Ralph Nader Campaign: "Obama Has No Nuts"

[malik flavors]

Ralph Nader’s 2008 presidential campaign has been defined by bizarre Web videos intended to attract attention away from the two major-party candidates. So it should be little surprise that in the campaign’s final days, he’s doing it one last time.

The subject line of the release announcing the video: "Nader Campaign says Obama has no nuts."

The video, “The Obama Nuts,” debuted Sunday and chronicles an "Obama supporter," at least according to the release, wearing a Nader T-shirt and in search of said nuts.

The video, which is heavy on use of the word "nuts," says it is using the definition provided in Slate’s “Encyclopedia Baracktannica:” “a representation of Barack Obama’s courage and willingness to act.”

The video concocts a fake CNN broadcast and uses Obama’s actual voice from a speech in which he says, “We need them. We need them badly. Not just my campaign, but the American people need their service and their vision and their wisdom.”

Still, it remains a distinct possibility that Nader will not win the election on Tuesday and that Obama may. Were that to occur, Politico asked Nader’s spokesman, Toby Heaps, would Nader be willing to take a job in the Obama administration, should one be offered?

“I think he would consider a consumer czar-type position, where he had a broad mandate to help organize consumers of varying stripes (financials, shareholders, utilities) to hold their various corporate behemoths to account and ensure fair and transparent delivery of their services,” Heaps said in an e-mail. “After what's just happened on Wall and Main Street with the mortgage fiasco and bailout, there would be widespread citizen interest in joining these types of consumer unions.”

[Arkana]

6. Ralph can take his Titanic-sized ego and cram it into his rectum.

Although he might have trouble, what with his head being up there already.

8. bad moves

from Nader.

His recent rally in Portland Oregon became nothing more than a free-for-all insult fest directed against his opponents, which saddens me, because I know that the guy is at least intelligent.

9. Did you hear something?

It sounded just like an irrelevant man speaking from somewhere far, far away...

10. Still trying to get everyone's attention I see.

[malik flavors]

11. It's pretty funny that at the same time he's looking for a role in an Obama administration.

[BlooInBloo]

12. Fuck Nader. Fuck Nader supporters.

13. Every time I think I've reached the bottom of my dislike of Nader

something comes along to make me hate him more.

He's like a whiny six-year-old, shreiking for attention. He has no agenda besides 'PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!'

[Liberal Veteran]

18. He's got that Lyndon Larouche thing going on.

Perennial candidate with a very small but somewhat loyal base. Batshit crazy. Egotistical.

[Liberal Veteran]

19. self delete

dupe.

[undeterred]

23. Except now he's a 74year whiny old man who really should not

be running for lots of reasons. His candidacy adds nothing to the conversation and he looks like a fool. Those of us who remember the good things he's done don't even bother to bring it up any more.

[Milspec]

24. Crap he's 74!

I thought I was old

[undeterred]

27. Older than McAncient.

And although I don't think we should spell it out, we should discourage people of a certain age from running for president!

[Danmel]

14. And he knows this how?

[BeyondGeography]

15. And there was no difference between Bush and Gore

Go away, old man.

[Liberal Veteran]

16. Poor little Ralphie Wiggum Nader.

[depakid]

17. Nader would be the perfect choice to head the FTC

and it would be fun to see the Nader hater's heads explode! :evilgrin:

[vaberella]

20. Nader thinks he's the Republican candidate. Did he forget McCain?! n/t

[FVZA_Colonel]

21. Why is he doing everything he can to put a Republican into the White House?

[progressivebydesign]

22. No.. I'm sorry but Nader is RIGHT on this one!!!

Obama does NOT have nuts..... working in his campaign. The Nader Campaign.. well.. it has ONE confirmed NUT! Look up the word "irrelevant" in the dictionary and see Nader's vulture like face on that page.

[AtomicKitten]

25. STFU, Ralph.

[book_worm]

26. Nader is nuts enough for everybody.

[debbierlus]

28. I actually agree with Nadar's position policies more then Obama, but he needs to stop it

It really isn't funny. Obama is what we have, and he needs to stop this bs.
