Who the hell does this guy think he is?

This is outrageous!

This moron, Ted Rall, is a "political cartoonist". Not only does he have the extremely poor judgement to draw and publish this shit, but he does it on the very day Pat Tillman is remembered by the folks in his hometown of San Jose, California.

Okay, Mr. Rall, you're entitled to your opinion, but Cpl. Tillman is no longer here to defend himself against this slander. You didn't know this man, what his reasons for leaving the NFL and joining the Army were, yet you find a kind of sick humor in making fun of him now that he's no longer among the living.

What if it were YOUR son? Would it be funny then, pal? What about all the other soliders, male AND female, who gave up their lives to fight in this war? You think it's funny that they're gone.

You may not agree with this war, because I don't. But I don't make fun of those, like Pat Tillman, whose devotion to their country and our way of life is important to them. All you want to do is poke fun.

You owe the family of Cpl. Tillman an apology. You owe the American public an apology. You refused interviews regarding this cartoon. You're a coward, plain and simple. You speak big, but you can't back it up or defend your actions. You knew it was wrong, your syndicate knew it was wrong to run this cartoon.

Your right to free speech ends at the tip of my nose. I am offended by this disgusting disregard for Cpl. Tillman. He can't defend himself, so I will, and so will millions of others who are offended. I didn't know Pat Tillman, but I admire the fact that he gave up fame and fortune to serve his country. In my eyes, he's a hero.

And you're a useless piece of crap.
