Nader: “He(Obama) wants to show that he is not a threatening, a political threatening, another politically-threatening African-American politician.” He is talking white — “He wants to appeal to white guilt.”

Independent ‘Narcissist,’ presidential candidate and spoiler, Ralph Nader took a jab at Barack Obama on Monday (see transcript below)

Yes, this is the same Nader that denied Al Gore the votes he needed to win Florida convincingly, in 2000 — in order to beat the current US “President,” Right-Wing ReTHUGlican dictator George Bush.

Mr. Nader’s got what he wanted in 2000 and 2004 — to punish the Democrats. He dit it, and now he’s back to do it again.

As the Green Party candidate in 2000, Nader won 2.74 percent of the national vote (including 97488 votes in Florida), placing third. But many Democrats [ME TO] blame him for siphoning off votes in key states, especially Florida, that might have gone to Democratic nominee Al Gore. Bush won Florida by 537 votes (Stolen Votes) and won the election after a 5-4 decision in the U.S. Supreme Court settled a protracted dispute over the Florida vote.

Ralph knows damn well that he cannot win, but will again siphon votes from the Democratic nominee — Barack Obama, and possibly help elect another Republican THUG.

Nader is a delusional narcissist who is destroying his own legacy with these fruitless presidential runs. In a year when the race appears to be tighter than ever, Nader might just be what John McBOMB, Bush’s chosen “Heir to The Slaughterhouse” needs to beat Obama.

Ralph, the “white power structure” you are talking about is so vast and so complex — no one black, white, yellow man or woman will beat it during my time on this earth.

It will require a revolution to do that — probably by other white men and/or women) ….and not Obama.

He (Obama) has just but poked this power structure with one “tiny nail,” and can only “bob and weave” his way around the Labyrinth.

For now — that’s good enough for most of us, and should be for you too.

Partial transcript of Ralph Nader’s comments

Below is a partial transcript of independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader’s comments to the Rocky Mountain News about presumed Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama. The interview was conducted on Monday at Nader’s campaign headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Q: “Do you see Barack Obama as qualitatively different than Al Gore or any other Democrats. He talks about taking on lobbyists, not taking money directly from lobbyists … People portray him as being different. Do you see him as being any better than Al Gore or any of the other Democrats that you’ve opposed over the years?”

Nader: “No. I mean, he’s deceiving people. He takes, he takes … In this very building he would take money from corporate lawyers who are not registered lobbyists but whose desks are across the aisle from corporate lawyers who are registered lobbyists in the same law firm. That has been reported more than once in the mainstream press … Six out of seven industries, as of a month ago, have given more money to Obama than they have to McCain, only the transportation industry is more equal opportunity corruption.

“Look at the health care industry. It has poured money into his campaign. The securities industry, the defense industry. No.

“There’s only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He’s half African-American. Whether that will make any difference, I don’t know. I haven’t heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What’s keeping him from doing that? Is it because he wants to talk white? He doesn’t want to appear like Jesse Jackson? We’ll see all that play out in the next few months and if he gets elected afterwards.”

“I think his main problem is that he censors himself. He knows exactly who has power, who has too much, who has too little, what needs to be done right down to the community level. But he has bought the advice that if you want to win the election, you better take it easy on the corporate abuses and do X, Y, Z. When I hear that I say, ‘Oh, I see. So he’s doing all this to win the election, and then he’ll be different.

“Well let’s see if it worked. Did it work for Mondale? Did it work for Dukakis? Did it work for Clinton? Yes, but only because of Perot? Did it work for Gore? Did it work for Kerry … ?”

Q: “Do you think he’s trying to, what was your term, ‘talk white?‘”

NADER: “Of course. I mean, first of all, the number one thing that a black American politician aspiring to the presidency should be is to candidly describe the plight of the poor, especially in the inner cities and the rural areas, and have a very detailed platform about how the poor is going to be defended by the law, is going to be protected by the law, and is going to be liberated by the law. Haven’t heard a thing.

“I mean, the amount of economic exploitation in the ghettos is shocking. You’d think he’d propose a task force to at least study it. I mean, these people are eroded every day. The kids, bodies are asbestos and lead, municipal services discriminate against them because it’s the poor area, including fire and police protection and building code enforcement. And then the lenders, the loan sharks get at them, and the dirty food ends up in the ghettos, like the contaminated meat. It’s a dumping ground for shoddy merchandise. You don’t see many credit unions there. You don’t see many libraries there. You don’t see many health clinics there. This is, we’re talking 40-50 million Americans who are predominantly African-Americans and Latinos. Anybody see that kind of campaigning? Have you seen him campaign in real poor areas of the city very frequently? No, he doesn’t campaign there.”

Q: “What do you think the purpose of that is?”

NADER: “He wants to show that he is not a threatening, a political threatening, another politically-threatening African-American politician.”

“He wants to appeal to white guilt. You appeal to white guilt not by coming on as a black is beautiful, black is powerful. Basically he’s coming on as someone who is not going to threaten the white power structure, whether it’s corporate or whether it’s simply oligarchic. And they love it. Whites just eat it up.”

Al Gore: “After eight years even our cats and dogs know that elections matter.” “After eight years of incompetence, neglect and failure, we need change,” added Gore

In an email message to supporters prior to endorsing Barack Obama last night in Detroit, Michigan — Nobel Prize Winner and former US Vice-President, Al Gore said:

From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.

Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges — including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis. Barack Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America.

This moment and this election are too important to let pass without taking action.

In desperation, Hillary Clinton is now explicitly referring to her appeal to “Hard-Working Americans, White Americans,” adding that she appeals to a wider coalition of voters — including whites who have not supported Barack Obama in recent contests.

“I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,” she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article “that found how Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”

“There’s a pattern emerging here,” she said.

Clinton’s blunt remarks about race came a day after primaries in Indiana and North Carolina dealt symbolic and mathematical blows to her White House ambitions.

Larry Sabato, head of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, notes quite correctly that at the end of the day her primary support doesn’t prove she’s more electable. Either Democrat will get “the vast majority” of the other’s primary election votes in a general election, he said, adding that Clinton’s comment was a “poorly worded” variation on the way analysts have been “slicing and dicing the vote in racial terms.” …..[more]

I construe Hillary’s comments as a suggestion that “blacks are lazy,”….a racial stereotype I expect to come from a ReTHUGlican and not a Democrat.

“Her statement seems to exclude African-Americans from being hard-working,” said Jamal Simmons, a Democratic strategist and CNN contributor, aligned to the Obama campaign, who is black. “Also, there are a lot of white Americans for Barack Obama. So it’s misleading and it’s not true,” said Mr. Simmons.

Mr. Simmons added:

“There is a very particular feeling that this couple(Bill and Hillary Clinton), that African-Americans had such regard for and trust in, has been at best dismissive towards Barack Obama and in many ways has used race and differentness as a weapon against him.”

Senator Diane Feinstein, a Clinton backer, has also indicated she wanted to hear “what Clinton’s strategy is,” adding: “The race is reaching a point now where there are negative dividends from it in terms of strife within the party.”

“Duck Hunting” Ma. Clinton however, appears unmoved by the “sniper-fire,” telling cheering supporters yesterday, in Charleston, West Virginia that the state’s primary next Tuesday, which she is expected to win, was “a test for me and a test for Senator Obama.”

I also find it odd that Latino voters who have been supporting her in large numbers are not included in the “Hard Working White” coalition….and what about blacks? Won’t she need the most consistently loyal Democratic party voting block, if she becomes the nominee?

The “Bitch of Chappaqua, New York” is in full Kamikaze (suicide) Mode….The “Hill” has become so selfish she doesn’t mind destroying the Democratic Party,…. and the “bitching and moaning” does not bode well for future female candidates.

LOL!

This woman is running amok, and if the DNC does not quickly “reject and denounce,” her — she will drive such a monumental wedge between the voters so much so that it will be next to impossible to unite the party for the general election.

Al Gore, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and other big-wigs of the Democratic party need to step in and get this witch out of the race, before her “toxic waste” does extreme damage to the party…..and to Bill’s already “Lewinsky-Stained” legacy.

On the other hand, if she decides to ’surrender’ within the next week or two, it will a ‘joy’ to watch Hillary stumping enthusiastically for Obama in the general election — essentially denying her current charge(s); that Obama is elitist and out of touch with middle-America.

Can’t wait for that… LOL!

Prof. Ken Bode
Today, 80 percent of Americans think our country is on the wrong track.

With a cratering economy, an endless war in Iraq and an uncomprehending president, that is understandable. Rarely has there been a moment when clarity of choice and opportunity for change has been so clear.

On Tuesday, Indiana voters have a monumental opportunity to help set our country on a new course.

I have cast an early vote for Sen. Barack Obama, and I’ll tell you why.

In the Democratic primary, the choice is between experience and judgment. For all the experience she extols, Hillary Clinton still carries the albatross of her opportunistic vote favoring the Iraq war. She explains lamely that she didn’t realize President Bush would take her blank check and cash it. Obama rightly opposed the war from the start.

Both candidates say they would get out of Iraq, but Obama would approach the necessary regional security arrangements in the Middle East by opening a dialogue with states like Syria and Iran, abandoning the stubborn silence of the Bush policies. Clinton approaches the problem with threats to obliterate Iran with “massive retaliation.” Her rhetoric is drawn from the Cold War past, revealing the “bring-them-on” mentality of Bush.

Overall, Obama represents the best chance we have to address the greatest threat facing America, the stateless terrorism of the Islamic world. As The Atlantic magazine’s Andrew Sullivan said, if you seek the simplest and most effective weapon against the demonization of America that fuels Islamist ideology, Obama’s face gets close. It proves them wrong about America in ways no words can. Obama’s mere presence in the Oval Office would help defuse anti-American passions around the world.

The electorate also is hungry for change in the way our government does business at home. Clinton has more experience in Washington, but that has not helped her to understand its problems. She solicits money from special interests and picked a major lobbyist to run her campaign. Judging by their different policies, Obama’s shorter time in Washington is more an asset than a handicap.

The most important reason that Indiana voters should support Obama on Tuesday is that he represents America’s greatest opportunity to pivot away from the past. While Clinton talks about change, Obama embodies it. He radiates a sense of possibility and has a proven ability to engage and inspire young people to public service like no candidate since John F. Kennedy. He has produced a nationwide surge of new voters, in itself an expression of the nation’s hunger for change. For the past 20 years, two families, the Bushes and Clintons, have run the country, longer than the newest voters — and many serving in Iraq — have been alive. Obama would change that.

Too late for many, Obama finally and firmly denounced the pronouncements of his preacher. Rev. Jeremiah Wright now takes his place in the pantheon of pastors who bring strange ideas from the pulpit to politics.

Bush supporter Rev. Jerry Falwell claimed the 9/11 attacks occurred because American secularism had forfeited God’s protection.

Rudy Giuliani backer Pat Robertson claimed that accepting homosexuality could result in earthquakes, tornados and a possible meteor. And John McCain’s supporter, televangelist John Hagee, said Hurricane Katrina was God’s punishment for a New Orleans gay rights parade. Politicians cannot be held responsible for the crazy rantings of preachers.

Voters also must remember that the Clintons represent a partnership of endless uncertainty. Bill Clinton squandered the last two years of his presidency by recklessly dallying with Monica Lewinsky, producing impeachment, and jeopardizing the election of Al Gore. Had that not happened, America would not be in Iraq today. In our choice on Tuesday, Hillary and Bill Clinton clearly represent the past, a page turned backward, and Barack Obama represents the future.

While endorsing Obama, a former Clinton administration official put it this way: “I don’t think I’m ready for the circus to come back to town.”

Former US Vice President — Al Gore JR.
Click image to view larger picture
Former Vice President Al Gore Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today along with a United Nations panel that monitors climate change for their work educating the world about global warming and advocating for political action to stop it.

News of Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize was received with delight across Europe, where President Bush is deeply unpopular.

“He’s the evidence that America is still capable of intelligent discourse,” said Peter Kellner, who heads the British polling firm YouGov. According to Kellner, opinion polls show that British people generally admire America and Americans but strongly dislike Bush.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called Gore “inspirational,” and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said he hoped Gore’s honor would encourage world leaders to “approach this challenge even more swiftly and decisively.”

…More!

This award of monumental prestige has breathed just a “whisper of resuscitation” on to the United States, a country in a “negative moral spiral,” in the eyes of the world.

King George Bush and Sheik Osama Bin Laden will go down in history, alongside blood-thirsty maggots like Hitler, Idi Amin and co. — as leaders responsible for unleashing the worst terror on humankind, in the last 100 years.

And both are going to get away with it, it seems!

The United Nations which since inception, has been primarily responsible for the prosecution of crimes against humanity should hold these two responsible in an International Criminal Court, for the commission of large scale atrocities against people of the United States and Iraq.

This is the only way to restore America’s lost moral glory, and re-establish much of the prestige that the number one nation in the world has lost in the last six years, operating under the clamps of a Republican THUG administration.

Al Gore looks scholarly, measured and passionate, while “King George” scoots like a frightened deer running amok — Recklessly spending tax payer money on a “war of lies,” and unleashing terror on immigrants to satisfy his ‘blood-thirsty’ right-wing loons.

As I write, the US Government agency ‘ICE’ in collaboration with local governments of intolerant and racist communities, mostly in southern United States, are in “duck” hunting season — they are unleashing terror on immigrants, causing untold suffering of immigrant families, especially those of “brown skin.”(Latinos)

One-Track minded bigots blinded with Racism and drunk with “Patriotism” are running amok atop pick-up trucks, draped in confederate flags, in the countryside. All because of Bush’s mis-handled domestic policies, catalyzed by the incessant cackling of “jingoistic propangandist extortionist” media pundits pontificating recklessly to the maniacally racist imbeciles in right-wing America — CNN’s self-appointed “populist,” the despicable “distortionist fabricationist,” Lou Dobbs comes to mind.

This bloodthirsty chorus by anti-immigration hate groups, politicians, and a paranoid media echoes in the belly of America with a ferocity that makes immigrants shudder like helpless Negro in 1920’s America.

Every time a Republican president is in power for a prolonged period of time, the “dormant fangs” or racism awaken with a roar that shakes the American psyche to the bone.

The Bush legacy of lies, “water-boarding,” “illegal-combatant torture,” military and police terror, war profiteering, and racist immigrant bashing, is in high gear — revving like a “Confederate Nascar machine.”

Run Al, Run …..to take back what legitimately belongs to you: “The White House.”

To those ReTHUGliMAGGOTS, the “Flat Earth ‘Confederate’ Society,” the “God People” a.k.a American Taliban Inc., the Minuteman plus all other extremists groups in America calling for physical and moral carnage — an overwhelming majority, and science agrees with Al Gore….so shove it!

God didn’t create Global Warming!!

This issue is sewn, sealed and posted at the feet of Al Gore — with 1.5 Million Dollars to boot!

Pay attention, you un-schooled “Bible Drunk” troglodytes, your “convenient lies” and conspiracy theories on Al Gore and Global Warming have been quashed, permanently!
