AL-JAZEERA: Nader accuses Kerry of dirty tricks

Launching a tirade against Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, Nader on Friday also denied charges that he was heavily supported by Republicans.

“I say to Senator John Kerry, call off your dogs,” Nader said in Los Angeles. He accused Kerry supporters of “harassing, obstructing and impeding” his efforts to get on the ballot in all 50 states.

“Stop encouraging these dirty tricks or you will be held responsible,” he added.

Out here on the Left Coast, the R groups supporting Nader’s attempt to get on the ballot have been quite open in what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. It’s been reported in the newspapers and teeveenooze a half dozen times.

So either Ralphie really doesn’t know who’s “supporting” him, or he knows and prefers not to admit it.

And he tries to deny it with a straight face.

Ralphie’s 15 minutes are almost up.

If you’ll remember correctly, Donny, when Perot was running for president, the Republicans didn’t black ball him. Yes, he cost them the election, but it seems to be more important to the Republicans to play fair.

It doesn’t surprise me a bit to see them try to help an underdog who is being abused by ‘the party of peace’.

This is reported on ‘al Jazeera’ ???????

Is there something wrong with the left coast media reporting on Nader being abused by the Crats?
(joke)

I’m curious. Is anyone here suggesting that Mr. Nader’s positions are invalid, or that he shouldn’t be allowed to participate in the political process or that he’s a political opportunist, because some ‘Republican’ organizations are supporting him?

Heck no. Make Kerry sweat which side he is on. Nader and Dean and all the democrat delegates tried to pull him left, but he knows if he moves there even slightly he can kiss his ass goodbye. Therefore, he must eliminate Ralphie for the sake of Don and his cohorts. Free speech and rights only exist for the elites…our military will one day come home and when in their communities can have a little talk with these people. My guess is fatboy Michael Moore can’t run fast enough to get away from some pissed off marines… ha ha
