Ralph Nader sez Obama "Talks White"?
Edited on Wed Jun-25-08 11:39 AM by Husb2Sparkly
"Doesn't he want to sound like Jesse Jackson?"

Can we FINALLY agree this guy is out of his fucking mind?

1. Again with the comparisons to Jesse Jackson.
Fucking racists.

6. In what way?
I can read that two ways. One, they are trying to smear Obama by comparing him to a black man that many whites don't like, thus using the common thread of race to link Obama to a racial stereotypes whites can comfortably hate. Two, Jesse Jackson's a bad black man and Obama should not be compared to him.

11. If you see the clip, it was not a complimentary reference.

2. Any link or context on that?
Not doubting you, I'd just like to see that one in context.

4. Just heard it on MSNBC
They had a clip and a sound bite. I have a link to Raw Story which has it, too, up in the OP.

8. he lost his mind YEARS ago
when he decided the movement was about him and not the ideals.


with that being said, i tend to agree with the things nader says atleast 90% of the time.

this being in the 10% that i dont.

hes an egotistical a-hole, tis true... but he used to be a major champion of our progressive ideals... so keep that in mind.

9. i'm glad he said, maybe this will finally be enough for the Nader fans to realize
he brings nothing to the table. Nader could have had a good legacy but his bat shit crazy diatribes in the past 8 years are going to be what he's remembered for.

10. Whatever integrity Nader ever had has been
wasted. He has become over the years a very bitter man and has lost respect.

13. Lordy
I hope that finally puts the purer-than-thou types off him.

Half African-American? Excuse me, his father was African, not African-American.

18. Obama should reply, "Whatchu talkin' about, Willis?"
He can use humor to defuse a stupid comment by Nader. And Gary Coleman could use whatever positive attention comes his way, so it's really a win-win for everyone.
