Stifling Liberal Dissent Under Obama
NEW YORK--After they called the presidency for Obama, emails poured in. "You must be relieved now that the Democrats are taking over," an old college buddy told me. "There will be less pressure on you."
That would have been nice.
In the late 1990s my cartoons ran in Time, Fortune and Bloomberg Personal magazines and over 100 daily and alternative weekly newspapers. I was a staff writer for two major magazines.
Then Bush came in. And 9/11 happened.
The media gorged on an orgy of psychotic right-wing rhetoric. Flags everywhere. Torture suddenly OK. In a nation where mainstream political discourse was redefined between Dick Cheney on the right and libertarian Bill Maher on the not-as-right, there wasn't any room in the paper for a left-of-center cartoonist. My business was savaged. Income plunged.

Even a radical Commie Pinko like Ted is upset with the loser in the WH. You cannot tell me the base is going to be as excited as in '08. Obummer has a record that even turns Lib Rats off.

He’s lying right through his teeth. He will always be a Commie Pinko.

From reading him whine, he seems to think of himself as obscure already because the world is so mean towards him.

Ted Rall describing himself as a left-of-center cartoonist is like Josef Stalin describing himself as a democratically inclined Scandinavian socialist.

After his smearing of just about everyone post-9/11, I think the only place you can view Teddy’s artwork now is on his Mom’s refrigerator.

Obama lost me before Inauguration Day, when he announced cabinet appointments that didn't include a single liberal. Wow, that there's some serious mental retardation.

Desperate and going broke, I called an editor who'd given me lots of work at the magazines he ran during the 1990s. "Sorry, dude, I can't help," he replied. "You're radioactive." Oh, I just assumed he was dead since I haven't hear of him in a decade. Want some cheese with that whine, Ted?

The thrill is gone... no miracles, no levitation, no free mortgages, no quieting of the right, only higher taxes, higher gas prices, higher unemployment, and a constant party in the white house as though none of this mattered. Must be hell to be a pinko liberal right about now.

Ted Rall is the contemptible devolved state of man that was long ago predicted.
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful." C.S. Lewis
Rall is the by-product of a crumbling leftist culture. If there's any justice in the world, he'll live long enough to choose between dying for his liberal beliefs, or bending his knee to the sword of Islam.
It may not be witnessed, but when his knee bends, and bend it will, we'll be there in spirit.
