The Endlessly Maddening (for Liberals) Case of Ralph Nader - New York Times
The New York Times favorably reviews a new documentary about Ralph Nader. Personally, although I count myself a liberal, I do not share liberals' outrage over Nader's role in the 2000 presidential campaign. Not that I am blind to the tremendous damage that has resulted from the Bush presidency, but because I believe that it really was up to the Democrats to win the election, and that they dropped the ball. I am crossing my fingers that we will do better in 2008, although early signs appear mixed to me.
As for Mr. Nader, for one of whose organizations I worked in the nineties, he will always be one of my heroes for his uncompromising stand on behalf of consumer safety and corporate accountability in the face of tremendous opposition.
