I still don’t understand how a guy that is this politically extreme — http://www.gocomics.com/rallcom/2007/10/22/ — and goes out of his way to insult people can be the guy who chooses comics for United Media. It’s like asking Ann Colter to choose comics. I wouldn’t like that either. But no worry there…that would never happen.

Some people can separate their personal beliefs and their professional lives. When I ran a movie theater I didn’t ban movies by right wing nuts like Mel Gibson and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
However, the Regal down the street DID refuse to run Michael Moore’s or Al Gore’s movies. Hmm.
A person’s talent should show through despite, not because of, their political beliefs, and I trust Ted Rall to put his politics aside when picking features.
Of course, this is the guy who picked up “Boy On A Stick and Slither,” so maybe his judgment should be called into question in other areas.

I have a question that comes to mind reading this thread and Ted Rall’s cartoons. Rall’s cartoons at times do seem somewhat extreme (as per the sample that Dawn linked here). But for many cartoonists, and I guess many political cartoonists, is it a matter of playing devil’s advocate? Is it really a cartoonist’s extreme view point, or just playing the part to envoke a response? And if that is the case, does that make for good cartooning?
Wow, okay. I guess that was more than one question. LOL.

Well, there’s a discussion going on at Rall’s blog and it looks like Ted means it.
