But that's what "liberal" media outlets want in the age of Obama.

I can't prove it in every case. (That's how blackballing works.) The Nation and Mother Jones and Harper's, liberal magazines that gave me freelance work under Clinton and Bush, now ignore my queries. Even when I offered them first-person, unembedded war reporting from Afghanistan. Hey, maybe they're too busy to answer email or voicemail. You never know.

Other censors are brazen.

There's been a push among political cartoonists to get our work into the big editorial blogs and online magazines that seem poised to displace traditional print political magazines like The Progressive. In the past, editorial rejections had numerous causes: low budgets, lack of space, an editor who simply preferred another creator's work over yours.

Now there' s a new cause for refusal: Too tough on the president.

I don't know what is more funny. Poor Ted not being able to find a 'job', his claim that he is "left-of-center", or stating that Bill Maher is not as far to the right as Dick Cheney.
One day he'll realize that he doesn't have a job because he's a radical left-wing steaming pile of shit and isn't funny.

I didn't know Ann Coulter did cartoons, but I take the point. If a lefty like Ted Rall is getting turned down for insufficient fealty to The Chosen One -- Benito Mussobama -- the left's self-censorship is almost a caricature.

I know Rall is a cartoonist, but he is also a columnist and it was as a columnist, and a bomb thrower, that I was comparing him to Coulter.

From the article:

"So what should I think about [the war in Libya]?," asks Kevin Drum in Mother Jones. "If it had been my call, I wouldn't have gone into Libya. But the reason I voted for Obama in 2008 is because I trust his judgment. And not in any merely abstract way, either: I mean that if he and I were in a room and disagreed about some issue on which I had any doubt at all, I'd literally trust his judgment over my own. I think he's smarter than me, better informed, better able to understand the consequences of his actions, and more farsighted."

That's some funny shit right there.

Hey, you guys remember back during the Bush administration when true conservative commentators were running all those anti Bush cartoons poking fun at spending, the Patriot Act, and nation building? That was hilarious.

Just curious. What conservative commentators run ANY cartoons?

The author using the terminology "Cult of Personality" reminds me of when, either just before or just after the current President got elected, I posted a link to the Living Colour "Cult of Personality video on a message board far away.

And now there's a Youtube video tapping into that idea. Just another reminder that there's very little one can think of that others don't also think of.

What happened to just putting them in a free-speech zone a couple of miles away?

I'm guessing you think that makes sense.
