What the hell is up with people and the "Pat Tillman/Ted Rall" crap?

Was Ted's cartoon really inapropriate, bad taste and crude? Yes, I doubt Pat Tillman was a blood thirsty killer, I see him as a patriot that believed the best he could after 9/11 was serve his country in the millitary. I know he was a special op, but have you ever seen his physique? He could've been anything in the military because of his physical and mental attributes. No, he wasn't "a dumb jock"; he was actually the top of his high school class. Does Ted owe a apollogy to the Tillman family? In my opinion yes, but that's just my opinion. Besides that I've come to this conclusion and I believe you should too. IT'S A FUCKING CARTOON!!! GET A GOD DAMN GRIP!!! It was like this when "The Passion of the Christ" came out.

People would say,"Oh no, this film only serves the purpose of Christian fundamentalism, anti-semitism and etc."
"Aht, aht, aht, stop, slow down and take a deep. Now watch the flic again."
"Hey it's just a piece of crap film."
"Now you got it!"
God bless you Bill Hicks wherever you are.

1. I've avoided any posts on that topic

I could not really give a fuck either way.

2. I thought of it as giving ammo to the rethugs

What good is it taking cheap shots at a dead soldier? It just makes us look bad, and it's not going to change any hearts or minds. I haven't seen any mobs with pitchforks, so I doubt we're persecuting Rall with too much fanatical zeal.
