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.

I could not believe it. He has less than zero credibility.

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.

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.
