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.Ive 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.
Oh how I would love to beyotch slap this libtard.
His syndicate couldn’t bear the risk of him insulting Obama’s America as he had Boosh for 8 years.
He did support impeachment of Bill Clinton for perjury. But he was already upset that Clinton wasn’t far left enough for him.
(wash post syndicated, so gotta link)
This is great news. Rall makes Michael Moore look like a genteel moderate. I remember seeing him on Hannity and Colmes after Reagan died. He was saying that Reagan was now turning a crispy brown because of how he handled the AIDS crisis. Rall is as vile and disgusting as they come.
He’s the modern equivalent of Lord Haw Haw and Axis Sally. A propagandist for the enemy.
Perhaps if he was taking them to task as well, his points might make more “sense”. He’s one sided against Uncle Sam.
Anything the spurs the Jihadists to commit acts of Islamonazism are clearly OUR fault.
Ted Rall was envisioning Reagan burning in Hell. Just pure insult when you consider that Rall is a proud atheist.
Karma bites sometimes doesn’t it?
Let’s hope we see him soon picking up trash on the side of the road.
For free.
You’re right: comparing The Great, Old Toothless Ones to the thing called Ted Rall isn’t at all fair ....
I apologize to all stinking wrecked-`ems!
Quite Honestly I have done better cartoons on the walls of bathroom stalls than Ted Rall.
Until I had my hand smashed by a transmission.
Laid off or fired? I understand that some newspapers have been actually reconsidering editorial policies, examined in the glare of shrinking income. Do you suppose little Teddy got cut because he cost the paper too many ads?
Sometimes there are people whose misfortune does not bring tears.
He will surely be next in line for Press Secretary.
This Leftist idiot who believes he is Howard Stern behind a pencil, will get what he has coming, which is in direct proportion to what he has contributed to his country.
Absolutely NOTHING.
Good riddance. I’ll never forget the way he treated Pat Tillman in his nasty little cartoon strip. I’d call him pond scum, but I could never insult pond scum that way.
Bye bye you farking libturd.
Door... ass... way out.
What were you doing with a transmission in a bathroom stall?
Why was he hired in the first place? It can’t be intelligence or humor. Must be political orientation.
Whooot!!!!!
What a piece of garbage, I knew he was bad, but that cartoon is disgusting.
