1. Warming up my popcorn

for the Attack of the Forehead Veins! :)

[corporatewhore]

2. bet someare upset prooccupation candidate wasnt invited to speakat an anti

occupation rally/demo

[mitchum]

3. In English, please?

[corporatewhore]

4. some people might be upset that kerry, a candidate running on a

pro occupation platform, probably wont be invited to speak at a anti occupation rally i need to go to bed it is late

[mitchum]

8. Sleep tight (the sleep of the righteous)

5. Do they sell pies at the event?

I could think of a use for one or two pies.

[DerekG]

11. I remember that day...

To my recollection, a number of DUers expressed great elation when that pie hit Nader--a man who probably saved more people than Kerry helped kill.

And considering the +10,000 who were murdered in Iraq due to the actions of both Republican and Democratic nominees, that's quite an accomplishment.

15. including my brother we were in a car crash and my mom was told that he

wouldnot have survived with out a seatbelt.Thank you mr.Nader for making sure every car has them

19. Nader is complicit in getting Bush into power

The deaths, the bad laws, the corruption, the danger that Bush has bestowed upon the World...Nader was the asshole that said there was no difference between the Repugs and Democrats. He helped get Bush into office.

Nader has done much more damage to America than you could admit. Now the scoundral wants to do it again.

I'll make sure I get a chance to pie that motherf*cker if he comes to my town.

6. And so he profits both ways

After all, he owns a small piece of each cruise missile made by Raytheon. He also invests in General Dynamics and Boeing as they bomb the people of Iraq, and Halliburton as it shortchanges our troops and makes a mockery of our country.

Yet idealistic but ignorant young people will pay him because they are against what those missiles, those bombs, and that corporation represent. :(

7. thats why we should vote green i like camejo and cobb

[DuctapeFatwa]

9. Is Peter Camejo going to speak? He would be better than Nader

[corporatewhore]

13. i think he might be doing some in calif. not sure though

[DuctapeFatwa]

14. They should fly him in and back. draftcamejo.org has a petitiion

and the rally is the ideal place to get more sigs on it and build up name recognition.

Note for those who need a note: Neither the Green Party nor Peter Camejo is considered to be a threat to Kerry, so mentioning the petition does not consitute either partisan organizing or attack.

10. How sad

We're scraping the bottom of the barrel

[Aidoneus]

12. What would you prefer?

Kerry or some other pro-occupation Democratic politician speaking there?

[QC]

18. Ralph nader is a saint who has come down to live among us!

(Somebody had to say it.)

[Lisa0825]

16. I heard about this on the radio this morning...

and now I am not sure I want to go. Maybe I'll stay and attend the Houston protest instead. I don't want to have anything to do with the Bush enabler.

[Cocoa]

17. Nader doesn't have much to say anymore

give me Kucinich any day.
