But Rall's work is another matter .. he IS most definitely 'over the line' and very racist. THAT would get unbelievable response from the Dem's if he was pointed at them, in that I agree.

This guy is still due a beating from Army Rangers over the cheap shot he took at Pat Tillman earlier in the year.

As much as we would all truly love to see that, the Rangers are too fine a bunch of people to even be in the same room with Ted Rall.

Pat Oliphant is an idiot, but he sure does have an artistic gift.

Washington Post has standards?

No. Their sack of bullsh&t was so full they had to leave one turd behind.

I'm tired of these mindless liberals acting like they're God's gift to the world.Ted Rall draws cartoon characters and thinks that it somehow makes him a genius.I guess the majority of people have enough intelligence to figure out that Rall is a jerk off with no talent.

IMO, rall is a cartoonist of hate. Maybe he did not start out that way, maybe he was only a silly little liberal at first... But, he should face hate crime charges for his work in recent years, and so should all the publishers and editors who printed rall's works of insult.

IIRC, rall also did a rude and crude cartoon ridiculing the 911 family members soon after 911.

The Tillman cartoon -- after the soldier's honorable and brave death -- was absolutely the most despicable crap I had ever seen published in a DC newspaper.

I am glad to know that harder times have fallen upon rall; good riddance to him. I hope other newspapers follow suit...

I have to disagree about the artist part. He draws GWB with a huge nose, and Condi Rice with huge protruding lips.

"That cartoon certainly drew a significant amount of negative comment from our users," said WashingtonPost.com Executive Editor Doug Feaver when contacted by E&P.

Users? Is that what he thinks of his readers?

But he added that the decision to drop Rall was a "cumulative" one that had been building for a while.

But, it was okay to run them before the election. We'll drop him now that we lost.

I don't want to be a Matchmaker, but I believe that we have a legitimate marriage match here: Ted Rall and Maureen Dowd. I know that Maureen's ovaries are sending her a message so this is good time for her to get it on with a like minded kindred spirit.

Think of the possibilities. Helen Thomas, Bridesmaid and Michael Moore, Best Man. Entertainment by Elton John. OK Michael Moore can cater it too. We will have the world's largest wedding cake made out of Twinkies and HoHos.

The possibilities are endless.

Rall is an assclown. He's like the kid who would throw a rock at you, then run in his mommy's house and lock the door.

He throws factually inaccurate, slanderous drawings out at conservatives and hides behind the First Amendment and thinks he's just smart as hell. No facts, just rhetoric. What a pu**y. Good riddance.

Here is the offending cartoon:

The subject matter was obvioulsy a self portrait.

BTW. Was that cartoon intended to be funny? I didn't get it at all.

I don't think it was intended to be funny except to people like Ted Rall who think Bush voters are mentally challenged and drooling. We'll have to put up with this crap for the next 4 years.

>>The WP is dropping him because they realize that his vitriol discredits their cause and energizes conservatives.<<

I honestly don't think they're that bright. They are dropping him because they know few people read it, and they won't lose circulation or ad revenue by dropping him, but they might if they keep him.
