

But, as Glen Reynolds of Instapundit so succinctly puts it, "Sorry Ted...now sink back into well-deserved obscurity. You're not even offensive anymore, just pathetically contemptible."

Still, if you'd like to see another cartoonist serve Rall's head up on a platter, read Jim Treacher's hilarious evisceration of Ted Rall.

Rall's work has always been ludicrous.

What I don't understand is why it has gotten play in ostensibly major magazines and journals over the years.

Who's idiot nephew is he?

[dighton]

Quit trying to change the subject! The point is, Rall is fighting the REAL enemy ... People who get more attention than him!

[Clara Lou]

Rall should be ridiculed by everyone who sees his work. I pity him.

What I don't understand is why it has gotten play in ostensibly major magazines and journals over the years.

Because he hates the conservative right. That's all. He give the American-hating, Marxist left what they want.

[wimpycat]

I hope he doesn't need the services of a New York cop or firefighter anytime soon.

Ted Rall...the poor man's Tom Tomorrow.

[w_over_w]

Two words . . .emotionally retarded.

He's a favorite of Pinch "Kill the American" Sulzberger, publisher of the NY Times.

The most ironic thing you will ever see

Who's idiot nephew is he?

You, sir, just named it! This guy is just NOT FUNNY! His drawing skills are pitiful,
and there just is NO humor in his work. It's gotta be a case of Nepotism at work.

I saw O'Reilly grilling him, and he never let the smirk leave his face
while he squirmed trying to defend himself.

I particularly like the third panel -

Never Mind the Bollocks
The Sex Pistols

Track 3 - No feelings
Track 4 - Liar

I like this guy. Anybody that can rip up Rall with a Sex Pistols analogy is OK in my book.

The enemy is at home!

[EggsAckley]

Treacher is SERIOUSLY FUNNY!! Thanks for giving us that.

[Registered]

bump.

[RichInOC]

Wow...no kidding. Cousins?

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

I look forward to the time when liberals will be hearded like the savage humans in the Planet of the Apes Movies. I would say give Rall a lobotomy, but it appears it's already too late.

My first thought was "bad as Tom Tomorrow".
