Race Issues matter to the Democrats

So long as you aren't a far lefty

If Ralph Nader doesn't stop dropping the N-bomb, Al Sharpton is going to wash out his mouth with soap.
"Nader is not a racist by any stretch of the imagination," Sharpton told me yesterday. "He has a good track record. But he ought to be sensitive that he does not sanitize that word."

Speaking Wednesday night at a Washington fund-raiser to retire the debt from his 2004 presidential campaign, Nader complained that Democratic Party powerbrokers had kept him off the ballot in such Southern states as Georgia and Virginia - which reminded him of the oppressive Jim Crow laws that denied African-Americans equal rights.

"I felt like a [n-word]," remarked the 70-year-old white multimillionaire graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School.

I really think that puts it all in perspective doesn't it?

But the Moral farce wouldn't be complete without Al Sharpton (making me proud of my Democratic Primary vote)

"If Ed Koch had said what Ralph Nader said, we'd be marching," Sharpton noted. "This [scolding] doesn't rise to the level of a march. It rises to the level of a wrist slap."

Yesterday, Nader told me he was using the word in the same spirit as the Black Panthers of the 1960s - "as a word of defiance."

The Judges are still out, but I am thinking of much like the Oscars giving Ralph Nader a Citizen of Mars award based upon his career lunacy

and folks, isn't it nice to know that a consumer advocate became rich by scaring you

And this is the Green Party's A lister

Really puts them in perspective

So In Review
Former Klansman with a D next to his name, who still makes racist comments -no problem-
Saluting A former segregationists but having an R next you your name -bad-
Saluting a former segregationist but having a D next to your name -good-
Making a joke about black wait staff being the only way you would get them at a republican meegting -no problem-
