Nader cost himself federal funds

[Lisa & Ian Murray]

NN>>So I continue to be bemused that my strategic criticisms of Nader evoke
such
strong defensiveness (and occasional offensiveness) by Nader supporters.
Any movement whose candidate failed at his stated goal, in this case the 5%
threshhold, should be able to engage in a discussion of the strategic
shortcomings of the campaign.

Your Pareto-ish desire for pre-election synergy with the Naderites is cool
as far as it goes but was simply unachievable for a host of reasons that
defy resolution. And Nader and his cadres did make blunders; however I would
note that the 5% would have been achievable if not for the Republicrats
TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS stranglehold of the "debates". That was far more damaging
to Nader's campaign than any internally generated campaign errors. I've yet
to see an apology from any of the fuckers who hijacked the communications
complex and engaged in a blatant form of CENSORSHIP. So, once again we're
forced to call in the lawyers to handle the adolescent crap of people who
spend toooo much money on suits, perfume and Beamers in alleviating their
fears of death and social change.

Non-reductive, multicausal analyses please,
