Nope. I called him a union buster, and denounced him for smearing union organizers and opponents with false stories, and for calling "me" (presumably Henwood, if we are to believe the web link included in the text) a communist. This is not the article on Nader that is currently
on Henwood's web site.
As of today, these posters have been pulled off and replaced with Nader bumper stickers. As for what leftist group put them up in the first place, they did not put any identifying statement on the posters, and there are plenty around here that could be the ones, such Progressive
Student Association, or RABL (Revolutionary Anarchist Bowling League).
