Rall on the Berg Beheading (Yet another idiot heard from)

Patterico's Pontifications ^ | 5.12.04

It didn't take long for Ted Rall to weigh in with a predictably boneheaded comment on the beheading of Nicholas Berg. Rall quotes -- and mocks -- Bush Administration pronouncements on the Abu Ghraib scandal and the beheading of Berg. Rall then argues that if the beheading says anything about the true nature of the terrorists, then the Abu Ghraib scandal says something about the true nature of the American people. In Rall's twisted view, any contrary opinion reflects "cognitive dissonance."

Here is the beginning of Rall's post:

Cognitive Dissonance

"I share a deep disgust that those prisoners were treated the way they were treated. Their treatment does not reflect the nature of the American people."
—George W. Bush, May 4

"[The beheading of Nick Berg] shows the true nature of the enemies of freedom. They have no regard for the lives of innocent men, women and children."
—White House spokesman Scott McClellan, May 11

When we commit crimes, in other words, they're aberrations. When they commit them, they reveal exactly who they are and what they're about.

There I go again, talking treason!

No, Ted, this time you're just talking stupid.

By the way, Teddy-Boy is encouraging his readership to write MSNBC to support him. Accordingly, I am encouraging my readership to write MSNBC to denounce him.

No threats. Let's demonstrate the true nature of the American people. Feel free to express your revulsion for his hateful ideas -- but do so in a civil and nonthreatening manner.

The Left and the DNC is full of characters like Rall.
They themselves, are for the most part - sorry pieces of $hit - that couldn't carry their own water in a crises...

Folks like Rall, rely upon an infrastructure conceived, built, maintained by others, and defended by an umbrella of warriors that protect HIS right to be a sorry assed lying insulting traitorous a$$hole..

But I console myself -- KNOWING that someone is "keeping a list - and checking it twice" --- gonna make sure who's naughty or nice ----- and arranging a date in the future with the obnoxious Mr. Rall...
Rangers are patient....they MAY wait YEARS...
Then again, they may not! They employ and enjoy "mind games"......

His 15 minutes of fame is derived from insulting a dead American warrior.....
That is about the limit of Mr. Rall's courage...

But - Mr. Ralls is clearly stupid in addition to being an a$$hole...
He couldn't possibly know that some folks have FRIENDS...
FRIENDS that take offense at their DEAD brother being insulted by a worthless cowardly piece of $hit...
Because folks like Mr. Ral will NEVER earn a friend that will go to the wall for HIM.......

I FULLY expect to hear of Mr. Ralls meeting with some unfortunate situation in the future....

Oh, Mr. Rall --- a coward like you shouln't be picking on a dude that has friends that can maim or kill in so many ways -- and from great distance if necessary...

Stupid ba$tard!

MODERATOR -- I know I've been warned, but this is a clean as this old salt can get on this subject....Please cut me some slack...

I eagerly await Mr. Rall's "new look" after the Rangers meet up with him.

Rall was on H&C last week defending himself. Sean Hannity lit into him pretty good to which he responded, "who are you to judge me?" The guy is a real piece of work.

[Travis McGee]

I think he's a coldly cynical POS who has a fast-track plan to launch himself up to the level of Michael Moore and Al Franken. He's selling a book, and wants to get on TV.

[DaBroasta]

The guy is a real piece of work.

I respectfully disagree with your assessment--he's a real piece of sh!t.
