Rall Cartoon Pulled From MSNBC
Ted Rall recently penned this little crap-stain of a cartoon:
That's right, Mr. Rall has decided to piss all over the legacy of an American hero by portraying him as an ignorant, racist war-monger. I guess Rall is forgetting that he would have been lined up against a wall and shot for being so dissident in a country like Iraq, which Mr. Tillman was fighting to liberate. Some people are just incapable of showing any sort of appreciation or respect.
Pat Tillman died for what he believed in. I wonder if Ted Rall has that kind of devotion to his beliefs. I'm guessing no.
Thankfully, MSNBC had the good sense to pull Rall's cartoon immediately:
I'm not one for boycotts or anything like that, but I'm glad MSNBC is tasteful enough to remove such ugliness from the content on its website. Rall is, of course, entitled to his opinion, but that doesn't mean that respectable media outlets have to publish it.

MSNBC.com pulled a cartoon by syndicated political cartoonist Ted Rall on Monday.
Rall's cartoon, distributed widely by Universal Press Syndicate to scores of newspapers and Web sites, concerned the late Pat Tillman, the NFL player who quit football to join the Army. Tillman was killed last month in Afghanistan.
The cartoon, like others on MSNBC.com, is published daily on the site via an automated syndication feed. Such feeds are rarely reviewed. However, MSNBC.com Editor in chief Dean Wright concluded Monday's Rall item did not meet MSNBC.com standards of fairness and taste.
I'm not one for boycotts or anything like that, but I'm glad MSNBC is tasteful enough to remove such ugliness from the content on its website. Rall is, of course, entitled to his opinion, but that doesn't mean that respectable media outlets have to publish it.
