Ted Rall's cartoons and opinion pieces were all the rage when he was attacking George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and American soldiers.

I’d say they don’t want his Jr High doodles any more. It is the Left, after all. They’re keeper of all things trendy and fashionably and artistic. He’s bitter he’s “last season.”

Ted Rall is riding the Cindy Sheehan train.

I have new-found respect for Ted Rall. I disagree with his politics, but he is true to his principles.

Gee, I’m just all broke up. Guess that Hopenchange ain’t working out like Ted thought it would, eh?

Idiot lib...

RALL is just a leftist psychopath with a pencil. Nothing more. Unfortunately for him, Dur Sturmer and Pravda aren’t hiring.

"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."

TRANSLATION: "I agree with you, but I'm too interested in keeping my dying media production turning a profit (a "fair" profit, naturally) to actually stand on principle."

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

TRANSLATION: "It's only censorship when the righties tell you you can't do something."

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

TRANSLATION: "Hi, I'm the personification of white, liberal guilt. You racist!

Pol Pot had strongly-held principles as well.

The ONLY thing I agree with Ted Rall on is he hates CFLs. He even said: “I don’t care if the ocean BOILS, I hate those damned compact fluorescent lights”

Maybe it’ll make him a believer for our side.

Some here speculate Ted might cross over to our side.

But if so, what good is there for us in claiming him?

We ought to require he take some drawing classes first.

I have yet to see any of this guy’s “anti-Obama” stuff (nor any of his other stuff for that matter), but I’ll bet he’s criticizing Obama from the Left, i.e., for being too conservative.

Ordinarily you need talent and a sense of humour to be a political cartoonist. Unless you are exclusively leftist, that is.
