(Uncle Tom?) Ralph Nader is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

[StratusBlue]

Mr. Nader respects truth more than his own standing. He has no fear when it comes to truth. In my opinion, his is that greatest love which risks self for others.

Much respect to you.

[mitomke]

Right on bro and very funny when you are not experiencing it but looking back

[10100003]

nice video.

[ACudmore2]

well done on the vid

[happyoldMEN]

Well, just another situation where I'm glad to say I'm Canadian.

[Canuckism101]

@happyoldMEN What, you think uncle Tom hasn't got a strangle hold on Canada? Think Again

[happyoldMEN]

@Canuckism101 Oh, Cool, I have a Candle.

[PervisJohnson]

I remember that Obama said that 6 months after he was elected, every American would have health care. Instead, he devised a ridiculous plan that is really only 5% of a health care plan. Soon most of it will be repealed Obama had a Congress that was overwhelmingly Democratic. It just shows that most of the Democrats & all of the Republicans are owned by big business. I took a chance & donated money 3 times to Obama's campaign. It turns out he is just a puppet of corporate billionaires.

[rachelgolem]

Dear Mr. Nader,

I am sorry to rain on your parade, but very few people under 30 know who you are?

[BriarRabbit555]

@rachelgolem thats ok,because the majority of people under thirty don't know anything that hasn't been shoved down their throats by the popular media. Step away from the monitors and read a book sometime.You may actually learn something.

[rachelgolem]

@BriarRabbit555

Yes, of course. Americans don't like people crashing planes into their tall buildings because the "Mainstream media" tells them to feel that way.

[BriarRabbit555]

@rachelgolem Umm, what part of this video, or the topic at hand, has, in anyway, to do with the attacks of 9/11/2001? Which, I assume, is what you are referring to. Thank you for proving my point about your woeful "education". I can now add to the list your inability to form coherent thought.

[hotamali]

great video

We are surrounded Uncle Toms and Judas Goat.

Malcolm X, the man is speaking the truth, Obama, 750 Million Campaign, plus 2 Billion to get into the White House to do what??. When did Obama raise anymoney to help Black people but went out and voted for the man anyway. The problem for all people of colour to work out what is Obama's agenda, one thing is true it has nothing to do with helping any Blacks Muslims, or Africans, or people of colour any where on thei Planet. This is the Man to infect the world with Plagues, Blacks will trust him..

[amodedoma]

I've been thinking the same but didn't have the courage to say it online, I'm not flame resistent. However among friends and family I only refer to him as uncle tom president. I was a believer in his rhetoric, it took some time to get over it, but in the end actions do speak louder than words. It was exciting to see an afro american make president, too bad it wasn't a man of courage and integrity.

[mojoidol]

Obama is the house negro. Malcolm X was describing Obama to a tee. A genuine Uncle Tom.

[ozymandias1818]

Tsk Tsk Tsk- "You said uncle Tom" - haha! well a we're a year and half in an Obama administration- Was he wrong? Where is the change? Where is the reform? He makes a reference to a novel published eight years before the most catastrophic revolution in American history: The Civil War. Nader is a reformer, he wants to prevent revolution! If Obama is Uncle Tom, Nader is Martin Van Buren. Collapse is a real threat. Gorbachev promised reform too...

[tray04will]

The reality is this, Blacks been voting with the Democrats for over 40 years and most of our people are still unemployed, underemployed, or in prison. Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders and yes even Louis Farrakhan are right about Corporate influence over the Gov't. The uncle Toms are the ones who sell out the struggling masses for a place at the master's table (Banks /Corp.). The two parties financed by the banks, stay in power as long as the majority of the people stay poor.

[coleyman1]

@tray04will Great vision back and to the future!! Democrats/Progressives have and always have had a "slaveholders mentality"!! Just give 'em enough to keep them happy and not run away but never set them free to be all they can. I hear poor people, black, white, and Hispanic talk about wanting respect and equality- but they keep on going back to the same master for that check every month. Locked on the plantation just like their grandfathers before them! There is nothing free. Uncle Toms all.

[tray04will]

@coleyman1 My man!!!!!!!!

[fuckhonkeyz]

I love how white people are pathetic dickheads

[JohnZombie1]

@fuckhonkeyz I love how black people are the most racist people on earth and yet they spend all day crying about the white man keepin you down, and how white people are so racist and of course your going to throw slavery in there some where even though it was white blood that was spilled to set you free. Fuck You

[TheresNoTimeLikeNow]

@JohnZombie1 You've been listening to too much of spin doctors, if you really knew your history & could see the truth, the agenda, & that before long you too even if you are a whitey as am I will be enslaved, in fact you already are- taxes & laws & licenses required to function as an indv. you are not free & taxes just wait its just the beginning, the Man may leave you enough chump change for a hot dog or chocolate bar but will take the rest See From Freedom to Fascism please wake your ass up

[BriarRabbit555]

@fuckhonkeyz I despise how ignorant fools can't see their own racist tendancies.

[etteilla12]

Ya'll seen the new Boondocks?

[TheNike2009]

wow eye wide open pay attention  thats real shit

[Crustydraw]

amen

[NewRevolutionLeader]

This is fucking stupid and stop blaming white men for black people acting stupid.

[seltian]

Thank GOD I saw this video! Thank God you made it!

I saw the other one, the clip from Fox where Nader asks if Obama is an "Uncle Tom" and I was crushed! Nader is one of my heroes! How could he say something so racist?!

But that just shows my ignorance. An Uncle Tom is someone that white man uses to trick the black men into subordinating themselves.

And that's exactly what Obama is. I knew that much already.

[seltian]

The only thing I would say about Malcom X and the "Uncle Tom" thing is that he used it against Dr. King and his nonviolence movement.

Dr. King is a hero for everyone. He is an inspiration for all Americans, including African Americans, but not limited to them.

His nonviolence movement was the only way to exact real change. Violence only gives the agressors more reason to crack down on you.

It was King and his nonviolence that truly changed things.

King was no Uncle Tom.

[Joramboo]

good vid props!

[Tukuklan]

our president, a modern uncle tom

[bonfirejovi]

ron paul is the only one that makes sense and ALWAYS answers questions directly and in a blunt manner.

[77GSlinger]

You forgot about DENNIS KUCINICH! He has worked his ass off fighting these frauds!

[trehansen]

There are plenty of politicians that speak directly, and mean what they say, cutting through all the bullshit. You personally just like what Ron Paul has to say.

Kucinich and Nader are just as blatantly honest as he is.

[evelau]

@bonfirejovi

Also Ralph Nader and Mike Gravel.

[fjccommish]

So corporations are like slave masters, and workers like slaves? Ok then.

[cousin1e]

I don't care for Ron Paul.

[womblefree]

2 billion their you go, and on a campaign? wow theirs no doubt who's lining the pockets of this campaign and it wasn't ordinary people.

I have to say the uncle tom analogy was a good one but he wasn't illiterate he knew exactly what was being done on his behalf and anyway to a certain extent most post war presidents have been uncle toms

[denisdeveze]

one of the best video's ive ever seen. glad i voted for nader

[noone123567]

as a kid i used to think that adults were so much more intelligent than i, and that it would be stupid for me to support someone like ralph. humans are so dumb when you think about it, i cant believe the entire masses have this veil over their eyes thinking that that if they vote for this half black guy everything is gonna be alright cos he spouts words like 'change'. if people had the capacity to read and not believe then maybe we wouldnt be in so much shit

[IxenBlaze]

Funny how the "kooks" are usually right :D

[bryce503]

This is honestly one of the better videos I have seen on YouTube.

[fuhmeregan]

I hope Barak wanted corporate america to think they'd buy him, if he's going to our better president: it'd be a rouse on his part because he may NOT be an uncle tom - Ralph doesn't want a bad president, like us all he wants a good one. He was expressing concerns of how Obie voted in Congress, that then we'd be electing a Blagoyovich "tom" to the big-cash boys on the golf course - RALPH CARES ABOUT THE COMMONWEALTH OF SOCIETY MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE BORN TO DATE, tube his history.

[omegaking1]

good video

[obeliskbreaker]

Al Gore is as deceptive as Bush is. Right now his environmental movie is a disturbing mix of truth and truth left out. You think there would be no war if Gore was prez? The U.S. has been at war with someone or the other since WW2, maybe U.S. would not have invaded Iraq, but you're dellusional if you think he's not a corporate shill. This guy was Clinton's V.P. think about it. It made me sick to see all these celebrities endorsing Al Gore, Obama is no different, look who he's appointing now.

[fjccommish]

"The U.S. has been at war with someone or the other since WW2"

Maybe they should stop attacking us, trying to invade other nations, and terror.

[Dalambam]

I hate to imagine what the US would look like by now if it got the Iraq treatment every time it attacked, invaded, or used terror against another country (that's a good couple dozens of countries).... :/

Do you seriously believe the tales about how the American corporate-state-finance-media elite are just nice, altruistic, guys selflessly running around spreading democracy, as opposed to, say, being normal people looking after their own financial interests?

[fjccommish]

I believe the facts. America rebuilt Japan and Germany after WW2, even though they were the aggressors. Please list the countries America has invaded and held, the way Iraq intended to invade and hold Kuwait.

[BriarRabbit555]

@Dalambam lol.I don't consider psychotic behaviour to be "Normal". Just saying.....

[sweetscorp]

Ralph Nader's rants about Al Gore during the 2000 election contributed to Gore losing votes that went to Nader instead. Can you imagine what would have happened if Gore had received those votes, Al Gore may be President right now instead of Bush, and even if you don't like Gore you have to admit that he would have been a hell of a lot better President than George Bush. If Obama is an "Uncle Tom" for the corporations, than Ralph Nader is an "Uncle Tom" for the Republican party.

[sweetscorp]

And Ralph Nader is a self-righteous hypocrite. The man is being paid by Republicans so that in every Presidential election, he can come out and say to the American people that the Democratic candidate is no better than the Republican, he only attacks Democrats. Why?? Because he's being paid to.

[lor108avi]

he attacks republicans to.

[sweetscorp]

I take anything Ron Paul says with a BIG grain of salt, the man is a racist.

[Kalydosos]

I do not like Obama's support for the Afghanistan colonial war, and pulling troops out of Iraq.

To fight in Afghanistan leaving some very tasty private security firms in Iraq.

Obama is obviously a clever guy but he needs to dump the corporations, they want to enslave us all.

[allenjasson]

Excellent!!!

Good material making an ACE-SLAM-DUNK case.

Be careful though, you might wake up the rest of America :-)

[olinwade]

Right on man good work!

[StratusBlue]

Great explanation. Go Relg Go !

[NWKBricks1]

Very well done. Thanks for posting this GMONE704

[Euthanizednigga666]

Well Mr. Nader, despite of all your stubborn nonsense and selfish endeavors in swaying votes from democrats, it was to no avail in the end. Obama has won and you did not secure another election for the Republican scum like u did in 2000! Step down old man!....You just like Ruben Berrios (PIP pary in P.R.) need to retire and find another successor, you've been up there way too long, my man! In the end you do more harm than good, aiding the right wing sanctimonious hordes and GOP monsters win.

[JJavenger1988]

You're fucking retarded.

Wake up and smell the coffee flavored roses you dumbass.

;D

[olinwade]

This has nothing to do with left wing/right wing politics. Wake up and smell the corporate goodness.

[ajax377]

Excellent video! We have to hold Obama to a very high standard. There was nothing racist about Mr Nader's comments. Wake up and think about what he's saying!

[veganthrope]

I assure that if Malcolm X was alive today, he would not be calling Barack Obama an Uncle Tom. It's SAD and ironic that ONLY WHITE politicians are making this racist comparison. It's highly inaccurate for many reasons.

He was one of the most left leaning senators in the US senate. He opposed the Iraq war from the beginning and is for affirmative action. Is Farrakhan an Uncle Tom? Is Jesse Jackson, Jr. an Uncle Tom?  Is Martin Luther King III an Uncle Tom? Is Cornel West and Uncle Tom?

[BriarRabbit555]

@veganthrope Obama may have voted against the war initially, but he sure did vote to increase the spending on the war after that. He also spear headed the "Bailout" bank-job that wallstreet perpertrated against the wealth of the people of the U.S. And,yes,I know that Bush signed the bill into law,so you don't have to use that bit of excuse.

[fuktyranny]

really good video pal, the malcolm x clip is essential in understanding this election.

[dawance88]

Very well done. Let's just hope Obama will turn out to be for the people and not the corporations.

[veganthrope]

Whatever Obama does, Nader's comment was racist and inappropriate. The term Nader used was 'Uncle Tom'. If you've read the book, Uncle Tom's Cabin, you would be a complete idiot to compare Barack Obama to the character of Tom.

Nader is sure the hell not Malcolm X! Nader started out in 2000 with a poignant message and has become a parody of himself as illustrated in the Barely Political youtube video he made with Obama Girl.

If Nader became president, he would be a lame duck from day one.

[real934]

Hey veganthrowup -At least Nader is not bought and paid for by the bankers and corporations.unlike your cherished obama you libs are being decieved by this man just like bush decieved the sheep on right. open those eyes of yours an realize you've been conned by a puppet who happens to be a white/black man who is owned and run by the white establishment.Nader was not being racist at all when he referred to Obama being a uncle Tom.Uncle Tom in simple terms means a SELLOUT sad but true you'll see.

[tomisinsaigon]

Like Nader said, let's hope Obama becomes an Uncle Sam for the American people. And there is definitely hope. Even an asshole like Nixon gave us the EPA and OSHA because back then the American people's voice was strong and they demanded that the government served us, not simply the rich and powerful. If Obama betrays us all, we'll just have to make our voices heard again.

[veganthrope]

Nader is a JOKE! If you don't think so, then watch the Nader/Obama girl video. When I campaigned for Nader in 2000 he actually was nominated by the Green Party. 2004 he didn't get the nomination but ran anyway as a spoiler.

Noam Chomsky says it best, "the difference between militarizing space under the conception of control vs. ownership may be the difference between the survival of the species and extinction." "...Nader is a friend of mine and I like Nader but he is making a mistake."
