I agree with Ralph Nader?

Ralph Nader - continual Presidential hopeful
Well that’s it, the world will end soon.
I am not sure if Nader is making more sense or if the Democrats have drifted so far left that he looks less like a loon. Whatever it is, he has Barack Obama nailed to a T.
Uncle Tom Syndrome
Nader: Obama “talking White” — Rocky Mountain “News” (Video on page)
Nader has essentially called Barrack Obama a House Negro, aka Uncle Tom.
Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader accused Sen. Barack Obama, the presumed Democratic Party nominee, of downplaying poverty issues, trying to “talk white” and appealing to “white guilt” during his run for the White House.
You know he is going to be blasted now, as a racist. Even though this is the play book of all Democrats running for the White House.
“There’s only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He’s half African-American,” [MARK: many would argue he is not] 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.”
Bill Clinton was the only Dem in recent history to not tow the party line on every issue. I hope the Dems don’t figure that out.
The Obama campaign had only a brief response, calling the remarks disappointing.
It’s disappointing as they can not really attack him the way they attack everyone else on race. That won’t stop someone from doing it. One of the political proxies will come out and blast Nader as a Racist, narcissist, and spoiler who will destroy America (in other words pull votes from the Democratic Party).
Nader said he plans to travel to Denver during this summer’s Democratic National Convention, hoping to highlight an alternative agenda that he thinks the party should pursue. His appearance in the city is sure to anger some Democrats who believe his presence on the ballot during the contested 2000 election cost Al Gore votes, helping Republican George Bush win the disputed election.
Nader rejects that blame, saying Democrats “scapegoated” him instead of looking at other factors that contributed to the defeat.
*lol* See? This will only get worse.
“He wants to show that he is not a threatening . . . another politically threatening African-American politician,” Nader said. “He wants to appeal to white guilt. You appeal to white guilt not by coming on as black is beautiful, black is powerful. Basically he’s coming on as someone who is not going to threaten the white power structure, whether it’s corporate or whether it’s simply oligarchic. And they love it. Whites just eat it up.”
Someone put on the Buffalo Springfield, please. The comments on the story are very enlightening.

On another blog where the author wrote comments critical of how anyone who criticizes Obama is labeled a racist a commenter claimed that obviously this was “just Conservative projecting and that no one who supports Obama would do such a thing.” Funny thing was, only two comments above his was the comment of an Obama supporter who had just called the blog’s author a racist for bashing Obama. HA!
*lmao* It’s amazing. It’s as if they are all on auto-pilot and get the talking points fed to them daily, for regurgitation. It works o.k. until someone slips and lets the ‘cat out of the bag’.
