So are you agreeing with his racist description of President Obama? sweetloukillbot Apr 2016 #18

No, I think Obama is a true believer in neo-liberalism. TIME TO PANIC Apr 2016 #19

So it's okay to use a racist term against the first African American president if he is a sellout sweetloukillbot Apr 2016 #20

No, I don't think Nader is a racist, and I don't think he meant that term in a racist way. n/t TIME TO PANIC Apr 2016 #21

Non racist way? sweetloukillbot Apr 2016 #22

So you think Ralph Nader is a racist. I don't. TIME TO PANIC Apr 2016 #23

I am troubled by your obsession with finding ways to say the phrase "Uncle Tom" Fairgo Apr 2016 #27

I find people willing to defend the use of a racist term on a Democratic site disturbing sweetloukillbot Apr 2016 #28

I find your obsession with being disturbed disturbing Fairgo Apr 2016 #35

Since you're so willing to defend racial slurs sweetloukillbot Apr 2016 #37

I also find your assumption of omnipotence and omniscience Fairgo Apr 2016 #40

He was out of touch, no doubt about it. TIME TO PANIC Apr 2016 #31

Then he should have said "Whoops, I fucked up" sweetloukillbot Apr 2016 #32

Yes, he shouldn't have let his ego get the best of him. n/t TIME TO PANIC Apr 2016 #39

Did you vote for him in 2000? Loki Apr 2016 #54

He couldn't have foreseen 2000. Who could have? SusanCalvin Apr 2016 #52

I have the greatest respect for the work Nader did. His comments in the last 5 or so years though merrily Apr 2016 #3

He did win the popular vote PatrynXX Apr 2016 #38

He also won Florida and therefore the election, SCOTUS to the contrary. nt SusanCalvin Apr 2016 #51

This sounds like a promising idea. Uncle Joe Apr 2016 #4
