Soldier-slandering, Radical Left-wing Cartoonist Rall Laid Off

Chalk up one more wildly talented cartoonist to be victimized by the economy.

“I’ve been laid off,” reads the headline on the blog of cartoonist Ted Rall, president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists. Rall, an editorial cartoonist for Universal Press Syndicate, has served as editor of acquisitions and development at United Media for the past two years.

“My job was finding new talent -- comic strip artists, columnists and writers of puzzles -- to syndicate to newspapers,” Rall writes on his blog. “Considering the circumstances, I enjoyed remarkable success. ... I am proud of what I accomplished.”


Rall may be virtually alone when it comes to taking pride in his work. Not content to keep his Hitler comparisons to elected politicians like George W. Bush or Dick Cheney, Rall often spilled his venom on the likes of American servicemen and 9/11 widows. In one of his most infamous drawings, he compared U.S. soldiers to Islamist suicide bombers [1] (shown below page break):

Ironically, last year Rall said the country's direction, including a souring economy, was "good news" for him [1].

Definitely a good thing!

Guys like him are why I don't read newspapers. You want me to pay for insulting trash?
