INDEPENDENT LENS | An Unreasonable Man | PBS

For over 40 years, Ralph Nader has worked tirelessly as a consumer advocate, building a legislative record to rival that of any contemporary president. Yet today, many consider him merely an egomaniac and a "spoiler." AN UNREASONABLE MAN takes an unsparing look at one of the most important and controversial political figures our time.

AN UNREASONABLE MAN premieres Tuesday, December 18 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.

Obama and Clinton are such spoilers. If they would just drop out we would have a great president, Ralph Nader!

[truculentfairy]

Everyone is all talkin' about how great Obama is going to be, but he won't be holdin' a candle to what Nader could do.  Nader makes Obama look like a schoolboy with a pretty smile.

If Democratic Socialists of the Democratic Party and in America in general are so fed up with the Democratic Party. Then they should unite all of the Progressive 3rd Party's of America into one Democratic Socialist Party.

UGH I HAVE to get this movie!

I keep watching this trailer over and over because the movie looks so good!

And Alterman, leave Nader alone. There's not an iota of difference between the Democratic and Republican parties. Nader is the only chance we have for AVERTING things like the Iraq War, the destruction of the environment, and the defiance of the Constitution.

GOVERNMENT BY THE EXXONS AND GENERAL MOTORS, FOR THE DUPONTS. Thats a pretty good way to put it.

I like how at the end of the interview, Smith asks if he regrets using the words and he says "Not - at ALL." wiht a little smirk. Brilliant.
