But Rall is a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist, and I am saddened by the New York Times' decision to withdraw the cartoon, merely because the paper disagreed with its content or feared further backlash from readers -- backlash which could injure the paper's reputation...my support for freedom of the press, however, does not apply to Fisher, because he crossed the line between constructive criticism and disrespect.

Here's the crux of this idiot's aurguement-it's ok for a pulitzer prize winner to offend, but not joe blow college newspaper writer.

Does freedom of the press include "islam sucks"? You're f!@#in' a right is does.

I can't beleive that Ted "the unfunny cartoonist" Rall had won a Pulitzer Prize. I went to the Pulitzer Prize website to search, but their database is on the fritz. They say check back later.
