"Yellow Dog Blog:" Is this true about Nader?

I found a link to the Yellow Dog Blog (visiting it for the first time) via the Texas Dems site and found THIS:

Sometimes it seems as if Ralph Nader has completely lost his mind. Not only would he rather have someone as anti-consumer, anti-environment and radically conservative as George Bush than a mainstream Democrat who is willing to compromise when it means promoting the public good such as John Kerry, but now he's so desperate for attention that he's willing to work with those who hold some of the most despicable views diametrically opposed to what Nader claims to believe in.

As a press release today points out:
As the remnants of the Reform Party met today in Dallas, Texas to
begin proceedings to nominate Ralph Nader for president, it was revealed that Reform Party Chairman, Shawn O¹Hara, aided in the legal defense of one-time Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard Sam Bowers, who was convicted in 1988 of planning the January 1966 fire-bombing death of NAACP leader Vernon Dahmer.

That's right- a guy who worked for a KKK leader who bombed a civil rights activist is the one managing Ralph Nader's nomination by the pitiful remnants of the Reform Party. Ralph Nader is a selfish man more interested in his headlines and in his speaking fees than he is in his own country and as a result he's willing to throw his supposed principles to the wind and buddy up with Klansmen. He is shameful and he is a threat to all of our ideals.

YIKES!! I've never heard this before!!!!

or Shawn O'Hara from a hill of beans, but even Klansmen deserve a defence in court. (As do Al Qaeda members.) Defending a person does not mean you support their principles.

but Nader has still lost any shred of decency or respectability he may once have had.

on the legal defense issue..

I agree with desertedrose that Nader seems to have lost his mind.

Nader taking money from Republicans and running on the reform party ticket is sad.

and also nationally. He's run for office statewide several times and gets about 1% of the vote. He's EXTREMELY anti-abortion, very pro-church, 10 commandments, etc. Basically, a hard core Southern Baptist fundamentalist. And, in my opinion, he is a total asshole.

Nader should be known by the company he keeps.
