1. He's not the Green Party candidate. He was 8 & 12 years ago. This is an example of why the majority of Greens no longer want him around.

2. The phrase is unfortunate, and not even appropriate to the situation, let alone politically palatable, mainly because most people don't know what it really means. He's not calling anybody an Uncle Tom, though, in the popular sense of somebody who bends over for authority; he's challenging Obama not to be one.

3. I was more eeked out by that oily Fox bastard interviewing him. Nader was wrong to say it, but that dude (what's his name? I don't watch TV, much less Faux News) was beyond hypocritical for calling him on it.

As always Ralph Nader points out the facts. The question is not: Is Ralph Nader a bigot (As he is entirely NOT.)? But as Ralph Nader points out, will Obama continue to support US militarism and/or corporate wealth. So it is no longer even a question of will Obama be an Uncle Tom or Uncle Sam but will he be both?
