Kudos, a wonderful Halloween story!!!!Now let's get back to REALITY and begin to use some COMMON SENSE!!!

[weegee]

Ted Rall is an admitted anarchist-socialist. If he wants to deny how left people lean, take this into consideration.

I will say this. I saw Rall stand before an audience largely comprised of editorial cartoonists and liberal librarians (there were other cartoonists and historians present) and agree that President Clinton should be impeached and removed from offfice. The left did not take kindly to his words. I only saw a presentation from one conservative editorial cartoonist and he was given a chilled response from the crowd (it was an apolitical gathering to discuss comic art at OSU).

[Non-Sequitur]

Come on now. People here at FR have been saying that the DNC killed Wellstone almost as soon as the debris stopped falling. Limbaugh has done everything but come out a say that Clinton personally caused the crash. Why are we suprised that the other side is blaming the GOP?

[pollwatcher]

He truly has passed beyond being a mere left-wing gadfly. Attention Ted Rall, report to landing pad #3, your Black helicopter awaits.

Ted Rall: "decades of budget cuts in public education"

That one statement is all you need to know about Ted Rall. He is clearly ignorant of basic facts. If he believes that we spend less on public education now than at any other time in US History, he probably also believes that the Clinton's are the most honest politicians to ever live.

When did Lautengurg win? Did I sleep late again?

More interestingly, the fact that liberals are even entertaining this notion now is a tribute to the unique atmosphere of vitriol introduced not by Democrats, but be George W. Bush and his entire unelected administration.

LOL -- it's the Republicans' fault that DemocRats float this ridiculous conspiracy theories.

[Darksheare]

Let's see: Vince Foster. Mr. Brown. Several "friends of Bill" who mysteriously 'commited suicide'. U.S.S. Cole. Embassy bombings. Somalia.
Any need to continue to refute mr. Rall with this?

Ted Rall is an admitted anarchist-socialist.

That is, he believes that there should be no government and that it should own everything.

[Mr. Mojo]

Wellstone's murder was obviously the work of the Bilderbergers, the Rothchilds, the Committee of 300, the Trilateral Commission, and of course the Illuminati.

[lasereye]

allowing journalists to die rather than provide them with help in a war zone,

What's that about?

smearing Democratic politicians as anti-American,

When did he say that?

[lilylangtree]

I would think that Jesse Ventura, the independent Governor, would have more of an ax to grind than Bush. Can you imagine the fiercely independent Ventura having to work with the likes of Paul and Walter? Ventura was disliked by the political establishment of the Minnesota Democratic Party like Paul and Walter that they tried undercut him numerously when Jesse took office. If any assassination took place, I'd be looking at Jesse. He had method and opportunity and would be the first to benefit from good ole Paul's demise.

[floriduh voter]

Just look at a still picture of Tom Daschle standing behind Mondale. Does he look like he's okay with Wellstone's demise? He looks scared, IMO.

[floriduh voter]

Please see #33. I don't have the picture handy but Daschle looks scared, seriesly.

[Jorge]

Isn't this the same Ted Rall who created that sick "Terror Widows" comic that caused all the outrage?

This is a seriously disturbed individual.

[VOA]

So incredible and stupid it does not deserve space here at FR

Well, it doesn't deserve multiple postings.
But surely a few folks have printed it out, handed it to their impressionable children
and said
"read this, and get an education in how to 'spot the loony'".

[weegee]

There should be no "government" and the whole social program system should remain in place/be expanded.

Of course with no government, you can't really have elections and if you have a welfare system (dole), there must be a tax collecting agency.

Sounds like this whole political scheme needs to go back to the drawing board (but many people who claim to be "progressives" are really anarchist-socialists as are the anti-WTO protesters and the anti-American-war-tm-.com-not-in-our-namers). It is a group that says Marx may have been wrong but his ideas are still valid.

Left of Communists.

Wellstone's murder was obviously the work of the Bilderbergers, the Rothchilds, the Committee of 300, the Trilateral Commission, and of course the Illuminati.

They sure are clever and devious...causing icing like that.
