BRATTLEBORO — After a two-hour film about his life had finished, the subject of “An Unreasonable Man” was suddenly there, in real life, standing on the stage.
The crowd stood up and cheered for more than a minute, letting Ralph Nader know how much he was appreciated.
Nader, making an appearance in Brattleboro on Saturday, was tremendously well-received. It seems that if people still had some bitterness over his running for president in 2000 and again in 2004, they kept quiet and let him speak.
Nader spoke briefly about the film’s subject matter — not only his life, but also the work of “Nader’s Raiders,” who pioneered much safety regulations legislation in their consumer advocacy work in Washington, D.C.

I suppose on some level he has done some good but at the end of the day he and his ego have cluster fucked this country greater then any one in my memeory and that includes Nixon. At least we were able to stop Nixon. Bush up to now has been a real ball buster and the consequences are enormous. Consider Gores current positions on global warming? Remember how Nader went around spouting how Gore and Bush were no different? Well now we know...Nader was full of SHIT!

Now, who's fault is it that the Dem "leadership" rolled over to Bush on almost every single nomination to the cabinet and the Supreme Court- no matter how extreme or corrupt and inept the nominees were? or on almost every single piece of legislation- no matter how egregious?

Nader was proven right on that point- there's a significant number of DINO's and enablers for which there hasn't been a dimes worth of difference with Republicans.
