Ted Rall was a former student of mine in the 1970's for a short time, when he lived in a suburb of Dayton. I have followed his career somewhat.

He craves attention, and is very interested in controversy for the sake of controversy, in fomenting outrage than the expression of any coherent philosophy beyond extreme knee-jerk liberalism.

He did have some excellent anti-Clinton cartoons in the '90's, where in one he had Clinton explaining why he had sacrificed humans to Ba'al, satirizing the "smoked but didn't inhale" - "Depends what 'is' means" Clinton.

To be sure, more recently he is as far left-wing weirdo doubleplusunfunny as you can get! MSNBC probably made his day by pulling the cartoon.

He is a cowardly POS. I firmly believe the left is the enemy and should be treated that way. I have NO tolerance for garbage like this. If he meets his end soon, I would celebrate.

that has always been my thought on Rall. He appears to be a major drama queen whose lack of talen prohibits him from getting any attention so he goes the way of so many "artists" and goes for shock value. Then when peopel have a strong reaction to him it allows him to be a maytr and receive all the attention he is so desperate for. Don't e-mail this guy to complain it only feeds his false sense of self-importance.
