I generally view him as an idiot espousing left-wing hate and anti-Americanism in his cartoons. But he does make a salient point as an editorial cartoonist about the Chip Cartoon.

Ted Rall, president of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, doesn't think Wednesday's New York Post editorial cartoon was penned by a racist. But he does think it was a "misfire," a "cheap form of editorial cartooning" that fails to carry any real commentary or message and is common in major publications today.

The cartoon wasn’t very good – but it wasn’t at all racist.

Indeed, I’d argue that the uproar tells us more about those outraged than it does about those responsible for the cartoon and its publication.

And interestingly enough, a lot of cartoonists are feeling the heat over how to draw Obama.
