Chasing Ted Rall


iconRemember Ted Rall's cartoon about the military from last week? Well, the king of hatred and vitriol has topped it off with an essay this time, in an article he calls An Army of Scum.

Now it's official: American troops occupying Iraq have become virtually indistinguishable from the SS...

The U.S. military is short just one item to achieve moral parity with the Nazis: gas chambers.

Later in his rant he calls our soldiers "inbred psychos". (As Yoda would say, consumed with hatred he is.)

Now, both sides of the political spectrum have their moonbats. But on the right, most people tend to distance themselves from the loons. Let's see if those on the left start to distance themselves from Ted Rall. Or will John Kerry, who made similar comments about our military during the Vietnam War, welcome Rall's endorsement?

What happened to the Left "supporting the troops, just not the war" eh?

Kevin, we still do.Ted Rall is just an extremist who I don't look to for any real liberal insight.

However, do people on the right really distance themselves from the loons? Why, then, are Ann Coulter and Michael Savage so popular among the conservative base?

Well, obviously I'm not the "conservative base." I find Michael Savage abhorrent. I find Ann Coulter generally shrill and offensive, but bitingly acid and accurate on too many occasions to count. You've got yours, we've got ours.

Could be perspective, but you've got more, and worse.
