A barely literate cartoon insulting a heroic soldier who was recently killed- and whaddya know, the cartoon runs on the day said soldier is buried. Who but Ted Rall?
As Mel Gibson said about Frank Rich, "I want to kill him. I want his intestines on a stick; I want to kill his dog."

As for his perspective being legitimate, I'm sorry, I can't assign that phrase to a cartoon that puts the phrase "will I get to kill Arabs?" in Pat Tillman's mouth.
