August 30, 2004Nader in bed with KKK ApologistsBy Byron LaMastersFurther proof that Ralph Nader will do anything to screw Democrats in 2004, just as he did in 2000:
So what did Ralph Nader have to say after learning that the leader of the party that has given him ballot lines in seven states is a Ku Klux Klan apologist?
Ralph Nader doesn't care. He'd probably take the Nazi Party line if it gave him ballot access in more states. He doesn't care about winning this election, or doing anything for democracy in America. Ralph Nader is a pathetic disillusioned activist who needs to hang up his boots, and call it a career. He did too much good for America prior to 2000 than to have his entire career be defined by his recalcitrance in hopeless crusades for president in 2000, and 2004 that only serve to dampen his otherwise exceptional career.

Could you please point to some evidence that Mr. O'Hara "is a Ku Klux Klan apologist?" That's quite a weighty accusation to make based on the lack of evidence in your post. If he is, in fact, a Klan apologist - that's one thing. But there's nothing in your post but innuendo. You say that "O'Hara is also an outspoken defender of Samuel Bowers," but what does this mean "an outspoken defender?" Later in the post you note that O'Hara "said he began defending the Klan leader after failing to find hard evidence of his guilt." So he's not defending the Klan, or Klan activities, or the activities for which Mr. Bowers was convicted - he thinks (or thought?) that Mr. Bowers was innocent of the charges? A lot of people think that Mumia Abu Jamal didn't kill Daniel Faulkner. I don't think that those people are "cop killer apologists" - I think they believe that a man was falsely accused. Moreover, lines like: "[Nader would] probably take the Nazi Party line if it gave him ballot access in more states" are just pathetic. Come on, you can do better than this. If Ralph Nader is associating with racists and Klan members, then he should certainly be called out on it. But as far as I can tell from what you present, you all are taking things out of context and blowing this out of proportion in an attempt to create a sensational smear campaign worthy of the SBVT. Ralph Nader is doing a fine job of making himself look like an irrelevant fool. Don't drag yourself down with him. o.k...
Anyone know if Larry Flint is speaking at UT during his visit to Austin this week. I know he is going to be at Bookpeople tonight, but I heard he was speaking on campus on Tuesday. Anyone know anything about this? Posted by: CJ Buchanan at August 30, 2004 12:16 PMFlynt is speaking tomorrow at 7 I believe at the Jester Auditorium. Posted by: Ramon at August 30, 2004 12:55 PMNader sucks. His delusional apologists want us to ignore him and his Republican backers while he misleads enough people into giving the Flightsuit-in-Chief another dubious four-year lease on the White House. When Nader retires, we will gladly ignore him. Posted by: Tim Z. at August 30, 2004 11:35 PMIs he meeting with West Virginia's senior Senator yet? Post a comment
