Nader called Clinton a draft dodger on the Randi Rhoades show.

[Robin Hood]

What more proof do we need that Ralph is a Republican operative? Why didn't he call bush a draft dodger? Answer: Because he is a Republican operative. Forget trying to appease him and his "people". They need to be run against just as we run against the Republicans.

[The Zanti Regent]

1. Shut up Chicken Hawk Ralph!

Hmmmm, wasn't Ralph a Chicken Hawk too??????????

[FDRrocks]

4. Doesn't "hawk" require being pro war?

[Robin Hood]

5. He came off real bad on her show.

He is a tool for the right wing. He showed himself to be an inept tool for the right wing. Further, the way he treated Randi showed that he hates women.

[KG]

6. nader is anti-war. so how could he be a chicken-hawk?

:eyes:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

9. If he's anti-war then why call Clinton a draft dodger?

I think the logic on this goes both ways. I don't know many anti-war activists that would call a person who evaded an unjust war a draft dodger.

[KG]

16. i don't know.

but what's that got to do with calling ralph a chicken hawk? don't recall him pushing the iraq invasion.

[jab105]

36. But I haven't heard him say much against the Iraq war?

I mean, complain about the Republicans...never really heard him do that...

[KG]

40. cause you ain't listening.

[PatrioticOhioLiberal]

Ralphie

How about chicken sh*t...noted mainly by the stench that follows him around...never realized ego smelled like that until Ralphie trotted his teensy weenie self back along the "campaign" trail.

[Rick Myers]

2. Ignore Nader.

He'll just go away.

[havocmom]

3. Message to Ralph: breathe deeply and think rationally

He is really making an ass of himself on air.

[Vickers]

7. How old is he? Which conflict did he fight in?

Then STFU, cowboy.

[Nlighten1]

8. Christ

Ralph is not a pub operative. He is trying to get the Dems to REALLY come back left. The problem is CORPORATIONS have bought our government.

http://gnn.tv/countdown


Watch it and learn about Ralph

[Robin Hood]

10. Bullshit.

I don't care what little video you got there. The proof is in the out come of his actions. The proof is in how he just dis-respected Randi Rhoades, and refused to answer her questions. If he really wanted to be an influence in democratic politics then why wasn't he debating in the Dem primaries like Kucinich, Braun and Sharpton?

If he ain't a pub operative, then he is an ego driven nut ball.

[Nlighten1]

42. He might be a nut ball...

but he is a real progressive nut ball. Watch the movie or stfu.

[LTR]

45. Nader is just an act

And a corporate tit-sucker.

Google and see just how much coporate money he's earned in the past few years.

He's just shilling his shit to what he hopes is a more gullible crowd.

I'm not biting, and I didn't in 2000.

Ralph Nader can kiss my ass.

[KG]

11. don't go spoiling the '2 minute hate'

the proles want their Victory Gin ration, dammit!

[Q]

20. Well...it keeps the blind faithful...

...from actually questioning the direction of the Democratic party. Hate Nader and ignore that the Dem party is becoming more 'conservative' with each election cycle. Pretty soon you'll be able to vote Democrat and Republican at the same time.

- The problem lies with a corrupt government and media selling US out to corporations while backing the creation of a one party state.

[PatrioticOhioLiberal]

25. Same old, same old

Gee, do I hear an echo?

Wasn't it the old, "there's no difference between D's & R's," Ralphie's rationale (assuming Ralphie has any rational thoughts) in 2000?

We all know what that got us don't we?

[Nlighten1]

43. Blaming Ralph for Bush being in office...

Is like blaming Kato Kalin for OJ killing Nichole.

[PatrioticOhioLiberal]

44. OJ walked

and we got shrub...and yes, I blame Ralphie...he's an egocentric jerk with delusions of grandeur. And I'm entitled to my opinion...one that is shared by many.

For those who don't share that opinion...that is also their right.

Ralphie thinks he's a king maker...all hail his most recent product of madness...G.W. Bushytushy.

Thanks but no thanks.

[Cassandra]

13. Amazing how we don't hear from him...

on the subjects he says he cares about between election seasons.

[Robin Hood]

17. Where has he been the past 3+ years that we have had to endure Bush?

Nowhere!! he only comes out to bash Dems when it is convenient for the republicans. Fuck Ralph.

[Old and In the Way]

28. Quite an insightful point.

I guess his outrage comes every 4 years.

Ralph is against corporations, but as far as I know he hasn't given his portfolio dividends to charity. And just what is Ralph saying he would do to combat the evil of corporations? Make them illegal?

He is using corporations as some kind of tactical wedge to lump democrats and republicans as "pro-corporation"....in 2000, it was the "dems are no different from the repubs". In 2004 it's, "dems and repubs are bought by corporations". New meme, same bullshit.

[messiah]

12. Ralph Nader is a veteran

Oops...........

[NightTrain]

15. That can't be. He was born in 1934.

That would've made Nader 11 years old when WW2 ended in 1945.

[maveric]

22. Korea was from 1950-53. He may have been.

He was 18 in 52 and the war was in full court press then.

[messiah]

30. I think he served in a infantry unit.

[Dookus]

33. No, he did not

He was in college until 1958. Not a single online biography mentions any military service.

[messiah]

35. Guess your right but I'm still investigating.........

I did hear somewhere that he served in some war.

[KC21304]

18. I don't think so !

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

34. Ralph is NOT a veteran... not of Korea....

Ralph Nader was born in Winsted, Connecticut to Nathra and Rose Nader, Lebanese immigrants who operated a restaurant and bakery. Nader's dream of becoming a "people's lawyer" was instilled in him in adolescence by his parents, who in noisy free-for-alls, conducted family seminars on the duties of citizenship in a democracy. Mark Green, a former Nader associate, said that "When (the Naders) sat around the table growing up it was like the Kennedys. Except that the subject was not power but justice."

Following his graduation in 1951 from Gilbert School, Nader entered the Woodrow Wilson School of International Affairs at Princeton University. Graduating magna cum laude in 1955, with a major in government and economics, Nader enrolled in Harvard Law School. He became an editor of the Harvard Law Review, and after graduating with honors, set up a small legal practice and traveled widely.

CHeck the dats....

[supernova]

14. Let Ralph rant and rave

He'll become irrelevant anyway. He's too liberal for the neocons, and he's too "you're all the same" for liberals.

I heard this this afternoon, his visit is about to get a whole lot uglier. He didn't do himself any favors here.

[Malva Zebrina]

19. I heard him say that

and I wondered what was the motivation.

It was not necessary to the issue at hand.

Rhodes let it go by

But, it showed his true feelings.

We do not need people like this "has been" appearing on liberal talk radio for the purpose of bashing liberals .

Nader is out to bash the Democrats and that I am sure of after this appearance on the Randi Rhodes show . He is trite, petulant, and unable to admit the truth, but prefers to uphold his delusions.

He is, in other words, an incompetant, and perhaps is suffering from some mental disease. He has no concern for this country--if he did, he would back down, simply to present a united front against the idiot Bush.

[GordonOKC]

23. I agree

I'm so proud of Randi saying to Ralph what needed
to be said.

[NWHarkness]

21. Ralph smears Democrats constantly

And when Democrats stand up to him, they get attacked again by some within our own ranks.

And the republicans win and win and win...

[rpannier]

24. Did It Ever Occur To Anyone That...

Ralph is beginning to realize that he has become obsolete in American politics and that by inserting himself into politics the way he has, it is the only way he can stay "relevant"?

[supernova]

26. Yep

That's why he left consumer advocacy a long time ago.

[madrchsod]

27. doesn`t anyone remember

ralphie and his little love-fest with the republicans right after bush`s installation? that little dinner date he was invited to...

[Robin Hood]

31. You mean the dinner with his tru love Phillys Schafly.

He was probably there to pick up his check and get a pat on the back.

[aquart]

29. Ralphie is an egomaniacal creep.

I actually hate him more than Bush. I never expected anything different from Bush.

[Robin Hood]

32. I do think it's telling that Ralph called Clinton a draft dodger.

Those are Republican talking points memos. All the more proof that he is a republican waterboy.

[Karenina]

37. Give it up!

Girls, who you gonna do? Wm. Jefferson or BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I cannot believe I'm even asking!!! The Dog is neither in office nor calling the shots. Getting off on it is a sign of dysfunction. :evilgrin:

[fujiyama]

38. Not the first time

for Ralph to side with the right. He also said Clinton deserved to be impeached. He's rightwing scum. I don't trust him or his motivations. You're right -- he is a right wing mole. He doesn't care about the future of his country. He also really wants to keep Bush's tax cuts in place for his personal financial gain.

[ButterflyBlood]

39. how fucking stupid

and who fucking cares? Is being a draft dodger a bad thing. I'd sure as hell be one if I was alive during Vietnam, and I'd be one now if * reinstated the draft. I will never serve in the military, period, end of story.

[messiah]

41. But in what context?

[Liberal_Dog]

46. I'm Sure Another Check From Karl Rove Is Already In The Mail
