I just saw this cartoon on the November 26, 2005 Seattle PI website and was appalled. Needless to say, they got an earful from me, for whatever it is worth.

Feel free to add your two cents worth and let's stop this before it gets any worse for our troops in Iraq.

This guy is a real con artist.

I posted a thread about this freak of nature several months ago.... The local paper here in Japan runs an article a week from him (Ted). It got to the point that if I turned the page and his "OpEd" was there I would skip the whole page because he infuriates me so much. He is the looniest of the loony.

Just gave them a piece of my mind too, although I can't afford to spare a lot.

Update: A friend also wrote them about this and received the following reply (I never received a reply to my nastygram)

Quote:
Thank your for your email. I, too, thought the strip tasteless. That's why I did not publish it. Every week when we select a Ted Rall for the paper, we toss out one that we consider outrageous. The reason why you saw the cartoon is that the P-I's New Media operation takes a feed directly from Ted Rall's syndicate. It's an online link that automatically posts every cartoon he draws. We are now reviewing this practice.

Again, thank you.
Regards, Mark Trahant


Even if it didn't make it to print in their paper, it has been there in their website for over a week now. I would hope that they would do a little more with this than "review the practice."
