There’s a door in his building that leads to an alley?

The style of the story has the same tenor of your typical breathless e-mail hoax.

And sure: the Feds send out an undercover agent to fool with Rall’s phone box, but they send him in a car with government plates.

And who knew that frequent visits from the repair man was an indication of government surveillance! Here I thought I had all those visits from Charter Cable over my internet connection because their service sucked.

In fact, he loves the state so much that in the aftermath of Katrina he told people to withhold donations to the Red Cross so that the Bush Administration would feel pressured to spending more tax money on relief.

For Ted Rall, increasing state spending and power is good, private initiatives are bad, bad, bad. And he is just as willing as those nasty neo-cons to promote human suffering in pursuit of his political goals.

From every description in the times article it seems none of the investigations into him went further then reading his website and writing a summation of it. If there is evidence to prove more I’d like to see it.

His point about them not being intelligent is also seen through rose colored glasses, the evidence leans more to them believing that he just wasn’t that important. But y’know, any opportunity for Rall to slander a cop is fine by him. The guy’s a poseur hack, an inept lefty-Ann Coulter prick whose irrelevance grows day by day.
