Nader attack: your posting

[Pahtoo at aol.com]

I'm a Green Party member (a former Green Candidate for Congress) and I can't 
believe the blind greenwashing of Nader. Despite the Naderites' connection to 
right-wing funders like Roger Milliken, the party plans to go forward with 
it's coronation of Nader without any meaningful debate.

Salzman's broadside aimed at pre-empting such a needed debate is almost 
incoherent -- just what "leftists" and just what "greens" are she referring 
to? Greens would never tolerate Nader's behavior and sources of funding were 
he anyone else. What gives?

During Nader's last snoozer of a run, he barely mentioned real Green issues. 
Rather than left ideas being "subsumed by Greens," Nader's 1998 sleepwalk 
showed that Greens were subsumed by Nader's economic nationalism.
