His bio

1. He's not Jim Hightower,

he's called co-chair of Ralph Nader's 2000 campaign.

[merrily]

2. Why the attempted lame game? He IS Jim Hightower and he's called Jim Hightower.

Working Nader's campaign (not that national campaign co-chairs necessarily do a lot of work) was one of many things he has done in his 72 years of life. Does your identity and name change when you go from one activity to another?

He's also supported the Presidential runs of Tom Harkin and Jerry Brown, and Bill Clinton.

4. Yep.

Another lame attempt to smear Bernie. This time implying he is connected to Nader via Hightower.

[merrily]

5. Pffft. You ain't seen nuthin' yet.

Take a lot at this post and the subthread it begins. You just may be supporting a man closely linked to murder of a child.

Or, the victim of a concerted effort to make him seem like a monster. Either way, Hillary 2016! Yeayyy.

7. They are really REALLY afraid of Bernie eom

[merrily]

9. After 2008, I doubt Hillary will take any chances whatever.

Sanders is facing and will continue to face anything and everything.

6. Consider the source.

8. It would be a point of strength if Bernie can win over Nader voters...

After all a lot of Democrats actually do blame Nader voters for spoiling the 2000 election I guess.

I would think it would be good to see them supporting a Democratic candidate.

3. That thar is bumper sticker gold.
