Ted Rall

One of the more loathed persons here, Rall is what happens when you give a person with no talent a platform. I don’t think anyone in this thread is more egotistical than Rall, who sees himself as the champion of far-left causes. His art is horrendous (he defends it with the tired “style” argument), his arguments tend to be contrarian, and he cannot help but make everything about him. Even movements such as Black Lives Matters, where he went on a personal crusade against the LAPD when he got a ticket. He lost, but to this day still rails about it. Rall will typically attack both sides and us, the people, for not rising up against them…until we do, in which case he criticizes the protests (see OWS, various Trump protests). Rall just genuinely sucks and is on the shortlist for being banned from the thread.

Ted Rall claims to have been bullied as a child, which is entirely plausible. He eventually wrote a comic series about the bully, known as "Brian," in which he gets vicious revenge by repeatedly maiming him. Somehow Ted thinks he is the hero of a story where he nearly murders a child repeatedly. It's like he saw Home Alone but didn't have any sense of humor.
