Really ?

I guess you forgot that Ralph Nader made the effort to address the delegation at the NAACP Conference in both 2000 and 2004. Barrack O’Bama on the otherhand blew off the NAACP’s Convention this year.

After Nader’s talk at the conference in 2000 a number of delegates were approached for interviews. In their response there was one constant. the statement “Ralph Nader would make a good President” with a sneering smile. And in this case it was the smile that said more than the words. The undercurrent message they sent was “Ralph Nader would make a good President, BUT I’M NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM”.

I wonder if those delegates have reflected on that statement since Barack O’Bama lectured a Black Congregation on Father’s Day past about feeding their kids Popeyes for breakfast ?

Yeah Nader committed some real serious errors. (sarcasm dripping) Which lead to nearly 3 million votes.

On the otherhand David Cobb’s campaign in 2004 garnered a staggering 100,000 votes.

The record shows who is competent to run a campaign.

JimN wrote: “Most significant, to me at least, were his racial blinders. Greens in Michigan tried to get Nader to respond to an interest expressed by the African-American owned progressive newspaper, the Michigan Citizen (which published pro-Nader editorials by the likes of Manning Marable) to hold a rally in inner-city Detroit, but Nader blew them off. He also refrained from an interview with the Detroit Free Press editorial board during a strike against the Free Press only after a near mutiny, and then he unfairly blamed the affair on staff.”

So Nader has racial blinders because he didn’t show up for your party ? That wreaks of sour grapes. The fact of the matter is a few weeks ago Mumia Abu Jamal praised Nader as a “sharp cookie” for his efforts tp protect consumers.

Regarding Manning Marable if you go to his website you will see that he is now involved with the Open Society Insitute. This foundation was set up by Billionaire George Soros. The same George Soros who set up Moveon.org. And Marable wasn’t the first Leftist bought off, or should I say muzzled by Soros.

Founding member of the California Green Party Walt Sheasby, may he Rest in Peace, did exstensive research the matter. What prompted him to focus his attention on the matter was several viscious attacks made against the Green Party by Michael Parenti in the run up to the last phase of the Iraq War in early 2003. Sheasby found out that Parenti’s son Christian had been hired to work at George soros’s Open Society Instirtute in new York. The article was published in a number journals and on websites. Here is the link to the original piece as it was transmitted to Owen Broadhurst of the Massachusetts Greens.

Now go to the Bio Page on Marable’s website and drop down to the paragraph on CCBH’s Journal Souls and read.

“CCBH produces Souls, a quarterly academic journal of African-American Studies, which is published and distributed internationally by Taylor and Francis Publishers.

With the support of the Open Society Institute (Soros Foundation),

CCBH’s Africana Criminal Justice Project has conducted a national survey of Black Studies departments to promote the development of new courses on race, crime and justice”

Walt didn’t know of Marable’s dealings with Soros at the time he wrote the Neocens Paper but it sure seems eery that Nader is baited into these situations in 2004 Marable clams up about electoral and rarely makes speaking engages and then announces his partnership with Soros in 2006.

It looks to me like somebody or some people were played for suckers.
