I'm black this didn't bother me at all Jesse Jackson threatening to de-ball obama or fixed news terrorist fist jab comments where much more offensive imo.
lol, this is hilarious. If the shoe fits... the shoe fits! Obama is an uncle tom! What's next? Are they going to get mad when someone calls Obama black? HELLO! He is black! HELLO! He is turning his back on the working people! If he is black and turning his back on workers, then by definition, he is an Uncle Tom. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. I hate people who insist on being politcally correct all the time and fear offending people. Glad to see that Ralph Nader isn't one of those people.
This just in. Obama halts a unanimous scientific panel advisory of the EPA to reduce the smog-causing ozone standard in order to protect the health of Americans. This is the same thing Bush pulled after coal industry lobbied him to leash his EPA. Obama is turning out to be one heck of an Uncle Tom by doing exactly what Bush did 4 years ago, even though he was supposedly working on change.
Our leaders are not leading. They need to put their feet in the shoes of working Americans…. Instead, all they think about is re-election and implementing United Nations Agenda 21 and ICELI. If you don't know what UN Agenda 21 and ICELI are, then LEARN before you vote! It's why Obama did nothing to help US people--Obama wants WORLD redistribution of wealth.
Obama - NEVER had a choice. He is a corporate tool just as much as any of his predecessors. He does exactly what he is told by those who elected him. Nothing more, nothing less. People need to realise the 'democracy' we have he is scam.
I might have been outraged at Nader myself at the time, had I caught that remark, but looking back it turns out he was spot-on. Obama is a corporate Uncle Tom, continuing Bush's disastrous policies. And the tragedy is, the morons who don't pay attention, to whom he is a socialist, will later think the economy was tanking because of a leftist, hippie, flower power administration rather than a continuation of pandering to K-Street and every lobby under the sun...
Shepard Smith *is* a bully and he's obviously trying to make Nader seem "insignificant" and a racist in the most facile, childish manner possible. But I guess at the Goebbles school of propaganda and PR that's the first thing they teach you: say something simple-minded and repeat it over and over. Nevermind truth or common decency.
I voted for Obama, and willl vote for Obama again in 2012 simply because the republicans are really that bad, but I'd take Nader over Obama as president.
@DF1234567 : If you would take Nader over Obama as president then for God's sake vote Nader. There's absolutely no point and very little time left for the "lesser of 2 evils" idea: The dems & reps are now far too alike & far too dangerous to the American people because Wall Street now owns both parties absolutely: Obama works for the same people Bush worked for - literally - the same people.
Nader strait up..is what should have been president to pull our asses out of this funk...but too bad we got nothing but rap listening wiggers in this country that voted for obama to prove a point they can legitametly hang. i called it and i was right.
After Perot scared the living shit out of Republican & Democratic parties in 92, The goal for both parties to to degrade and discredit any independent who dare call them out on the fact they serve the banks and Corporations. So Fox News trumps up this phony racism outrage from their only credible commentator cause they know this racial outrage coming from Oreilly, Beck or Hannity would really look like BS.
Smith is a gimp! Nader is what you crazy american bastards need! Someone who's open and honest, blatantly trustworthy, as I'm sure he'll tell you when you fuck up, and not another media whore, like all the rest!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOO NADER!!!!!
I'm watching this on a miserable election night and this Fox News anchor, is just slobbering over ye historic one, the messiah Barack Obama, and Nader comes on and crushes the lofty feelings of this spineless journalist. HAHAHA!
Why didn't they show how many black people didn't vote for Obama in the election. They only showed the percentage of whites that didn't vote for him. I know blacks who didn't vote for Obama as well, the volume is turned down on them and up for white non-supporters. Who is the racist here---the media! They keep bringing up race, we see it on polls, in the classroom in the news. Just quit already!
I like how Fox tries keeps stressing the "Uncle Tom" as more important than the message Nader was sending. It is clear Nader is not a racist so once again fuck Fox News.
Gotta love Shepperd's fake self righteous outrage. These right wing clucks are always whining about how everything is too PC until they can use political correctness to score cheap political points against there opponents.
Nader calls Obama an Uncle Tom because Obama pretends to stand for the interests of the oppressed (including, but not limited to, African Americans), while quietly holding hands with the people who have screwed them over for centuries.
This is what Nader means! And he is absolutely right!
Smith is one of the few reporters on Fox with any iota of decency, but it's sad how fervently he latched onto the notion that simply calling someone an Uncle Tom is racist.
Uncle Tom is no doubt a phrase with a strong racial context, but Nader's usage is absolutely appropriate when comparing it to Obama's complacency and disregard for the working class of America.
@yardbirdsweet Smith is a closet case that needs to get over the idea he is some sort of righteous pillar of integrity ..he fronts for FOX fake news how much lower can u get ?
Obama is a major sell-out, and therefore, a major uncle tom. What matters is that a guy sold himself as a man of the people, and he's a man of Wall St. the Pentagon, the drug companies, and now refuses to sign a landmine treaty. The man is the worst kind of sell-out, even worse than GW, who was openly a murderer. WHoever believes this fool will help them is fucking stupid. Same to Michelle, too. That scuzz is an even bigger sell out than him for telling us he was worthy.
I am black and I dont see anything wrong with what Nader said. Racist, well maybe a tad, you cant call anyone but a black person an uncle tom. Poor choice of words, more likely, sellout would have been a better choice. I just would not have been offended at that statement. I may be crazy but thats just me. Just as if he would have said are you going to be the big corps bitch like Bush. I would not have taken offense to that either I would have said no or yes.
but ralph isnt a racist (far from it) so, using the words "uncle tom" to describe a black man who kisses the white man's ass has no racial derogatives at all implied
fuck fox news for making it otherwise, they, my friend are the real racists.
Nader just exposed himself as a Racist. He is a good economist and a advocate for the poor, but he shouldn't have used the Uncle Tom reference. He could have used more tact. Referring to any Black man as an Uncle Tom is derogatory, regardless the context.
@MegaGolgo13 Malcom X if were alive today would be calling Obama out as an Uncle Tom, alot of Native Americans have awaken to the facthat Obama is an Uncle Tom sell out, why is Ralph Nader anymore a racists than a native american who calls Obama an Uncle Tom
Ralph's got balls that would make Jumbo jealous! I've never really given him a second thought, but now, after hearing this, I'm going to have to see what more he has to say.
I love how he calls the guy a bully, and it irritates me how the media fiercely accuses any Obama critics of being a racist, especially if what they say is the truth.
i agree nader does get it, but the thing about socialism was wrong, what all the crackers are calling "socialist" about obama's policy is the bits that are actually helping poorer people, if he was totally anti socialist and free market supporting then that just means the corporations would have total freedom to capitalize on the poor.
Not correct. "Capitalize off the poor," huh? Okay, so if working for some capitalist pig was less beneficial then life without the capitalist, why would anyone willingly work for anyone else?
Under a Free Market, a true Free Market, not corporatism, if bosses were exploiting their workers, then the workers simply would not work for the bosses! However, modern "Socialists" seek to redistribute the wealth by force FROM the Poor and TO the Rich.
what karl marx would call "false consciousness" (wiki it), the rich control the media, and therefore can control the ideology people follow, for example it seems you've been taught that soviet russia was properly socialist, a brilliant example of false consciousness, soviet russia was socialist in name only, but because socialism would damage the wealth of those who capitalize ie, the rich, they will suggest, through the media, that under socialism we would live like russians in the 50's.
Yeah, no. Stereotyping fails again! I get my media sources from the internet. Blah blah blah. Most of what you're saying is pointless an invalid. The USSR was Socialism in practice. When you remove Evil Capitalists, and replace them with the government, the Capitalists move to the Government, and make things much worse then under a Free Market.
Just answer this. If working for someone else was exploitative, why would anyone willingly work for anyone else? Answer my question, or shut up.
i did answer your question, if you wiki "false consciousness" it will give you a general idea, or look elsewhere and find out what it means and you have your answer. also, people work because to live in a capitalist country you need money, you have no money you sooner or later by some process will almost always end up in jail.
Capitalist countries do not need money. If the government didn't get involved, and money really was exploitative as you claim, people would trade without money, using bartering and adopting other mediums of exchange
Please explain how not using money = jail. YES there ARE laws in place saying you must use Paper Money, but laws that interfere in the economy like that are NOT FREE MARKET. How the hell do you think that it is?
you dont use money you cannot buy a place to stay, nor can you buy food, the only necessity you can access is drinking water. meaning you need to steal things to live, if i walked out my door tomorrow and made up my mind to walk into the middle of nowhere and make a house i would soon find myself in trouble for having no building permit or whatever, indirectly you end up in jail or persecuted. capitalism = the difference between the value of your labour and your pay.
Shepard has never even read Uncle Tom and neither has most of the American public. If you knew that book, you would know what Nader's point was exactly right. Shepard is a epidome of non-objective reporting and I only wish that Mike Wallace was still giving interviews, not this Walter Cronkite wanna-be.
Ralph was exactly right. As he said in the video, what he meant by being an uncle tom here was being a toady to corporations...and that's exactly what Obama has turned out to be.
Im a fan of Ralph Nader, I just think he didn't pick the right words. If he really wanted to hold Obamas feet to the fire he would have used words that were less loaded and that Obama would actually respond too. plus maybe the media would have picked up the question and made Obama finally answer it eventually. I don't agree with the question Nader is asking nor the way he is asking it, but I still respect his accomplishment in this country. Nader has the job to always go against anyone whos prez
Ralph said it EXACTLY the way it needed to be said. BRAVO Ralph. Ralph, and Ron Paul, and Mike Gravel, etc. are the PTBs (Powers That Be) worst nightmare, so they use Media Thugs like this guy to try to make them look bad. They are bullies. They are Jackals...This guy doesn't care about the "first Black President"...he is a cheerleader for the Choice of the Powers That Be. Obama was a BRILLIANT choice to continue their agenda, the same agenda BUSH was furthering.
ralph nader is 100 percent arab, you morons! when will stupid americans realize not all arabs have brown skin? in america, people are always judged on their appearance.
NADER is an arab name...and its pronounced NAA-DH-ER
Maronites are a religious sect, not an ethnicity. Ethnically he's Arab. (Although they like to claim they're Phoenician.) Even if his lineage is slightly more muddled with Greek or Turkish blood than the average Arab, he's about as Arab as the average Syrian or Lebanese person.
Nader has Heart, Brains, Guts, and is completely honest. Always has been. He is genuinely for We The People. So, the corporate owned/controlled media try to make him look bad or unimportant, because he is a threat to them and other greedy evil organizations.
You are an ignorant idiot....don't want to argue with idiots like you because people like you are thick-headed and it would be a waste of my precious time. Just believe what you want to believe and be happy.
You ARE an idiot. Nader has done 1000times more to help the working and middle class and the poor for this country than Obama. Read his biography if you have any doubts. Obama, like this Shep guy, is a corporate pawn / sellout. Also, Read "No He Can't" by Professor Anne Wortham. Also, LISTEN to what Nader says here: he does not call Obama an Uncle Tom. Then, LISTEN carefully to what else the man says here. By the way, I'm black.
You are an ignorant idiot....don't want to argue with idiots like you because people like you are thick-headed and it would be a waste of my precious time. Just believe what you want to believe and be happy.
haha...you stupid ignorant conservative......go keep watching Fox News believing that its the only true news channel in the world, keep believing in the Bush and Cheney ideology and lies that got us into all this trouble that we are in, keep living in fear, hate and negativity. You people really need re-education in core human values and hopefully one day you will learn your lesson...probably the hard way.
Hey dumb ass, I'm not a conservative. I'm a libertarian. The only time I watch Fox news is when Glenn Beck is on. I never agreed with Bush. Oh I need re-education of my human values? You don't even know who I am retard. Go ahead and believe in Obama's bullshit. Don't cry to me when you see how much of a fuck up he is.
Thanks dumb ass......you are one angry retard....not good for your mental health. No I am not gonna cry like you are doing now.....haha....have a nice day retard.
Man you always seem to be losing your cool, first calling me an idiot, then a bitch, then stupid, then dumb, then a retard. I have just replied calling you what you called me. I can also get very colorful in my language but I refrain from doing so. So who is immature? Seems like you're the one acting like a kid. Take it easy man and chill out.....
For real. Its funny how Obama say's he's going to help out the middle class. That's great, but what about the rich? They're people too, he should care for everybody. Besides, helping out the middle class will still not help the millions of poor and starving people we have in this nation.
Obama, Bush, Mccain.... the only difference is which lie they'll tell you to get your money! Ralph Nader is the only one willing to actually stand up for what's right. Listen to the vid. Nader says straight out that just because Obama's black doesn't let him off the hook to be held up to certain standards. He was perfectly justified in everything he said and asked. Conservatives and Liberals need to wake up!
I don't support everything Ralph Nader supports, but how the heck was that racist?! Whoever that interviewer is, he's an idiot. I love Nader's "NOT at all. . ." line, lol. Remember folks, bad to worse is also a "change".
....you must not know that "Uncle Tom" is a derogatory term towards African Americans usually used to describe a sellout.Also Ralph is a racist we all know this he's made several racist statements.He's just mad he lost for president.
Uncle Tom is not a racist term it is a very fitting term for Obama sense he forks for the Anglo-American Banking Empire. They paid for his campaign and he is paying them back ten fold.
Cool dude if you find nothing wrong with him saying Uncle Tom even though that is bringing up Obama's race(Uncle Tom is used racially against blacks) then fine.Though you can't deny Ralph's a racist he's made racist remarks before like accusing Obama of "talking White....
I'm just saying Obama serves the anglo american empire and that makes him a Uncle Tom... how do you know i'm not black? If I was black could I say that? Doesn't that make you racist?
Nader Rocks! He didn't call obama an uncle tom! He said lets see if the sheep's messiah was going to be an uncle SAM or an uncle tom for the giant corporations.
Just wait, I will call this inexperienced nobody obama for what he is. The Wall Street Puppet

Actually your are right. Obama does work for corporate interests-mainly the evil and powerful mechnical pencil lobby- these rich conglomerates are indeed anti-american Dr. Bowski, becauses they are trying to get rid of our beloved #2 pencils. FIGHT ON BROTHER, FIGHT ON!
If someone doesn't realize President Obama is a puppet for global banking interests and the military industrial complex, just like Bush and Clinton, and many world leaders, he/she is a naive idiot of titanic proportions, and cannot be taken seriously.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Once again pulitizer-prize winner Dr. Dan Lebowski esquire has shaken the world of academia with his incredible in-depth analysis of the Obama admin. This time bringing up the military industrial complex/world bank and their covert attempt to control the worlds' supply of cottage cheese/soy yogurt subsitute products. Obama taking clear directives from Barbara Bush/Chelsea Clinton-the true Turkmeni Feminist lesbien puppet masters. Me and Dr. Dan will not let these assholes get away with it. Join.
Wow, after reading such a diplomatic, carefully crafted post, I catch myself wondering again why so many people think you Obomunists are the most undeservedly arrogant patrons of youtube. You sir, are clearly a scholar and a gentleman.
Re Obama, I think any politician who's largest contributions came from such reputable firms as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and bankrupt Lehman Brothers, is clearly a Servant of The People, and I can't understand why more people don't see that.
After all, his shuffling of tens of thousands of troops from one failed, neoconservative inspired war, to another failed neoconservative inspired war, is clearly a masterstroke of genius. Of course, every empire in history that has tried to nation build Afghanistan in their image has failed miserably, but now we have The Messiah running the show, and I'm sure things will turn out differently. History, common sense, and modesty need not apply.
Nader should have explained what he meant by using the term. I think he meant it as in selling out your ideals rather than selling out your race, but he should have clarified so the interviewer couldn't spin it as racist.
IF you are defending Nader YOU ARE NOT A LIBERAL and never were, go fuck yourself. If you are a conservativer who like Nader, go fuck yourself racist asshole. Nader deserves the firing squad, if I see him, I'm going to woop him down.
Nader is liberal and you are not. His book Unsafe At Any Speed is single-handedly responsible for Government regulation on the auto industry, leading to seat belts and future safety products
What the brought for media did to Nader they are now trying to do to Ron Paul.

Just as if he would have said are you going to be the big corps bitch like Bush. I would not have taken offense to that either I would have said no or yes.

but ralph isnt a racist (far from it) so, using the words "uncle tom" to describe a black man who kisses the white man's ass has no racial derogatives at all implied
fuck fox news for making it otherwise, they, my friend are the real racists.
crustychi666 2 years ago 5
Nader just exposed himself as a Racist. He is a good economist and a advocate for the poor, but he shouldn't have used the Uncle Tom reference. He could have used more tact. Referring to any Black man as an Uncle Tom is derogatory, regardless the context.

Ralph's got balls that would make Jumbo jealous! I've never really given him a second thought, but now, after hearing this, I'm going to have to see what more he has to say.
I love how he calls the guy a bully, and it irritates me how the media fiercely accuses any Obama critics of being a racist, especially if what they say is the truth.

DoomHippie 2 years ago
i agree nader does get it, but the thing about socialism was wrong, what all the crackers are calling "socialist" about obama's policy is the bits that are actually helping poorer people, if he was totally anti socialist and free market supporting then that just means the corporations would have total freedom to capitalize on the poor.
ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz 2 years ago
Not correct. "Capitalize off the poor," huh? Okay, so if working for some capitalist pig was less beneficial then life without the capitalist, why would anyone willingly work for anyone else?
Under a Free Market, a true Free Market, not corporatism, if bosses were exploiting their workers, then the workers simply would not work for the bosses! However, modern "Socialists" seek to redistribute the wealth by force FROM the Poor and TO the Rich.
DoomHippie 2 years ago
what karl marx would call "false consciousness" (wiki it), the rich control the media, and therefore can control the ideology people follow, for example it seems you've been taught that soviet russia was properly socialist, a brilliant example of false consciousness, soviet russia was socialist in name only, but because socialism would damage the wealth of those who capitalize ie, the rich, they will suggest, through the media, that under socialism we would live like russians in the 50's.
ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz 2 years ago
Yeah, no. Stereotyping fails again! I get my media sources from the internet. Blah blah blah. Most of what you're saying is pointless an invalid. The USSR was Socialism in practice. When you remove Evil Capitalists, and replace them with the government, the Capitalists move to the Government, and make things much worse then under a Free Market.
Just answer this. If working for someone else was exploitative, why would anyone willingly work for anyone else? Answer my question, or shut up.
DoomHippie 2 years ago
i did answer your question, if you wiki "false consciousness" it will give you a general idea, or look elsewhere and find out what it means and you have your answer. also, people work because to live in a capitalist country you need money, you have no money you sooner or later by some process will almost always end up in jail.

amness1a 2 years ago
Capitalist countries do not need money. If the government didn't get involved, and money really was exploitative as you claim, people would trade without money, using bartering and adopting other mediums of exchange
Please explain how not using money = jail. YES there ARE laws in place saying you must use Paper Money, but laws that interfere in the economy like that are NOT FREE MARKET. How the hell do you think that it is?
DoomHippie 2 years ago
you dont use money you cannot buy a place to stay, nor can you buy food, the only necessity you can access is drinking water. meaning you need to steal things to live, if i walked out my door tomorrow and made up my mind to walk into the middle of nowhere and make a house i would soon find myself in trouble for having no building permit or whatever, indirectly you end up in jail or persecuted. capitalism = the difference between the value of your labour and your pay.
ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz 2 years ago
You cannot buy those things without because the Government says that you MUST accept worthless strips of paper as value.
NO ONE would use such a ridiculous thing as fiat paper money if they were not required, by force of law, to do so.
