2. I really used to like Rall
but over the past couple of years he has done everything he can to ridicule our soldiers. I stopped reading his strip after the way he mocked Pat Tillman. Totally disgusting.

8. He can be wishy-washy.
He wrote an article on December 9, 2003 ("CANCEL THE PRIMARIES: Time for Democrats to Rally Around Dean") saying, "Just this once, let's pull the left together. We can go back to tearing each other apart in December '04. I promise."

And then in August last year he was trashing Kerry with this cartoon:



I called him on it, and he emailed me back saying he felt he wasn't "tearing the left apart" with this cartoon.

Well, to me it sure seemed to come from a different sentiment from the one in his Dec. 9/03 column.

9. Take it panel by panel- its just his usual cynical, sarcastic presentation
It does not offend me at all- it's a smart-ass comic strip.

Turn on the news if you want to get REALLY offended.

10. I think he is actually enjoying the misery of the US losing the Iraq War
He's far too ghoolish for my taste.
