"The analogy obviously fell flat, or overshadowed the main point of the cartoon," Rall said of his Nov. 4 drawing. "More importantly, I forgot the editorial cartoonist's obligation to comfort the afflicted while afflicting the comfortable. I got the latter in that cartoon at the expense of the former. Special-needs children face a lot of challenges; they don't need, or deserve, mocking from me. ... The cartoon was effective in its way, but it could have been better."
Depicting 51% of the American electorate as imbeciles was not regrettable. The objectiable part of the cartoon was "mocking" the "special-needs" children.

Good. I wish they had dropped him out of the window of a very tall building, instead.

Washington Post and FR have something in common.

Who woulda thunk it?

We shouldn't be happy about this.

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

Ted Rall creates Republican voters because he is unable to modulate or mask the vileness seething inside him.

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

They might never have noticed that Rall has no brains, but they finally realized that he has no class.

It's hard to believe that anyone (even Ted Rall) would be too liberal for the Washington Post.

He's not even an artist. He is the World's worst cartoon drawer. His cartoons look like a 3rd grader drew them.

And his writing is not much better.

WashingtonPost.com is no longer running the cartoons of hard-hitting liberal Ted Rall.

Hard hitting? The guy is a venom filled liberal.

Ted Rall is actually a pretty good representative of liberal thinking. I'm sure he'll find many outlets for his "drawings" in the future. There's a big market for those who encourage the death of American soldiers, and for those who mock a hero who was killed in action.

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

Wait for the screams of "censorship!" start. But this is the difference between us and the people Bush is keeping Rall safe from: in Amsterdam, Theo Van Gogh was slaughtered by those he offended. Here, you simply lose your patronage.
