UPDATE 2: Wow. Kissing the ass of Shepherd Smith. Never thought I'd see it on Daily Kos. You people ARE suckers. What Nader said was that Obama could be the true progressive fighter he promised to be to all of us who busted our asses getting him elected, or he could be an Uncle Tom sellout to his corporate and lobbyist masters (from whom he has disturbingly taken so much and for whom he has significantly altered his positions - remember "one Jerusalem?" - not even Republicans went that far to placate AIPAC.)
Don't like the term "Uncle Tom?" Then substitute the world "pimp." Oh wait, that's racist too!!! Let's all keep arguing about this shit while our progressive agenda is abandoned. Real smart.
UPDATE 2 - CONT: And as far as putting a tip jar in the thread below so you can pull ratings abuse on me, fuck you. When ratings abuse is monitored and controled and people learn how to use tip jars, I will. Tip jars are for TIPS; don’t like the diary, then move on and don’t leave a tip. Downrating tip jars is the same as stealing a tip jar off the deli counter if you didn’t like the service.
UPDATE 1: Unless you're totally hopeless (I know progressive standards have slipped here at DKos lately), Nader is the only semi-mainstream political figure that's speaking truth on the issues of corporate and special interest lobbyist influence on BOTH candidates. We should all applaud his efforts to hold Obama to the progressive promises he made to us and that got him the election. Oh, and don't worry about Nader spoiling things for Democrats - he's been effectively frozen out of the election process along with the other 3rd party candidates.
This is great. Alleged "newscaster" Shepherd Smith tries to bully Ralph Nader with typical Fox theatrics, and gets OWNED.
Love the fake pauses and phony indignation. How much you wanna bet Smith doesn’t even know what "Uncle Tom" means. He’s got the dumbed-down world understanding of a Sarah Palin.
Nice try, "Shep." The only thing irrelevant now is you and your network.
