Ralph Nader on Colbert

[IChing]

[OldLeftieLawyer]

1. I hate Nader

He should have faded away a long time ago. He's nothing but an attention-hungry fuck with absolutely no focus. Now he's a consmer advocate again?

Fuck him. He's filth.

[mdmc]

20. i love Nader... I dislike that Rev. Fred Phelps... but that is just me

I don't like Ollie North, Ray-gun (Although I do like Ron Reagan Jr.), or Condi Rice...

I really like to hear what Ralph Nader, David Cobb, and Bernie Saunders have to say. I really like hearing it.

[onehandle]

2. He's pushing a book on how eeeeevil corporations are.

YOU helped put them in charge, Ralph.

Shove your book up your ass and retire.

4. Democrats should've paid attention to their base

If the Democrats didn't move so far to the right there wouldn't be any reason to pay attention to Nader.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

9. Democrats should have moved left? Nader got 2%. Fuck Nader.

11. Oh, so we're just gonna abandon progressive ideas because of Nader?

Yeah, let's move away from the legacy that brought forth the first ever minimum wage, the first labor standards, the birth of social security. Let's move towards the right and away from FDR's New Deal or Johnson's "War On Poverty."

Let's toss out the fucking baby with the bath water. :sarcasm:

[lvx35]

12. Agreed. Nader's support was a product of the DLC

There is no question about it. Democrats lost part of their constituency because some of them moved so far right, like lieberman. Nowadays they have spines and Nader is irrelevant

[Kahuna]

14. If that's what helps you make it through the night keep on

spouting that swill.

[400Years]

18. It is every bit as much lieberman's fault as Nader's.

The Nader haters like to ignore inconvenient facts.

[mdmc]

22. ouch

the truth hurts, it does!

[Rocket Surgeon]

7. It's not Ralph's fault,

that the Democrats failed to get what should have been a slam dunk election victory in 2000. Gore couldn't even take his own damned home state!

[Kahuna]

15. It IS Nader's fault. He saw that the MSM was in Dubya's pocket,

giving him an unfair advantage. Nader slipped in there and took full advantage. He's an idiot. He took a risk that we are all paying for now. I hold him equally responsible for the mess we're in right now.

[seabeyond]

16. he took $ from the repugs. you think nader is innocent

not his fault. you know in 2000 i could have let nader slide. in 2004 his behavior in so many ways, disgusted me. they are both the same. they are both the same. thanks for the money repugs

[chookie]

3. Oh WOW!

What a treat! I can't wait to see this tomorrow (I watch at 8:30 next day).

Stephen is adorable and I just love him.

[IChing]

5. welll, those comments were constructive

I still think that the populous knows when they are being ripped of and his debate with
Steven went well enough that drove in some core issues that made some people think.

[U4ikLefty]

6. Ah, the Dems blaming Nader for the own inadequacies again...LOL!!!

Some things never change.

[Pirate Smile]

10. Well, Nader sure was right. No difference between Bush and Gore.

:eyes:

[U4ikLefty]

17. Yawn!!!

Just like Gore invented the internet???

I guess we can all spout talking points.

I thought Gore WON the 2000 election...but hey, don't let me rain on your Nader hate-fest.

[Lost-in-FL]

8. .

:beer: :popcorn: Beer or popcorn anyone?

[Kahuna]

13. Did he gloat?

He did successfully aid and abet the repuke machine in taking over and ruining our country, afterall. :puke:

[Minnesota Libra]

19. That neocon money Nader took says more than anything else about...........

....where his loyalties truly are.

[TheFarseer]

21. Al Gore is not exactly Ben Nelson

(this is a general response to the thread) He has put forth alot of progressive ideas. He cares about the environment, was part of an administration that got gays in the military, and would not have allowed tax cuts for the rich. If the people that voted for Nader can't see that, then they just aren't paying attention.

[mdmc]

23. i love gore... i love nader

I love the new gore...
