[lbo-talk] Nader film

[Doug Henwood]

More than a little weird! As did his definition of personal loyalty,  
when he was defending his attack on Joan Claybrook when she was in  
the Carter admin. Loyalty for Ralph is all constructed around the  
issue, and when there's disagreement on the issue, then all all  
claims to loyalty are off. He could have said that he had to disagree  
but it was emotionally difficult for him, but whole portions of the  
human sensibility seem to be missing in Nader.
