Maybe even the Post editors felt Rall's creations are too over the top for their readers?

NEW YORK WashingtonPost.com is no longer running the cartoons of hard-hitting liberal Ted Rall.
Rall said he thinks the site dropped his work because of a Nov. 4 cartoon he did showing a drooling, mentally handicapped student taking over a classroom. "The idea was to draw an analogy to the electorate -- in essence, the idiots are now running the country," he told E&P.
"That cartoon certainly drew a significant amount of negative comment from our users," said WashingtonPost.com Executive Editor Doug Feaver when contacted by E&P. But he added that the decision to drop Rall was a "cumulative" one that had been building for a while.
"Ted Rall does very interesting work," Feaver said. "Some of it is not funny to an awful lot of people. We decided at the end of the day that it just did not fit the tone we wanted at WashingtonPost.com."
Rall was dropped effective Nov. 15, according to Feaver.

Have you seen Rall's latest? The one where he imagines the executions of Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice and Bush.
Great defense, Ted. Someone who's too liberal for the Washington Post has really gone off the deep end.
I'm going to become a political cartoonist. Rall has convinced me that anyone can do it.
At least he's upfront in what he thinks about us JesusLanders......and the feeling's mutual......
the MSM is trying to climb out of the very deep hole they dug for themselves this election cycle
Rall is a disgrace. His 'toons are ugly both visually and in message and content. He is in need of sedation and a restructuring of his personality. That the Wash ComPost decided to dump him is no small statement about how he consistently repulsed his viewers.
See tagline, it's an oldie but still a goodie.

Soon he'll go into some screed about how he was fired because MSM is in the back pocket of the RNC.
Understatement of the year. Rall is often one French Fry short of a Happy Meal, if you get my gist.
Small wonder why the Post's online site dropped Rall--they don't want to be an accessory to a Federal felony. 
The absurd has become boring.
Because for Lefties, using ,making fun of, and all around abuse of the less fortunate of our society is acceptable. With this election, they may have figured out that it's NOT ok with the Majority of Americans.
If this means, classless, mean-spirited, arrogant, smug, tasteless and stupid, I agree.
Dear RayChuang88,
Unlike the NY Slimes, the WashPost makes an occasional stab at actual journalism.
