Ralph Nader Is Your Crazy Uncle Who Says Bizarre Things

I don’t even need to comment on this. But I will anyways:
“There’s only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He’s half African-American,” Nader said. “Whether that will make any difference, I don’t know. I haven’t heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What’s keeping him from doing that? Is it because he wants to talk white? He doesn’t want to appear like Jesse Jackson? We’ll see all that play out in the next few months and if he gets elected afterwards.”
Frankly, if Karl Rove had said this, it would set off a far bigger firestorm than just the country club comments that he recently made.
The strangest thing about Ralph Nader is that apparently no one ever told him that in order to be elected president in America, you have to build a broad coalition. At this point, he’s just an old man ranting about big bad corporations and playing the race card with all the subtlety of Al Sharpton.
Bullshit.
Nader is gagagagaga…..
The only news I hear about Nader in the mainstream media is jokes and half cocked comments about one thing or another he said. It’s not because he does not say interesting things, he is highly respected among elder statesmen and generally viewed as an intelligent guy by both domestic and foreign politicians. He just can’t penetrate the media fog that has enslaved Americas political system. Big media (3 companies control almost everything you see and hear on TV and in print, and a lot of what you get from online news sites) CHOOSES the victor. THREE companies shape the American vote, and Nader is one of the few politicains who talks about it. He will never be mainstream because mainstream is what News Corp, Time Warner and Walt Disney want it to be. What a sad state of affairs…
Ralph, at one time, was a beacon for the American people. He has become a BITTER OLD MAN. He never mentions what he can do to help his people (Arab Americans) in fact he acts as if he is ashamed to mention it. He needs to find John McSame and both of them go TAKE A NAP.
Ralph is an honest man. He says what he thinks and his remarks and comments are not watered down gibberish like we get from Obama and McCain. I respect him for that. We do have a very sad state of affairs in this country, there is a lot to be mad and bitter about. Ralph Nader has my support.
