Anyone catch Nader's press secretary debating Norman Solomon today?

[NightTrain]

It was on DEMOCRACY NOW! with Amy Goodman.

One of the things the Nader guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) was, "It doesn't matter to us if Bush or Kerry wins the election." Thankfully, Solomon ripped him a new one over that stupid-ass remark.

The Nader campaign believes--and his press secretary as much as said this today--that anyone who supported Ralph in 2000 but is now backing Kerry has "become a liberal" :wtf: and "lost their nerve." But Solomon, god bless him, had a great comeback. He named about a dozen prominent progressives--such as Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Cornel West, Manning Maribel, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore, and even Nader's own running mate from 2000, Winona LaDuke--who now support Kerry. Solomon then opined that those people had not, in fact, lost their nerve. Rather, they were being pragmatic in that if the American progressive movement wants even a slim chance of succeeding, the first thing that needs to happen is that Bush must go.

Duh, Naderites!

2. I catch "Democracy Now!" on a local college station from 12-1 p.m. EDT.

Two weeks ago tonight, Amy Goodman visited the UConn campus as part of her "Exception to the Rulers" tour. She ran her half-hour film, "Independent Media in a Time of War," then gave a kick-ass speech. All in all, it was a terrific evening!
