long before that:

That cartoon, "Terror Widows," depicted some of the relatives of September 11 being crass. In one panel, Rall has Larry King ask: "So, when your husband called you from the 104th floor, he knew he was going to die?" And in the next panel, the widow says: "Oh, yes-He was on fire! By the way, Larry, that's a bitchin' tie!" Another panel has a widow saying on TV, "the $3.2 million I collected from the Red Cross keeps me warm at night."

Poor misunderstood Ted Rall.

Karl Rove created this issue... randys1 Jul 2014 #26

Sometimes I wonder if our more conservative posters realize how predictable they are. Marr Jul 2014 #27

This is a well thought out plan by rove and the right...it is all over randys1 Jul 2014 #28

This is a remarkably anti-Democratic OP muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #29

I think the point is that we have to back better people. FiveGoodMen Jul 2014 #35

Sanders and Warren aren't good enough, according to the OP muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #41

The way I read it, it says that Sanders and Warren aren't being taken seriously by the party FiveGoodMen Jul 2014 #44

It calls them 'merely symbolic' (nt) muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #45

...to the party (not to us). FiveGoodMen Jul 2014 #46

It's saying it's not worth organising for them muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #47

Sanders and Warren (and Grayson and others) aren't dupes HomerRamone Jul 2014 #38

And yet you post the OP saying Sanders and Warren are 'merely symbolic' muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #40

If I post something you, don't like, it's moaning HomerRamone Jul 2014 #42
