Radical left-wing cartoonist Ted Rall -- who reveled in dismissing American servicemen as "idiots" -- was recently laid off. Editor & Publisher reported the story in an April 22 article:
NEW YORK Chalk up one more wildly talented cartoonist to be victimized by the economy.“I’ve been laid off,” reads the headline on the blog of cartoonist Ted Rall, president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists. Rall, an editorial cartoonist for Universal Press Syndicate, has served as editor of acquisitions and development at United Media for the past two years.
“My job was finding new talent -- comic strip artists, columnists and writers of puzzles -- to syndicate to newspapers,” Rall writes on his blog. “Considering the circumstances, I enjoyed remarkable success. ... I am proud of what I accomplished.”
Rall may be virtually alone when it comes to taking pride in his work. Not content to keep his Hitler comparisons to elected politicians like George W. Bush or Dick Cheney, Rall often spilled his venom on the likes of American servicemen and 9/11 widows. In one of his most infamous drawings, he compared U.S. soldiers to Islamist suicide bombers:
Ironically, last year Rall said the country's direction, including a souring economy, was "good news" for him.
Ted Rall is one of the worst Libtards in the business. It breaks my heart to see him burned by a tanking MSM coupled with Obamanomics.
Maybe he’ll get a job in the pentagon.
Was there a political litmus test as to who would get hired?
There’s a position open at my range. Ted would make a great target holder.
a bit of good news amidst very dark times. Thanks for cheering me up before the weekend!
BuhBye Tedd!
Wow, this just breaks my heart.
Hey Ted, maybe you can get a job in the
Obama Yout Propaganda department, yout
fit right in.
Bwhahahahahah.
MSNBC will snatch him up.
Maybe Queen Ted will become the next press secretary when it’s time to throw Robert Gibbs under the bus.
For this one, a schadenfreude bump to the Front Page sidebar is in order. This just made my weekend.
I hope you are a poor shot!
I have a new Sig .40 that I haven't figured out yet, he could help me!
As a cartoonist myself - I’ve always hated this wad. His pain sets me free!
Ted Rall: an ***azzhole*** with arms ....
Poetic justice for the likes of Ted Rall would require his presence at the next Ground Zero at the moment of impact. I know it is uncharitable of me to think in that manner. So: people who hate this country do not deserve its blessings. I wish he would leave.
Careful, he could soon be Senator Raul.
Thank heaven!
Oh dear merciful God, thank you for the many blessings you bestow upon us...
