Ted Rall has struck again - this time with words instead of his little cartoons. In his Dec. 6, 2005 editorial, "We're Looking for a Few Good Refuseniks", Rall attacks the US military and veterans again. Rall credits the "unelected" President Bush for the military turning its back on its once "honorable calling". Rall then blames the US soldiers for "torturing, maiming and murdering POWs, robbing and subjecting civilians to collective punishment, dropping white phosphorus and depleted uranium bombs on civilian targets."
Pooh-poohing the "they are just following orders" excuse, Rall reminds his readers that the illegal, immoral and unjust war could not have been waged without a "compliant and complicit US military". He calls for the "men and women of our armed forces" to be "held individually accountable for the carnage". Rall continues that our "government's poorly paid contract killers" do not deserve our support for blindly following orders. So much for "we support the troops but not their mission".
Rall holds up Darrell Anderson, the 22 year old deserter, as a role model for the soldiers serving their country. Anderson ran and hid in Canada because he "couldn't kill women and children." Rall said that Anderson made the "right choice".
In the closing of his anti-military screed, Rall could not resist attacking another group of military veterans - the Vietnam Veterans. The reports of Vietnam Veterans being spit on and being called baby-killers was nothing more than fiction in Rall's warped little world. Contrary to what the world actually witnessed, Rall said it was the first Rambo movie that spurred all the spitting and baby-killer claims. Instead of treating our returning veterans like gum on the bottom of their shoe, Rall recounts Chris Clarke's take of the anti-Vietnam activists "opening coffee houses near the military bases and sending the GI's care packages and letters."
Ted Rall does have the right to free speech - thanks to the soldiers that he hates. What he does not have the right to do is offer aid and comfort to our enemies by undermining our soldiers. Some of the Democrats are distancing themselves from Howard Dean and his "we're gonna lose" attitude. When will the media, especially Yahoo, start distancing themselves and stop publishing hate from the anti-American, anti-military scum, Ted Rall?
Just so we all know what he looks like
great job. but not enough. any email address for this dingle-berry of a flea sh*t?
Whatever happened to the "we support the troops, just not the war?" ("and don't call us unpatriotic!") line?
Ted Rall must have had one heck of a childhood.
For one, that's exactly what he wants. He's a petulent child, he craves negative attention.
But what he is is perfectly consistent.
Gee, when that happens to most guys, they just turn out to be gay.
It's an all-out coordinated attack against our military now from the Democrats and the media. They should be ashamed, and they have put these heroes into far more harm by their partisan and irresponsible false statements. Hard to believe. And Kerry is again a major part of the rhetoric.
That's an old photo. With his cheap suit he looks like an East German STASI agent. He definitely thinks like one.
never heard of him; sounds like an asshole, however
well, doesn't he just look fabulous...
NO,
he is beneath contempt.
They're projectile rounds I believe. Uranium is a very dense metal that can go through armor plating, tanks etc. and will burn on impact. I was in the Air Force and my only experience with it was watching the safety video on it once a year. I also have some background with the atomic energy program and don't think this stuff is even close to as bad as liberals say it is. Obviously, people shouldn't touch the residue, or roll around in it, but the majority of those who have been around this stuff are fine. I'm not an expert however, but Rall doesn't even know that these are not bombs. What an idiot.
Seems like he is quite the bitter little wanker.
Also, think Ramsey Clark. He got his panties in a wad when the LBJ insiders didn't invite him to a dinner as LBJ was leaving office.
Oh happy day! Ted Rall and Tookie Williams sharing a wood chipper.
No warnings about covering your keyboard or blowing beer through your nose.
I nearly died when I got to the "Clinton book signing" 'toon.
He looks like a guy who could just never manage to get a girl to take home.
A tagalong...
Funny, though, how the "non-liberal, unbiased MSM" rarely delves into his shennanigans, treating him as they treated the criminal Sandy Burglar--sideshows not demanding much attention. Of course if they were Republicans...
We will experience less frustration by just accepting that the MSM and the Democrats (plus all their supporters) are purposely against this country. They want to change our form of government into a Communists/Socialists one.
Part of that is also to accept that that mind set is a form of mental illness. They are ignoring history, in fact, they are rewriting history to suit their fantasy of truth. They purposely lie and deceive, calling good bad and bad good. If that is not an illness I don't know what is.
We don't have to accept what they are doing, just recognize it, to gain some sort of balance of our own. They are evil and in comparison we are good. We must crush them or we won't survive nor will good.
