MSNBC.com pulled a cartoon by syndicated political cartoonist Ted Rall on Monday.

Rall’s cartoon, distributed widely by United Press Syndicate to scores of newspapers and Web sites, concerned the late Pat Tillman, the NFL player who quit football to join the Army. Tillman was killed last month in Afghanistan.

Does anyone have a picture of this creep?

[Taffini]

Rall is a pig.



Does anyone have a picture of Rall? I would like to see the face behind the cartoon.

Well, I guess racist diatribes against conservative black women meets the taste and fairness standard.

[rockrr]

Hmmm, interesting.
My cat draws better pictures in her litterbox......

Don't know what he looks like, but if the man has a soul, it's probably a shriveled, hard little thing about the size of a walnut.

Well, I guess racist diatribes against conservative black women meets the taste and fairness standard.

They find it important to demonstrate that they despise all thinking people equally.

[atomicpossum]

I think his pic says it all.

Found his picture (and am the worse for it):

Bull. They liked the cartoon. They only pulled it because of the public outrage. These people make me sick -- they're as bad as Rall himself.

jack ass

You mean, he's a homo?

Right first time.

[musical_airman]

I can't believe I hadn't seen this yet. What is this Rall guy, a conspiracy theorist? Does he wear his tinfol hat when he goes out in public? sheesh.

For more unfunny slam the Bush administration stuff try:

I'm sure you'll hate it.

[Grampa Dave]

Rall like many other mentally ill perverts who pretend to be cartoonists has zero talent.

My soon to be 5 year grand daughter has better talent re art than this POS Rall.

Their so called political cartoons are put in the so called editor's page by the really perverted ones, the editor/publishers.

Hate cartoons by POS's like Rall are run as free political advertising for the candidates of the lunatic left.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

The definition of sick, stupid crap.

[fr_freak]

Found his picture (and am the worse for it):

Did you find his picture in the New Age dictionary under "Metrosexual"?

[dighton]

What did MSNBC/Slate think they were getting with this creep?

[Dilbert56]

If we get enough pictures of scum like this, they won't be able to go out in public without gearing for their well-being. It will be a good thing. I hope Tillman's brother corners this arrogant little %^&* and beats him within an inch of his life.

If it hasn't been already published, Ted Rall's e-mail address is chet@rall.com

I borrowed a page from the state religion of the lefty media culture, invoked my New Age Power of Precognition, and came back with the tidbit from the near future:

"Fourth-rate 'cartoonist' Ted Rall turned down a lucrative career illustrating soup cans and stupidly enlisted in the terrorist propgaganda jihad, falsely believing that this would enhance his status at the leading edge of the Hollywood/Madison Avenue Cultural Axis."
--from The Illustrated History of the Fourth World War Ch. 7 pg. 9 "Streicher's Children: The New York/Los Angeles Tribunal of 2005" (Coulter, Johnson and Reynolds, Dallas, 2008),

You fill in the rest.
