Good grief, have you seen this Ted Rall comic?

[acmavm]

[beam me up scottie]

1. Hoo boy.

He's our Steve Bell.

[skylarmae]

2. good grief is right! whatever will the bible thumpers say

about this one? Stunning...

[ixion]

3. "only rape the cute ones for now."

:wow: that really nails it to the wall. :applause:

[Armstead]

4. I heard him on a radio interview before this came out

Rall said he wrestled with how far to go with this, because he realized how it was very borderline in terms of taste. But he said he decided he had to make it strong enough to get people's attention, because the horror of our nation debating whether to torture people is so bad that it had to be done in an "in your face" way.

[Jim__]

5. It definitely puts this "torture" debate in perspective.

It's sad that it takes this to get the country's attention - if this does get the country's attention.

[KoKo]

6. OMG! I don't think any newspaper will have the guts to carry this.....

Wasn't he dropped fromt he WaPo about a year ago for one of his cartoons?

This is one that the WaPo should run right next to the link to Dana Priests article on the Torture Prisons.

[itzamirakul]

32. I think his cartoons are published in the Village Voice...

but I don't know where else.

[afdip]

7. great cartoon . . . more than a little appropriate

[Gemini Cat]

8. Wow. He nailed it. nt

[tuvor]

13. Damn, that's powerful stuff

This man is a font of righteous anger.

[truthisfreedom]

14. bushco must be up in arms over this.

it's way too telling.

[donkeyotay]

15. A brutal cartoon that hits this RW rationale on the necessity of torture

"What if a young Muslim boy knows where and when a bomb is about to go off. What if sodomizing him is the only way to get him to talk."

Yep. Could be our lives and freedom are depending on it! Yep, the plane if about to fly into the building! Could happen... of course, if the poor bastard doesn't know anything you wind up with false alarms. Torture and rape are inefficient along with being immoral.

[Nimrod2005]

16. Awesome, please forward to Drudge and other rightwing sites

[Kurovski]

17. K&R. Rall sure knows how to take BushCo insanity

for a walk around the block.

[BamaBecky]

18. kick

[Neil Lisst]

19. OMG!! That was too funny!

I'm howling!

That guy is good!

[leftofthedial]

20. rall is the best

:thumbsup:

all this hairsplitting from the right over the doctrine of torture . . .

it's sick

[mirandapriestly]

21. He really nails it imho.

His comic shows the truth.

[burythehatchet]

22. How in the world will Sith Lord Cheney

ever enjoy moments of intimacy if raping small boys was prohibited?

[Beam Me Up]

24. Right. They are videotaped, aren't they. Good point.

[Jacobin]

23. Brutal

I'm glad Rall is putting it in the public's face. It is absurd that we are even having the discussion of whether to torture prisoners or what constitutes torture

[KoKo]

25. Kick...for those who missed it!

:kick:

[Neil Lisst]

33. Humor has been a major tool for truth telling....

Politics makes strange bedfellows & this time Humor has been used very effectively as a way to tell the truth.
Kinda hard to attack a humorist....
I am saddened by what our country has done. The round 2 Abu Garaib video's will eventually come out...Showing the rape & tortue of innocents....The rest of the world has known about this for what- 2 years now?. Our reputation is SO fucked & rightly so...

34. Ted Rall Nailed It!!!
