Nader plays the race card

[leekohler]

When you are irrelevant and your campaign is in the toilet, play the race card! :mad:

"There's only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He's half African-American," Nader told the paper. "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?"

If anyone here even tries to tell me Nader's a good guy...:mad:

Nader sure isn't a good guy, but this race "problem" will always be there....democratic primary voters decided that's not a big concern, now its time to see the if they are correct.

Let's hope that Nader has effectively buried himself. What an ego.

This will be talked about, oh, for one day maybe two. Who cares? I don't.

Exactly- I think he only did it to get attention because no one gives a crap about him anymore. I justs didn't think he'd stoop that low. It says a lot.

I used to think he was a decent guy, but the more I get to know the real him the more I see what people who don't like him were talking about. Kinda sad since some of his former causes seemed just and some have had pretty positive consequences. At this point, he's being ignored, and that's probably, sadly, a good thing.
