Default Nader Says, "Whites just eat it up."

Nader: Obama 'talking white' : DNC candidates - Barack Obama : The Rocky Mountain News

Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader accused Sen. Barack Obama, the presumed Democratic Party nominee, of downplaying poverty issues, trying to "talk white" and appealing to "white guilt" during his run for the White House.

Jesus! This from a guy who's lost two elections and who insists on calling everyone and everything in government a corporate cave-in. Nadar's never been too good at ingratiating himself with voters, obviously.

I guess he wants Obama out there campaigning with a chicken wing in one and a piece of watermelon in the other and rapping about "da man." Because he's half Afro-American he's supposed to behave like some kind of stereotype Nadar has in mind? Well, maybe Nadar ought to campaign with a kaffiyeh and a Kalashnikov, since he's an Arab-American. That should really help him.

Obama has to appeal to everyone, not just the dispossessed in the ghettos of America.

So...keep it up, Ralph. You're doing just fine. [rolling my eyes]

Somewhat. How about you? You've not been on here much.

Spending time in the dangerous kitchen? If it's not one thing, it's another...

I guess if you roll John Kerry, Al Gore, and Hillary into a ball, they've lost 3 elections.

Is that your new criteria for losers?

Are you more of a loser if you "lose an election" (or allow it to be stolen), or if you lose a war?

I'm just askin...

I find this facinating because Nader's constituency has always been virtually universally white and suburban. The video of this is worth a watch.

2 stolen and one never-was.

Good. Nice reach, Smith. Air ball.

Sorry, dude.

It's remarkable for the impression that Nader leaves, in demeanor, in health and in hyperbole.

Kerry...maybe maybe not.

Clinton and Gore, yes. I think Gore in an ethically bankrupt, pandering, hypocrite. Madam Clinton is a ambitious to a fault.

Busy season for me. Spending time on the dangerous backhoe, playing with the dangerous power tools, and riding the dangerous motorcycles whenever possible.

That and a pronounced weariness of the excruciating in(s)anity that permeates the internet. Such as this.

Time for a vacation.

How about inviting me out for a visit, Smith? We'll take your Jeep up into the mountains and have a vision quest. I'll bring the hallucinogenic mushrooms... nothing better for clearing all those scary cobwebs out of your head and connecting with the universe.

Hell, I'll have ya huggin' trees and OMing with the Dali Lama in no time.

Sound like a plan?
