Soldier-slandering, Radical Left-wing Cartoonist (Ted) Rall Laid Off
NewsBusters ^ | April 24, 2009 | Ken Shepherd

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.

Just looking at the figures in the above cartoon, Rall was not only a smack-off, he was a talentless smack-off.

Agreed, It's quite pleasing to see turds spiral into the depths of the porcelain bowl of life accelerate!

Never could understand how he got onto KFI.

Bet the little pussy couldn’t say jack about Obama.

Those so-called “independent” or “underground” cartoonist like him are nothing but a bunch of left-wing sellouts, cowards, and frauds.

There’s a position open at my range. Ted would make a great target holder.

I remember several years ago when a bunch of us complained to Men’s Health and got his garbage pulled from that magazine. This is even sweeter.

Does he receive pay as President of the cartoonists? Benefits he can draw on when he’s unemployed?

He’s an admitted anarchist. And one who loves Obama so far (according to a british article posted recently)

From Ted's Blog: If you need a cartoonist, a writer, or an editor,
or anything else, please drop me a line. I need work, and fast.

10 years or so ago, I think it was Rahl, said in an interview in the Funny Times something to the effect of

“I’m sorry about the maid, but I have no trouble with the forestry executive” in a reference to those killed by the Unibomber.

He’s an editorial cartonist, his medium is paper...where do you think that might come from?. What an embicile!

That was the last time Funny Times got my money.

But without medical coverage, who will pay to remove his coal-black spleen?

There are very, very few people in the world whom I would actually wish pain and disease on. Rall is one of them. I’m not sure there is anyone more vile on the planet.

I’d love to meet him some day.

...maybe you can get a job in the Obama Yout Propaganda department, yout fit right in....

There's precedent for that. Roosevelt's WPA hired scores of laid-off writers (imagine for a moment how many were not sympathetic to FDR).

They were employed writing travel brochures to places like Upper East Bumf*** Heights and cultural guides to Lower West Bumf*** Valley.
