Dittos!
Never heard of him. Glad he's gone.
To the Bit Bucket with him!
(I wonder how many Freepers know that there actually was such a thing and what it was used for?)
Is this Ted Rall cartoons/idiotorials we are talking about or did Ted Rall himself try to post to FR?
Did he actually try to post here?
I wouldn't ban all posts dealing with Ted R. His work gives us a window into the progressive mind.
I was kind of surprised someone would actually print the hateful bile that Rall writes. But there is a lot of hateful people on the left who are into that stuff.
Sure. No reason to understand the thinking of the opposition. Thanks for protecting me from badthink!
my fertile mind
ZOT Bitch!!!
Though once or twice we've made an exception, Rall's (bleep) is generally unwelcome here.
If some of the *mainstream* consider him fit to print, that says something about them, not flattering IMHO.

Thank you FR! One who demeans Pat Tillman's sacrifice in Afghanistan and makes racial slurs against our National Security Advisor has no place on this website.
I've always thought that Rall was pretty much the heart and soul of the Democrat Party-like Whoopi Goldberg.
The obvious ones were the dot-bomb bubble and the Clintons, but there were any number of contenders who helped this idea gell in my mind.
One subset was talentless creeps who rode a wave of popularity based not on merit or talent, but notoriousness and self-promotion.
Rall was a poor writer, and a worse draftsman whose scribblings were an insult to those who try to make such disciplines an art.
I will not miss him.
This is what happens when you call Michael King stupid!
I am banned from amny forums for being an outspoken conservative. I wish him well.
I give the column a 1, then I scan it.
Then I go read Ann Coulter. :->
Sounds like some sort of farm implement.....
I respectfully request help from all you Freepers!!!
The New York magazine is dead set against President George W. Bush and the entire Republican Party. It is owned by the Conde-Nast Corporation. I receive the damn thing because the subscription to it was given to me by a relative last Christmas. I have to admit, though, that sometimes they have interesting articles and essays, although the overall literary quality has declined considerably over the past fifteen or twenty years.
This last issue, of August 23, 2004, anticipating the GOP convention in New York City at the end of this month, carries two items that have shocked me. One, under the banner 'WELCOME, CONVENTIONEERS! has the following introductory statement:
"Now that you Republicans are guests in our home, we New Yorkers have put aside all that 'crypto-Fascist/gun/-nut/social-Neanderthal/greedy-fat-cat' stuff and have custom-designed this guide exclusively for you GOP delegates -- and especially for you crypto-Fascist/gun-nut/social-Neanderthal/greedy-fat-cat GOP delegates! Ready, set, go!"
Underneath the above welcoming words is a distorted map for presumably 'naive' GOP delegates, showing the Bronx where Staten Island is, New Jersey in Manhattan, The Hamptons in Queens, Brooklyn in the Bronx, and Madison Square Garden in New Jersey! Central Park is shown somewhere near Astoria, Queens!
Although this silly sketch, done by one Bruce McBall, -or something like it-, is meant in jest, one can tell that it distills enough venom to exacerbate the minds of all the stupid protesters that will try to disrupt the convention next week. The whole sketch and accompanying article is about a page and a half long, but it is offensive to say the least! The GOP delegates are being treated as if they were hicks or hillbillies that will be resignedly hosted by the superior jerks who live in Manhattan! I don't know who this nitwit Bruce McBall is, but one of my children who will be attending the convention as a delegate has lived and owned her home in Manhattan for ages! I, a Republican forever, have owned an apartment in Manhattan for a long time too, and I don't see why we have to take all this sneering from sleazeballs like McBall or McCall, or whatever!
The second article, under a CAMPAIGN JOURNAL section, is titled SWINGTIME. It has a subtitle that reads "Former Bush voters advertise their disaffection." This is a detailed account, some five and a half pages long, of how MoveOn.org (the Soros-owned attack-dog organization) is luring dissatisfied Republicans to express criticism of Bush and the Republican Party on video ads that will later be shown by the Soros group. The cynicism of the author, -one Philip Gourevitch, known for his dislike of Bush and the GOP-, is just amazing!
While there is very little we can do to stop these things, there is one thing every Freeper could do:
1) You can cancel your subscription to the magazine if you have one. I will not renew mine when it expires in a couple of months. I have also persuaded every relative and/or friend that buys the magazine to cease and desist!
2)I would suggest a boycott of the companies that advertise in The New Yorker, such as Citibank, Toyota, 1-800-Mattress, Grand Marnier, The Bantam Dell Publishing Group, the American Stock Exchange, Turning Leaf Vineyards, BP petroleum products, Subaru, Volkswagen, Daimler-Chrysler Corporation, Absolut Furst (Vodka), The Apple Company, Inc., etc.
I don't know whether these measures will prove effective or not, but I would certainly hope my Freeper friends would spread the word!
Thank you very much.
