Irony abounds in recent rantings by lefty cartoonist Ted Rall
Rall, author of “The Anti-American Manifesto”, finds himself ostracized by former comrades for being “too tough” in his criticism of President Obama. The poor fellow is having trouble finding work (join the club!) NOT because of Obama’s policies but because the editors he deals with are enmeshed in a “cult of personality” which reduced them to brain-dead “Obamabots”.
Rall dumps on pundit Kevin Drum whose slavish worship of the Golfer-in-Chief drives Ted to incivility:
“So what should I think about [the war in Libyan]?,” asks Kevin Drum in Mother Jones. “If it had been my call, I wouldn’t have gone into Libya. But the reason I voted for Obama in 2008 is because I trust his judgment. And not in any merely abstract way, either: I mean that if he and I were in a room and disagreed about some issue on which I had any doubt at all, I’d literally trust his judgment over my own. I think he’s smarter than me, better informed, better able to understand the consequences of his actions, and more farsighted.”
Mr. Drum, call your office. Someone found your brain in the break room.
Yikes. Sounds like whoever found Drum’s brain was nice enough to wash it before returning it.
Sorry, we’ve said the same thing for years while people like Rall laughed and called us “raaaaacists”.
So even though Ted is singing our song, we’re gonna plug our ears.
