1. Inconvenient truths.

Nader earned my enmity through this at the time. I have not lost that.

[Shagbark Hickory]

2. Yeah lets start a war over Nader. What a great way to start the day.

[MineralMan]

3. No war. Just facts.

Information is good. What you do with it is up to you.

[Shagbark Hickory]

8. Of course there was election fraud in floreeduh

but that was Nader's fault too I suppose.

[MineralMan]

10. That's a separate issue.

It's not reflected in the linked article. This article is about Nader's links to right wing funding and support. Lots of factors are in play in every election.

4. Nader is an ass, but doesn't this really belong in the "Ancient History" category?

If only we had such a thing....?

[MineralMan]

7. I don't think there is a forum like that.

General Discussion seems inclusive enough for historical information, I think. Many people may not remember this information. I think it serves a useful purpose, in reminding us that third party candidates are not always what they seem to be. It's a lesson some people have to relearn every four years or so.

9. It just seems an odd time to revisit the topic....unless Ralph is planning to poop in the punch YET

AGAIN....?

No fool like an old fool...

5. Just another diversion from our current problems.

Tomorrows topic will be Kucinich vs Martians. Followed by LoZoccolo's interview with The Easter Bunny.

11. Moderators, please do not delete this reply, because I think it is funny. n/t

6. Did you pay for this ad?

Given your obsession with Nader, it wouldn't surprise me.

12. Congrats! You figured out how to post a link instead of just a headline!

Now if you could join the rest of us in 2011...

16. This is not an official "Loco Zolo thread". n/t

18. Is it simply a "loco" thread?

13. Republican Contributions: $10.7 Million for Kerry vs. $111,700 for Nader

Who's Really in Bed with Republican Funders?
Republican Contributions: $10.7 Million for Kerry vs. $111,700 for Nader

Today, the Independent presidential campaign of Ralph Nader and Peter Miguel Camejo released the preliminary findings of research conducted by the Center for Responsive Politics. The findings demonstrate that Senator John Kerry has thousands of contributors who have supported the Republican Party. Kerry has more than ten million dollars donated by Republican donors.

The anti-Nader Democrats have spread their big lie to discredit Nader and silence his anti-war and progressive message that Kerry could not rebut. The anti-Naderites hired Stanley Greenberg to conduct surveys and focus groups to determine how best to smear Nader. They found that falsely claiming Nader was funded and controlled by Republicans was the most effective line they could use ­ a line that can’t pass the laugh test when compared to the facts. They announced their findings at the Democratic Convention and then spread the lie through the Naderfactor.com and the United Progressives for Victory.

But the reality was only 700 Republican contributions (no individuals, but individual contributions) had given donations to the Nader campaign and most of the contributors were people Nader had worked with on justice issues in the past. Even among these 700 the Democrats received more money than Nader-Camejo — $111,700 to $146,000. But, the Democrats continue to use the Big Lie ­ despite the facts.

Preliminary CRP results: 50,000 contributions who have given to President Bush or the Republicans have given $10,697,198 in large contributions to Kerry. This means 100 times more Republican money has been contributed to the Democrats campaign than to the Nader-Camejo campaign. That amount is five times the entire budget of the Nader Presidential campaign! These are preliminary results because there are so many that it is too expensive for the Center to review the donations for final results. Maybe an independent media outlet would like to try, rather than continue to repeat the corporate media’s reporting of the malicious Democratic fabrication that the campaign is funded by organized Republicans. We’re waiting for the full story on how the Kerry campaign is funded by the Republicans who play both sides of the two party duopoly.

23. Nader is a racist who called our president an Uncle Tom

He also accused him of "talking white." Why anyone takes this racist piece of shit seriously is beyond me. He used to be a great man. I'm a kid, but I remember reading about Nader's Raiders and all of the consumer protection projects he worked on. Now he is a bitter old prick, and he hates the fact that we have a black president. This makes him no different than the Republicans. I don't care if I get banned for saying it, but FUCK him. Fuck Nader.
