Honourary soul brotha Ralph Nader was utterly shocked when Illinois State University president (and alleged POC) Al Bowman declined to sip from the third party pimp cup – photo by Andrew Benning
Re: “talking white” – what Shark-Fu said:
Black is not a monolith and we do not all think, act, talk, eat, pray, fuck, sing, dance, vote or manifest anger the exact same motherfucking way.
You goddamn fucking right.
Also see Liss, Steve M, and Ta-Nehisi Coates for more on Nader’s racist dumbfuckery.
Ralph is a little crude but correct. Obama is raking in millions from lobbyists and CEOs – he’s no threat to big business, to Wall Street, to polluters, to payday loan operators, to the Israeli right wing, the insurance companies (no single payer health care) , hedge funds, the nuclear power industry seeking subsidies. and so on down the line. His statements to AIPAC were a disgrace. Obama is the 1st candidate since 1972 to avoid public financing and the rules that go with it.
The closer to the election we get he will morph into McCain Lite – and it’s all just marketing anymore.
If Ralph apologizes for being crude, what position of Obama’s could possibly improve?
Well said Gerty, and I agree!
The truth is:
nobama = mcPain
There simply is no real difference between them!
The scientifically impossible I do right away
The spiritually miraculous takes a bit longer
Ah, I was waiting for the inevitable visit from the OG bitter-enders:
Naderites.
After the past 8 fucking years (thanks for that, btw) you actually have the nerve to once again pull that bogus “no difference” frame out from the depths of your cavernous nether region?
Seriously–get a fucking life.
