Ted Rall's Latest Abomination

[fossten]

Should we assume that Harry Reid will be getting a letter signed by Senators to denounce this latest and most egregious bashing of our soldiers? I won't hold my breath.

...I'll refrain from the outrage.
The best thing to do is just show this to as many people as possible.

I remember showing friends and family video footage of the anti-war protests a few years back filmed by Protest Warrior. Everyone who saw it was absolutely shocked and disgusted by what they saw. They couldn't believe it. They'd never seen one of the leftist rallies depicted honestly on the news before.

Same goes here. I don't think most people understand the contempt American liberal-elites have for the military. You heard it every day, in every conversation with them.

It's disgusting.

I'll be reposting that drawing all over the internet.

Also important to note, Ted Rall was a pulitzer prize finalist in '96.
And some context for those who don't remember Ted Rall

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Rall

Ted Rall (born 1963 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) is a liberal columnist and syndicated editorial cartoonist whose political cartoons often appear in a multi-panel comic-strip format. His cartoons appear in approximately 100 newspapers around the United States.............

In a 1999 article entitled "School's out Forever" Rall criticized the manner in which the school was reopened following the Columbine High School massacre, while showing understanding for the murderers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, claiming "the killers saved their bullets for bullies while telling other kids to leave before they got hurt". He also denounced the re-opening ceremony for the school as a "Nuremberg-style rally" and stated "leaving a few bullet holes or bloodstains behind (perhaps with an explanatory plaque) might have served as a cautionary tale for future bullies and their victims".

Rall has also caused considerable controversy with post-9/11 cartoons. The "Terror Widows" cartoon suggested the widows of men murdered in the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks were motivated by greed; it was called offensive by some and "perceptive" by others. After a concerted e-mail campaign by outraged conservative bloggers, Times online dropped the piece. Rall's response to the criticism: "I've done a few lousy cartoons in my time that I'd love to take back, but this isn't one of them."

Rall raised hackles with his May 4, 2004 Op/Ed "An Army of Scum: Or, We're Looking For a Few Good Homosexual Rapists," in which he wrote about the Abu Ghraib scandal, "American troops occupying Iraq have become virtually indistinguishable from the SS."

Three characters in another strip described Pat Tillman as an "idiot" a "sap" and a "hero", respectively, for abandoning his NFL career to enlist in the armed forces. Tillman is depicted saying "Sign me up, as long as I get to kill Arabs."

In a June 8, 2004, blog entry published shortly after the death of Ronald Reagan, Rall said the former President is "turning crispy brown right about now," implying that he is burning in Hell because of his policies. The post was followed by a comic depicting the President being tormented by the devil, informing him that he has arrived at a heaven that looks like hell because of budget cuts like those ascribed to Reagan.

His July 5, 2004, cartoon mocked Condoleezza Rice, depicting her character being sent to a "racial re-education camp" where she refers to herself as a "house nigga" and George W. Bush's "beard".

A November 8, 2004 cartoon depicted mentally disabled children as classroom teachers in an attempt to make an analogy to American voters who reelected Bush, drawing complaints from advocates for the disabled.

A July 4, 2005, Op/Ed piece accused George W. Bush's chief political strategist Karl Rove of being "more morally repugnant and more anti-American" than 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden because of his alleged role in outting CIA agent Valerie Plame.................

Rall solicited funds from readers and left-wing bloggers in an attempt to sue Ann Coulter for libel and slander for her joking statement that, "Iran is soliciting cartoons on the Holocaust. So far, only Ted Rall, Garry Trudeau, and The New York Times have made submissions." By 18 days later, pledges totaled over $21,000. However, pledges are no longer being solicited.
