Nader blabbering on MSNBC. Still not apologizing for Bush.

158. We have no idea what the vote totals would have been without Nader...

And since we do know the Bush mob was engaged in election fraud and intended to steal Florida no matter what, we also cannot say that they would have been unable to steal it anyway, even if Gore's margin of victory in Florida had been a bit greater. (And again, there's no guarantee of where the Nader votes would have gone, nor any presumption that these "belonged" to Gore.)

All this shouldn't matter because of what you are denying. Nader was doing something legal and constitutional.

The denial part is that Gore won anyway: the national popular vote and the vote in Florida. But the Bush mob conducted election fraud followed by a judicial coup d'etat, effectively suspending the Constitution and practicing an illegal government in the years that followed.

To position Nader as the villain and talk about him all the time is a form of denying the actual crime, which was on a planetary scale of horror.
