Sometimes the only thing that comes through in your posts is bad temper. What is your point here? The "semite" thing is pointless and silly. No one's assassinating Nader's character; he's being criticized for his history, agenda, and strategy.

What about this "corporate" thing, anyway? Is that a euphemism for capital, or just a critique of big business that would find smaller business congenial?
