According to this notification, MSNBC pulled today's cartoon by political cartoonist and columnist Ted Rall.
It's subject is Pat Tillman, the pro football player who gave up a lucrative contract with the Arizona Cardinals in order to serve his country, and who made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan.
You can see the cartoon here at Ted Rall's website.
It fills me with disgust. Rall is an execrable excuse for a human being. He has no concept of honor, integrity, or duty. He mocks those who protect his right to draw and publish the excretions of his worthless mind.
I believe that, for Rall, what he says is not just commentary, is not his attempt to point out issues that merit further discussion. No, he actually believes it. He believes that Tillman was just a dumb jock that wanted to join the military so he could kill Arabs. He believes that our forces killed more civilians then enemy combatants.
He's living in the tortured dream world of his fevered imagination, consumed by conspiracy theories and outright hatred of this country.
The man is a worm.
Update: Although MSNBC says they pulled the cartoon, it's actually still available in its usual location. You can also get to it by clicking Comics and Games on the left sidebar and then clicking the link for Ted Rall. Did MSNBC change its mind?
Update Mark II: Unsurprisingly, I wasn't the first to post about this. Michelle over at A Small Victory beat me to it. What is surprising is that I beat Misha to the punch, but he eventually came through as only he can. Matt Blackfive keeps it short and sweet.
