Radical left-wing cartoonist Ted Rall -- who reveled in dismissing American servicemen as "idiots" -- was recently laid off. Editor & Publisher reported the story in an April 22 article:
NEW YORK Chalk up one more wildly talented cartoonist to be victimized by the economy.“I’ve been laid off,” reads the headline on the blog of cartoonist Ted Rall, president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists. Rall, an editorial cartoonist for Universal Press Syndicate, has served as editor of acquisitions and development at United Media for the past two years.
“My job was finding new talent -- comic strip artists, columnists and writers of puzzles -- to syndicate to newspapers,” Rall writes on his blog. “Considering the circumstances, I enjoyed remarkable success. ... I am proud of what I accomplished.”
Rall may be virtually alone when it comes to taking pride in his work. Not content to keep his Hitler comparisons to elected politicians like George W. Bush or Dick Cheney, Rall often spilled his venom on the likes of American servicemen and 9/11 widows. In one of his most infamous drawings, he compared U.S. soldiers to Islamist suicide bombers:
Ironically, last year Rall said the country's direction, including a souring economy, was "good news" for him.
Ted Rall is one of the worst Libtards in the business. It breaks my heart to see him burned by a tanking MSM coupled with Obamanomics.
Maybe he’ll get a job in the pentagon.
Was there a political litmus test as to who would get hired?
There’s a position open at my range. Ted would make a great target holder.
a bit of good news amidst very dark times. Thanks for cheering me up before the weekend!
BuhBye Tedd!
Wow, this just breaks my heart.
Hey Ted, maybe you can get a job in the
Obama Yout Propaganda department, yout
fit right in.
Bwhahahahahah.
MSNBC will snatch him up.
Maybe Queen Ted will become the next press secretary when it’s time to throw Robert Gibbs under the bus.
For this one, a schadenfreude bump to the Front Page sidebar is in order. This just made my weekend.
I hope you are a poor shot!
I have a new Sig .40 that I haven't figured out yet, he could help me!
As a cartoonist myself - I’ve always hated this wad. His pain sets me free!
Ted Rall: an ***azzhole*** with arms ....
Poetic justice for the likes of Ted Rall would require his presence at the next Ground Zero at the moment of impact. I know it is uncharitable of me to think in that manner. So: people who hate this country do not deserve its blessings. I wish he would leave.
Careful, he could soon be Senator Raul.
Thank heaven!
Oh dear merciful God, thank you for the many blessings you bestow upon us...
I thought you would enjoy this post.
Just looking at the figures in the above cartoon, Rall was not only a smack-off, he was a talentless smack-off.
Never could understand how he got onto KFI.

Bet the little pussy couldn’t say jack about Obama.
Those so-called “independent” or “underground” cartoonist like him are nothing but a bunch of left-wing sellouts, cowards, and frauds.

You're kidding, aren't you? That would be just plain stupid, holding a target down range from a bunch of guys with guns. Why would you want him to do that? I mean, isn't that dangerous? He could get.......oh, ok....never mind.
I remember several years ago when a bunch of us complained to Men’s Health and got his garbage pulled from that magazine. This is even sweeter.
Now THAT'S some hope and change!!!
BUWAHAHAHA.
(I bet he cried.)
Does he receive pay as President of the cartoonists? Benefits he can draw on when he’s unemployed?
He’s an admitted anarchist. And one who loves Obama so far (according to a british article posted recently)
From Ted's Blog: If you need a cartoonist, a writer, or an editor,
or anything else, please drop me a line. I need work, and fast.
10 years or so ago, I think it was Rahl, said in an interview in the Funny Times something to the effect of
“I’m sorry about the maid, but I have no trouble with the forestry executive” in a reference to those killed by the Unibomber.
He’s an editorial cartonist, his medium is paper...where do you think that might come from?. What an embicile!
That was the last time Funny Times got my money.
I never saw that cartoon before today. What a jerk.
But without medical coverage, who will pay to remove his coal-black spleen?
There are very, very few people in the world whom I would actually wish pain and disease on. Rall is one of them. I’m not sure there is anyone more vile on the planet.
I’d love to meet him some day.
There's precedent for that. Roosevelt's WPA hired scores of laid-off writers (imagine for a moment how many were not sympathetic to FDR).
They were employed writing travel brochures to places like Upper East Bumf*** Heights and cultural guides to Lower West Bumf*** Valley.
He makes Perez Hilton look like the Brawny lumberjack.
Oh how I would love to beyotch slap this libtard.
His syndicate couldn’t bear the risk of him insulting Obama’s America as he had Boosh for 8 years.
He did support impeachment of Bill Clinton for perjury. But he was already upset that Clinton wasn’t far left enough for him.
(wash post syndicated, so gotta link)
This is great news. Rall makes Michael Moore look like a genteel moderate. I remember seeing him on Hannity and Colmes after Reagan died. He was saying that Reagan was now turning a crispy brown because of how he handled the AIDS crisis. Rall is as vile and disgusting as they come.
He’s the modern equivalent of Lord Haw Haw and Axis Sally. A propagandist for the enemy.
Perhaps if he was taking them to task as well, his points might make more “sense”. He’s one sided against Uncle Sam.
Anything the spurs the Jihadists to commit acts of Islamonazism are clearly OUR fault.
Ted Rall was envisioning Reagan burning in Hell. Just pure insult when you consider that Rall is a proud atheist.
Karma bites sometimes doesn’t it?
Let’s hope we see him soon picking up trash on the side of the road.
For free.
You’re right: comparing The Great, Old Toothless Ones to the thing called Ted Rall isn’t at all fair ....
I apologize to all stinking wrecked-`ems!
Quite Honestly I have done better cartoons on the walls of bathroom stalls than Ted Rall.
Until I had my hand smashed by a transmission.
