Ted Rall: The epitome of despicable
I first learned about Ted Rall during 2007. Rall is a lunatic hateful lefty cartoonist and columnist, the extremist’s extremist.
It’s impossible to describe how scummy this character is. The title of his new book says it all….
Rall is so vile and hateful he's advocating a violent revolt. Here's an excerpt from the above:
"We are here because the
Christian fundamentalists, the millennial end-of-theworlders obsessed with the Left Behind series about the End Times, neo-Nazi racists, rural black-helicopter Michigan Militia types cut from the same inbred cloth as Timothy McVeigh, allied with 'mainstream' gun nuts and right-wing Republicans, have been planning, preparing, and praying for the destruction of the 'Godless,' 'secular' United States for decades. In the past, they formed groups like the John Birch Society and the Aryan Nations. Now the hard Right has a postmodern, decentralized non-organization organization called the Tea Party.
Right-wing organizational names change, but they amount to the same thing: the reactionary sociopolitical force—the sole force—poised to fill the vacuum when collapse occurs. The scenario outlined by Margaret Atwood’s prescient novel The Handmaid’s Tale—rednecks in the trenches, hard military men running things, minorities and liberals taken away and massacred, setting the stage for an even more extreme form of laissez-faire corporate capitalism than we’re suffering under today—is a fair guess of how a post-U.S. scenario will play out unless we prepare to turn it in another direction…
A war is coming. At stake: our lives, the planet, freedom, living. The government, the corporations, and the extreme right are prepared to coalesce into an Axis of Evil. Are you going to fight back? Will you do whatever it takes, including taking up arms?…
I want you to see that revolt is a good idea, and that it has never been more necessary."
And the GOP is somehow supposed to compromise with the likes of Rall and his ilk?
