The only Nader thread DU should allow in LBN is his decision not to run

Poll question: The only Nader thread DU should allow in LBN is his decision not to run

Yes. Absolutely. Who cares what this guy has to say. He is insane as is anyone who would vote for him. Lets keep this Rethug in liberals clothing off DU's main page!

1. He's irritating as all hell, I'll admit

But some of the things he says are news. We post what rw'ers say here.

[CharlesGroce]

2. Keep the DU Democratic

Argue your case here, don't demand others just not speak. It makes the Democratic party weaker for you to do that.

[FlemingsGhost]

3. Yes, let's start banning news we take issue with

It's not like this is a progressive website, or anything.

What in the world has become of this site?

5. Nothing Nader does..

... is news. The only thing he could do that would be newsworthy is die or drop out of the election.

[FlemingsGhost]

7. A while back, he called for impeaching Bush.

Yup, nothing to see here ...

[sendero]

11. And I'm sure...

... that it was on the nightly news in every market. NOT. The man has no gravitas, no juice - his calling for impeachment is barely more meaningful than you or I doing it.

[FlemingsGhost]

14. And yet, this is the man who lost the election for Gore?

How can that be?

[Forkboy]

4. Pointless poll

The Admins decide these things,not us.

[Lefta Dissenter]

6. what if

he falls off a cliff? Is that ok to post in LBN? :shrug: (not that I'm suggesting anything...)

[TSIAS]

8. Lets Ban Bush from LBN as well

/sarcasm off/

Of course, we can't simply ignore all our political opponents.

[Canuckistanian]

9. Two words: IGNORE HIM

Don't attack him, don't comment on him, don't give him the attention.
Wasn't it Atrios (or another blogger) who refuses to report anything nader does or says?
I think that's the best strategy.

[Aidoneus]

10. the daily "(More Than) Two Minutes' Hate"!

Yay, I caught this one early! The "Rethugs in Liberals' clothing" who post on these threads are always interesting in all of the wrong ways. What is more insane are these threads. The first thousand may have been interesting, but now merely tedious and pitiable..

12. Gee isn't free speech a burden

Folks, please ,please see this in the light of the right wing Bush administration and their attacks on our civil liberties. This neocon , this DLC lover, this Nader basher simply doesn't feel the same about our constitutional rights as do I and as (I hope) do you!

We see, time and again a distortion of what Nader says and does, a tissue of lies about his history and his record of public service and , from time to time a call for censorship of his words. Imagine what the DLC led neocons could do if they actually occupied the White House!! Why not much different from what the current resident is doing, not much different at all.......

For those with a free and unfettered mind:

Votenader.org read and see the reality of Nader's positions...they aint new, they are what the demos used to stand for before Clinton's DLC took over and ruined that party.

13. The little white boxes by each thread title should take care of that

I'll start now.
