Nader is so done after this comment.
It's about selling out. Think slightly more abstractly. It's not really that out of line. Hysterics is just a way of avoiding legitimate issues.
This way, nader was able to get his question to a wider audience. He's a genius. Shep looked foolish. You look foolish.
You know, its funny that you claim Obama's victory is not any milestone for the civil rights movement, and that he is just a "token black".
But someone asking if he is an "Uncle Tom" is not racist.
Keep dancin.
Today in the business world "republican" has replaced "uncle tom".
he called obama an uncle tom. you know using the old trick of phrasing it as a question.
He said obama could EITHER be uncle sam or uncle tom. He did not declarativly say that obama is an uncle tom. He even made this put towards the end of his interview.
Secondly, it's not racist to call someone an uncle tom, especially as many liberals have demonstrated over the past years with condeleeza rice and colin powell.
Ralph nader is well spoken and held his ground. This is faux outrage, get over it.
