Leftist Wackjob Ted Rall – “The Rise Of The Obamabots”

Does anyone really need anymore proof that the MSM is carrying the water for Obama?

If so, take a gander at the recent article penned by none other than the far left wackjob Ted Rall:

It was tempting, when Obama's Democrats swept into office in 2008, to think that the bad old days were coming to an end. I wasn't looking for any favors, just a swing of the political pendulum back to the Clinton years when it was still OK to be a liberal.

This, you have no doubt correctly guessed, is the part where I tell you I was wrong.

I didn't count on the cult of personality around Barack Obama.

I didn't realize how besotted progressives were by Mr. Hopey Changey.

I've heard that from enough "liberal" websites and print publications to consider it a significant trend.

A sample of recent rejections, each from editors at different left-of-center media outlets:

· "I am familiar with and enjoy your cartoons. However the readers of our site would not be comfortable with your (admittedly on point) criticism of Obama."

· "Don't be such a hater on O and we could use your stuff. Can't you focus more on the GOP?"

· "Our first African-American president deserves a chance to clean up Bush's mess without being attacked by us."

I have many more like that.

Glenn Reynolds linked to his article with the perfect one-liner:

Ahh. Another liberal gets that annoying cognitive dissonance thing.

So things aren’t what you thought? You mean it’s all just lies to further certain agendas, and it’s not all about unicorns sh***ing skittles and care bears dancing around rainbows?

The hell you say.

Even a blind pig finds an acorn on occasion - Rall, being a total scumbag, took a bit longer.

Not only is Rall a lousy at best "cartoonist", he's a liberal looney toon who consumed a fatal dose of the KOOK Aid.

It is funny, however, watching the moonbats finally come to the realization that their 'messiah' is in reality just another utterly unqualified and criminally naive affirmative action hire f'up.

Too little, too late. Rall voted for him...now all suffer.

Ted Rall has got to be one of the angriest, most bitter, and least funny cartoonists ever.

[ozzymandus]

The revealing part is that the leftie editors are urging Rall to go back to smearing Bush and Cheney and stabbing American servicemen in the back with his poison pen.

They won’t allow their own ox to be gored, but his slanders against America are fine.

Mad Magazine had some pretty good satire in it even if it tilted mostly to the Left. When I found Ted was drawing political cartoons for it, I never picked up another one.

Ted is an angry full blown communist would think the world a better place if everybody over a certain income was taken out back, shot, and create a marxist utopia

To Ted: Lifes a bitch, bitch

LOL, I read this piece and I was very torn.

First of all I must say I hope Ted Rall starves to death.

But yet, but yet, I really liked the part where he said he was sure he was smarter that Obama. Good on ya Ted for that.

OK, maybe it’s OK with me if he finds a soup kitchen somewhere.
