...Syndicated cartoonist Ted Rall is no stranger to controversy. After drawing a cartoon critical of some 9/11 widows capitalizing on their husbands' deaths, about 40 firefighters with axes from the local firehouse gathered outside Rall's Upper West Side apartment, screaming and hollering.
It took a friend showing up to take pictures of the public servants to get them to disperse. This unnerved Rall, because if the people who are supposed to be protecting you end up attacking you, where else can you go for protection?
"Firefighters are psychotic," Rall said. "They don't work hard, and every five years or so they have to go do a job. That's why everyone wants to be one."

I did not post the entire article; the top of the article may contain language that would offend some.
Frankly, I am outraged at what Ted Rall said...bashing firefighters is pretty much standard operating procedure for the left these days.
I can hear Obama now: "That isn't the Ted Rall I know..."
If this is true then I can't say enough bad things about these firemen. They should be fired.
The American public feels the same way about the press and your ilk Mr. Rall.
What happens when the fourth estate turns out to be a fifth column?
Always ignore Ted Rall. He thrives on attention. Deny him.
Terrorists kidnap Ted Rall and threaten to dowse him with gasoline and burn him alive if a large ransom is not paid.
His friends beg for donations.
How much should we contribute?
About five gallons each.
Well put.

like they arn't allready?
Let the press scream
However, if I owned the outhouse, I wouldn't even rent him the basement.

“If this is true then I can’t say enough bad things about these firemen. They should be fired.”
Why should they be fired?
Oh, brother. Hey Ted? Good luck with that next fire, bud. I might cross the street to contribute a little liquid myself but I wouldn't be depending on it if I were you.
I guess he’d better pray that he never needs the fire dept because I have a feeling once they see who’s house it is that they would take their good old sweet time worrying about the fire!
No, and those same firefighters would risk their lives to save his, it comes with the job. Something Ralls doesn’t seem to understand.
Good advise.
A guy who desperately wants somebody to kick his @$$. He makes Bill Maher seem lovable by comparison.
Giving slime like ted rall any attention whatsoever is always wrong. He’s just something that stuck to the sand when the tide went out
I'm guessing it's a lie. Somebody tell the little douchebag to produce the "photos" that his friend showed up to take.
