In a word, I would say yes, that's exactly what he is doing.  Though 
I would imagine Nader's contempt for the LI derives from the 
Chomsky-Vidal side rather than the nativist right.  But he is surely 
aware of the possibilities for forging a coalition of these elements, 
if not the dangers.

That's a cue to Chip, of course.

Will it succeed?  I doubt it, but it would certainly be interesting if it did.

Best,

John
