Why Did Ralph Nader Accuse Pro Choice And Pro Gay Rights Activists

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Of Practicing Gonadal Politics?


That's like the fucking Shakers.....

1. I dunno--why did Ralph say (in the infamous Outside

mag interview)--that he was going to go after progressives like Paul Wellstone and Russ Feingold next? (After he'd thrown the presidential election to Bush, I mean).

"Stealth Freeper" is too polite a term. It's clear this guy is more and more a very UNstealthy Neocon.

2. Cuz Ralph Nader Thinks He Can Destroy The Democratic Party

And Replace it With The Greens....

The man's a blithering fool....


There's a greater chance that Jerry Falwell will preside over gay weddings than the Greens will replace the Democrats...

3. because he didn't.

As I recall, the remark was directed at the issues themselves, not the activists on either side.

Nader has his blinders like anyone else in politics. He inhabits the world of corporate politics and fights against that. The "gonadal" comment wasn't his finest hour, but the view was that it was a distraction from the issue of corporatism, not a wrong.

5. Why Is The Problem Of "Corporatism"

More Important Than My Right To Fuck Who I Want Or For A Woman To Get A Safe Abortion...

If my memory serves me correct the only freedom Winston Smith had left in Orwell's 1984 was to have sex with his girlfriend...

8. I don't think it is.

I don't think it's any less important, either. As I say, Nader has blind spots like anyone else.

6. Just how pure does Nader think he is?

And does he still own stock in war weapon companies, plus polluter companies?
