No wonder why they're mean to him... «Brought to you by IBM».

The Interviewer is the biggest wanker I have ever seen. Typical of the shitty main-stream media!

OMG George is sooo dimwitted..I am so disappointed. I thought he would see past the 2-party bull. But no-he's one of those "a vote for you is a vote for (insert Republican here)" The only person I've seen treat him fairly has been Lou Dobbs.

I love you, Ralph!!

nader/Gonzalez

[jwill5587]

Yeah Steph's a pretty mannequin. David Brinkley's rolling in his grave.

[NaderMaine]

45 years Ralph Nader worked on public issues and 5 runs for President, Ralph Nader the great American

[tomaccogoats]

I'm surprised George didn't open with, "So you cost Gore the election..." I don't understand why people get upset if someone tries to run for president. I've never been able to understand why so many people are against Ralph Nader running. Usually people just don't want someone to get votes, but it seems a lot of politicians don't even want to give him a chance. I'm not for or against him, but I think he should be able to run if he wants to

[chatelet55]

Anybody else annoyed by Obama's false modesty "ah... ah... um..."?

[FujiKPesto]

GO-Nader...gonader..huh huh, get it?

[McCainDemocrat]

Tonight, I watched the Liberman speech at the RNC Convention. It is true what he said that Barak Obama is very eloquent, but I have decided to put country first by going with McCain. Thank you Joe Liberman.

[Ferrarri12]

George Stefanopoulos is such a disappointment. Good luck to both small parties: Nadar and Barr.

[xxashyy]

Its a shame that the american people are SOOOO dumbed down by a failed educational

system and television that they dont even know where theyre own interests lie.

[debaucheryBotched]

Naders goal is to be the cherrybomb that cracks the toilet bowl of Washington....sounds neat at first, until you need to take a crap and there is no where 'to go'

[joserivera409]

George is such an idiot!

[Champlaain]

lol, George can't hide his hate for 3rd party/underdog candidates, he treated Ron Paul much like Nader in this interview. The funny thing is George is wrong about basically everything.

[jimmeni]

since when did Stephanopoulos become a spokesman for Obama? or is it just me that thought he was defending Obama all the way? why doesnt the media just let candidates have equal opportunities? oh yea i forgot cause they suck! Go NADER Go!!

[Gringoman911]

Let Nader and Chuck Baldwin have a chance to debate Obama and McCain, Nader wouldn't be a spoiler if conservative independents backed the Chuck Baldwin horse and liberal independents the Nader horse. Even if your polar opposites politically you both have the same cause of breaking the two party monopoly Collaborate.

[thebenoch]

Barack Obama is the worst Democrat since the guy who ran against Lincoln. On a separate note, Stephanopoulos should have never gotten to host a show. Not even a game show. What a loser.

[Gringoman911]

Trivia : Stephanopoulos descends directly from pirate buccaneers in the Aegean.

[skrammy28]

George S. is a pompous, condescending, ass. Vote Nader.

[mikerotethis]

nader/gonzalez for president!

[davetista]

Shit, if he was president that would be awesome but w/ today's zombie society and brainwashing media, that's just not happenin'.

[gonzola88]

VOTE NADER DAMMIT!!! who's with me???

[nportillo73]

I'M WITH YOU, GONZOLA88!!!

[atvfreelife]

i am!

[reebbeer36]

Hell yes!

[childofthemarshalsea]

@gonzola88 I was with you and was with you in '00 and '04 and I do not apologize for having done so!

[workersunite1916]

HELP ME MEET RALPH NADER ! The Nader campaign is running a contest for who can add the most people to their e-mail list. The winner gets to have dinner with Ralph and its my dream to meet my idol. Please help me reach my goal, it takes very little effort on your part, just email me at: workers_of_the_world@yahooDOTc­om

[spectre1234]

vote nader or paul! (as if it's legal to vote for either)

[paul8kangas]

The 2 party system is hurting our country. The 2 party system is stealing votes from America.

[paul8kangas]

More than 59% of the Voters do not even vote.

If Gore wanted more votes, he should have registered more voters. Most of us who vote for Nader, Gonzalez & Kangas, will never vote for Obama. Nader wants a 30 hour work week , at for all Federal employee, 40 hours pay, will create 20 million new jobs.

[shadow27b]

With Obama endorsing telecom immunity an the new FISA we need more voices like Nader keeping other people's feet to the fire and giving us a real choice.

[Dionysos37]

Impeach WASHINGTON DC! And vote Nader. If it brings on the vicious senile McCain, at least that will bring on the end of the empire the sooner. Americans/Israelis actually believe they are the center of the planet and nobody else really matters---the world is their "children" who must behave while being plundered and enslaved. At least a vote for Nader is a vote for CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. That is what our forebears suffered so much for---anything less from us would be an insult. NADER!

[thatMadeline]

Of Course Nader wants attention, what candidate does NOT? And do you want to be ignored OBAMA?! NADER IS THE MAN!

[Revalations20]

Nader is the man why censor him

[nrobnas65]

obama and mccain are incompetent. nader has a proven track record. I voted for him in 2000 because I believed in him. I wasn't upset he lost, but I felt proud that I voted for someone I liked. 2004 I voted for Kerry just so bush wouldn't win because the bleeding dems said if you vote for nader, bush will win. I regret to this day giving a moron my vote. Ralph is smart and he makes sense. You should vote to make the world a better place not to take the lesser of two evils.

[rollamp]

go nader yer my pa ldown there

[busterdrogas]

i reckon nader be one of dem there bigots

[fightwithtools]

His campaign hasn't gotten any traction because the fucking bought and paid for media is freezing him out. I mean why would they want anyone to listen to Nader when he would completely bring attention to everything that is wrong with corporate greed!!!! No way they dont want that.....what an idiot you are Obama...."if you look at the pas 40 years he has a good track record and it's a "shame"???? He want's attention???? Damn Right...WE the people want attention!!

[thankgodcpa]

he said Jarak McBama fought against the EPA.

[thankgodcpa]

F'n Galopagis ( or whatever ). What a duesh! I'd smack that little dickbags face in if I ever got the chance- just like Ralph did. U ever see that thimble sized package of discharge squirm like that. What a loser!!!! Go Home Galapigos.......

[ClassicShowbiz]

Love Nader.

[owitunao]

absolute truth ralphie 08

[righteouspolitics80]

geroge steph and his snicker. thye just have ralph on so they can try and discredit him. its always the same. you will never hear a conversation on the the news when he doesn't get questioned about him hurting democracy. nader is democracy.

[righteouspolitics80]

he's trying to get attention because you and your parties are willingly putting him out of the debates and politcal process. democrats and republicans are both in cahoots sleeping the in the same bed. just look at how the democrats just passed 200 billion for bushes continual war.

[kkvh4026]

Make sure that you're not disenfranchied from voting for Nader, as Nader IS NOT ON THE STATE BALLOT.

WE NEED TO PETITION in ALL 50 states to get Nader on the ballot.

Go to Nader's website, go to TAKE ACTION tab, click on your state on the map, & contact the volunteer coordinaters to ask how to obtain a petition. THERE ARE DEADLINES, some have already passed! Inform others.

[hmt5000]

i did vote first for obama....

not anymore, i belonf to the green party

go nader/gonzalez

[santiagowechsler]

Could some one please kick Stephanopoulos right in his stupid face?

[shaire99]

Republican mindset is one of hatred for anyone NOT like them. They seek the vote of the rich by catering and bowing before them with tax breaks while gouging the middle class.

Repubes use fear and racial hatred to entice the poorly educated and paranoid gun toters and religious right.

Repubes use outright lies and negativity to induce those who only listen to one sentence blurbs as their information sources.

Repubes are hypocritical and proud of it. Whatever it takes.Shameless cretins.

[rampageassist]

Does anyone else see a bitter jealousy here? It seems like Mr. Nader who has been running for presedent for as long as I can remember. Can not stand to see this man (Obama) come out of nowhere and accomplish somehting Mr. Nader could not.

[chromogenic]

fool

[Yanni75]

The Americans should do it like France and have a second round when neither candidate wins a absolute majority after the first. People might then feel free to vote for people like Ralph Nader who, if he gets enough votes, could then make (policy) demands to Obama in return for his own support. Good way to break the 2-party system in national elections.

[SadieMirsade]

Great idea...Yanni!

[0613162k]

Help me get the message our aroung youtube to all Obama supporters, undecided hillary supporters and of course uniting Kcinichm Ron Paul & Gravel supporters being the only 3 candidates that along with Ralph Nader committed to ending war AND ENDING THE OCCUPATION in Iraq.

It's the same choice as 04':

McCain Bush= warmongers- 2 endless wars

Obama/ Kerry= demohawks- ends Iraq war, but continues Iraq occupation, and redeploys troops to afghanistan

Nader 04/08= peace- end Iraq war & occupation

[ellenloveseverything]

i love nader.

[Mayoku3]

Nader is a couragous man of truth, and George Stephanopoulos is a little bitch of the democratic party. Obama is full of empty rhetoric and doesn't take on any real issues.

[TERRAN1212]

George worked for Bill Clinton; he's far from an unbiased observer. He's just shilling for the Democratic Party.

[TERRAN1212]

"The one thing no one ever says is, Ralph Nader is wrong." - Jon Stewart

[0613162k]

Great quote. The most they say when I debate people is that Nader can't win as their reason not to vote for him.

Is there any video footage of Nader on Jon Stewart on youtube?

If the young audience knew that Nader is the ONLY candidate that will end the Iraq war AND the occupation, whilst the fineprint of Obama's plan is to redeploy troops to Afghanistan and maintain the occupation, when 70% of Iraqi's and most AMericans want US out of Iraq. It'll be great if Nader could say that there.

[flynx2008]

If young audience read Obama's plan of ending the Iraq war on his web site, checked his voting record (pro war funding, Patriot act, Bush/Cheney energy bill, etc) and listened carefully to debates and interviews they would know that he is not for ending the war and/or american presence there. Also, if they followed the money ...

I am a conservative but since my candidate is out I'll be voting for Mr. Nader.

[0613162k]

Welcome to the team I'm assuming Ron Paul supporter. I like him as well on foreign policy which is the same as Nader.

Make sure that you're not disenfranchied from voting for Nader, as Nader IS NOT ON THE STATE BALLOT.

WE NEED TO PETITION in ALL 50 states to get Nader on the ballot.

Go to Nader's website, go to TAKE ACTION tab, click on your state on the map, & contact the volunteer coordinaters to ask how to obtain a petition. THERE ARE DEADLINES, some have already passed! Inform others.

[flynx2008]

I actually thought about petitioning for Mr. Nader. Thanks for reminding me.

[genelawdog]

Wrong about what? We have a two party system controlled by the rich, for the rich, and of the rich. Obama, McCain... no real difference! My old Nader sign is back up on my lawn.

[tsimshan]

He does attack McCain on the issues; if you look at his website you will see criticisms of both McCain and Obama.

[MissNophi2U]

the key question was why all the attack on obama and not mccain. here's why, he's winning! same with clinton. you would think that the main agenda would be common ground and then challenging the candidate to put issues on the table that are ignored. you'd think he'd hand mccain his @ss, but of course not. what nader cares about is winning. he arrogantly believes himself to be the only right choice while knowing that he won't get the votes. at this point he can't even dent obama's campaign.

[morkos]

Misguided comment. He pretty much acknowledges he cannot win. He is representing issues that neither of the candidates can address because their hands are tied to the interests from which they take funding. Regardless of what percentage he gets, a significant number of Americans agree with him.

[MissNophi2U]

what's misguided is doing the same thing you did before and expecting different results. was that his strategy when gore was up against bush. i learned a valuable lesson about the lesser of two evils. the answer is that gore would have been a much better choice, period. obama is the better choice over mccain, period. nader needs a new strategy, period. And his comments indeed made him lose credibility with me because they were incorrect as stephanopoulos said. Nader '08? No Thanks.

[0613162k]

Know what you're voting for.

People are clear that McCAin is a war monger that will continue war in both Iraq & Afghanistan.

What people aren't aware of is that Obama will increase military spending, redeploy troops from Iraq to Afghanistan, AND WILL CONTINUE THE OCCUPATION IN IRAQ which 70% of Iraqi's are against.

Watch Obama's interview with AMy Goodmen, on youtube videos entitled:

"Amy puts Obama in the hot-seat!!"

"Ralph Nader on Ending the Occupation of Iraq (2004)"

Nader08

[jastheswift2]

george is simply awful as an interviewer

[loopyloupe]

Isn't He? Since when is Stephanopolous become a Barack Obama Spokesman? LOL.

[0613162k]

You really appreciate Tim Russert in giving more than 30mins to have a full debate with Ralph Nader compared to this rubbish from George Stephanoplous asking meanigless questions and no time to answer.

How about informing people that Ralph Nader is the NLY candidate left that will not only end the war in Iraq, but WILL END THE OCCUPATION in Iraq unlike Obama.

Watch Obama's interview with Amy Goodmen on Democracy Now on youtube videos entitled:

"Amy puts Obama in the hot-seat!!"

[morganmghee]

I agree, what with George cheerleading and failing to see the connection between overspending on one thing and underspending on another. Still, Mr. Nader kept his cool and clearly made his points, not an easy task I'm sure. Even managed to surprise George and have a little fun with him.

[0613162k]

"failing to see the connection between overspending on one thing and underspending on another".LOL

Very true.

All I can say is i've got the 204 and 2008 interview of Nader with tim Russert on MTP saved on favorites.

I'm going ask if someone will post those as a video response to this video. as they are worth watching.

[morganmghee]

Great Interview! I didn't knoe he spoke Greek.
