Ralph Nader's 50 years of fighting for car safety

You might think that I'm posting this article to say something positive about Ralph Nader, but I'm not. I'm going to post a link to a positive piece about him, which you can protest by not clicking on it. Join me in protest, and do not click on the link.

2. "You might think that I'm posting this article to say something positive about Ralph Nader"

Don't worry, I doubt many will think that.

3. I know Ralph Nader is one of the great leaders of our time.

'nuff said.

5. On DU, would it be possible to place the name "Ralph Nadar" on Ignore?

I would dearly love that feature.

[Forkboy]

6. Uh oh. I see a new DU feature in the future.

A hide thread option by keywords! :)

Here's the admin's reactions to this idea, I'm sure....

[elocs]

10. Actually, that's it exactly. Nader aside, imagine being able to easily ignore threads

rather than one by one based upon a key word or words (anyone could think of something they would like to so easily ignore). Now that would really be a feature worth having. If such a thing were set up and running, would the admins really have much hair-pulling to do?

17. I'd put 'Liz Cheney' on that list

no need to hear anything from that thing

[Better Believe It]

7. Why not just engage in another swiftboat type smear campaign against him?

Isn't that a lot more fun?

[scheming daemons]

9. For the past decade or so, Nader has swiftboated himself better than anyone else could have....

[Better Believe It]

16. Do you also believe that John Kerry swiftboated himself?

That would make just as much sense.

[avaistheone1]

19. Pure nonsense.

Carry on with your foolishness.

[dionysus]

18. well, he has his swiftboat campaign against nader, and you have yours against Obama, so you're

realllllly one to talk about swiftboating...

at least loz, as ridiculous as he is, is swiftboating a known tool.

:rofl:

[olkaz]

13. That would be awesome!

I'd love that functionality. Also, auto-ignore any poster that uses certain terms!

Get on it!

[LoZoccolo]

14. You could, but you would still see this thread. n/t

8. Smolderbait

Just once it would be nice to see a constructive, intelligent post from you, but I doubt that's ever going to happen.

[Moochy]

11. I love ...

that DU appreciates the mighty centrist hoofs' offal posts as much as I do! Viva Unrec!

[S_E_Fudd]

12. I like it!

I just Un-UnRecommended it!!! :)

15. I alway give Nader credit for the huge heavy lifting he did on behalf of the American people

just as I seldom fail to slam him for his wrongheaded campaigning.

It is clearly not one or the other but both.
