I do not think there is anything irrational about
criticizing a homophobe like Ralph Nader.  For me, it
is an act of survival.

Nader is reactionary on sexual issues and of litle use to
progressives who believe in sexual self-determination.
His continued appeal plays to the Puritan streak that
still adheres to part of the progressive movement (for
what reason I have yet to figure out or be given a
reasonable explanation).
