Ted Rall for August 10, 2011
Transcript:
Don't miss what's sure ot be the Grieviest event of the year! If it's September 11th it must be mournapalooza 2011! Its been 10 years. The Twin Towers are gone. So is the U.S. economy. Our moral highground? Never had that. But we still have something the Terror Dudes can never take away: the most undignified sorrow style on earth! On 9-11-11, come wallow in style! Big-time celebrity politicians from George W. "Smoke 'em Out" Bush to Barack "drone king" Obama! They won't speak- watch 'em emote! Afghanistan... Iraq... Libya... Somalia... Yemen. Be there as we announce our 6th war! Bono will be there! Why? Cuz he's sad. We'll honor our holy first responders (those who haven't died) via remote video feed to their uninsured hospices.)

Barack “Drone King” Obama——way to go, Ted. Love it!

Very poor taste, and wholly uncalled for.

This is just wrong.

Obama is doing something I thought was impossible – making Bush look good. And Bush made Clinton look good. And Clinton….I think I am starting to notice a disturbing trend here…..

‘corpse dust’ is just offensive. those were real people with real families.

Cuz the left was always so fair to Bush, right KIm? How come you weren’t calling out people for being disrespectful to our president in 2007?
pirate227 almost 13 years ago
Two good points in this toon, Obama is making good use of those drones, since our “ally” is so untrustworthy. And it’s a good point about the first responders getting the shaft.

I plan to avoid the television and news outlets for at least that entire week.

This is no worse that the way Fox and cable news is going to treat this. Wolf Blitzer just signed for his gross of Lee’s Press-On Tears, and Gretchen Carlson is at a mirror right now working up a fine case of misdirected indignation.BTW- if we knew where those al-qaida types were who took out that training mission, why didn’t we just get rid of them in the first place instead playing elaborate games in the desert?

Does anyone know just how long it took to build the first World Trade Center?
__How long before the new one is complete, and the memorial is, too.

Oh, that’s sad. Ted you really brought me down with this…

Judging from some of these comments, the truth hurts some people.

Afghanistan was the training ground for the terroists…which is why it was attacked.

terrific cartoon really captures the spirit of 2011.

Wait — Nixon didn’t make Johnson look good. And nobody could have made Carter look good.

what hijackers!? seriously, does ANYONE still believe the pile of crap they used to call the “official story”?! Ted is spot on alright, the media will do anything to keep people from THINKING. Surely some of Ted’s readers are intelligent enough to have recognized that 9/11 had nothing to do with any EXTERNAL foe! Have you done your homework? Have you “looked into it”? If you want irrefutable hard science try Dr. Judy Wood’s amazing book “Where Did The Towers Go” 2010. My library had it and it blew my mind wide open.

How exactly is this offensive? The 9/11 attacks were used as a propaganda tool from day one. You’re complaining a decade later? Better late than never, I guess.
