I saw this live and loved it. I shuddered in disgust at the condescending shaking of heads and tut tuts of the panel. What odious bastards. Turns out Nadar was right. If you want the truth, look no further than Nadar

It's from a classic american book called uncle tom's cabin that was incredibly ahead of its time and controversial as it showed the evils of slavery.

"Uncle Tom is a pejorative term for a black person who is perceived by others as behaving in a subservient manner to white authority figures, or as seeking ingratiation with them by way of unnecessary accommodation." -wikipedia

You know it's funny, when he first said this I was taken aback and actually laughed at the balls on him to say this, but goddamn was he right!!!!!!!!!

Ralph Nader is the only presidential candidate of out time that ACTUALLY CARES about the people of this country and not its corporate interests.

He is the Ron Paul of the liberals...though unfortunately he is seen as a complete joke in this country.

Ahhh how well thinkspeak works.

It's funny how quickly so many people got over Obamamania and realized that Nader was right. Obama has done nothing to suppress corporate power. The heatlh care plan is nothing more than a giant insurance company subsidy. Continuation of the wars. Bailouts for the banks. The only time he worries about the decifits is when it comes to helping actual people in this country. It's a sad state of affairs. We are clearly an empire in decline and the sad thing is, most people simply don't give a crap.

I must say, this is ridiculous on Fox's part. It's incredible how truthful Ralph Nader is -- Obama is not trying to help the lower class, or racial minorities. He is, really, an Uncle Tom for the corporations; with so many problems caused by current politicians, do we really need to pull the plug on Nader and call him a racist?

There's a reason it was FOX News covering Nader's remarks. They, better than anyone else, know that as long as we cannot even TALK about or ADDRESS race in this country, we will remain unchanged. They are conservative, and want the state of our country to remain the same, including the structural race and discrimination issues.
Obama is a black man who has been co-opted by a white power structure, and he isn't working for racial minorities in this country. Nader's not afraid to say it.

Ralph Nader was right, I was hoping he wouldn't be, but he was right. It becomes more plain every day.

It's when a black person is used by the white power structure to perpetuate violence and economic inequality against minorities without them realizing it. For example, lets say a young likable, charismatic black man was elected president and proceeds to pass a health care bill that only helps insurance companies, and then escalates a war in Afghanistan. . .

They tried to make it racist.... It means Obama's like a spokesman for the poor and underpriveledged which in this country are often black people. They stick obama up there and now theres a person who the poor can identify with and he isn't looking out for them but instead for major corporations
