Showing Original Post only (View all)The Treason of Nader [View all]
This meme is about avoiding the unpleasant recollection of the fact that the Democratic Party lead by people like that fucknut Lieberman, agreed to the installation of Bush, agreed to the ruinous tax cuts, agreed to the Patriot Act(s), agreed to the Iraq War, agreed to the appointments of the theocratic radical asswipes nominated by Bush. So they invent a narrative: "the treason of Nader", to help us forget "the collaboration of the Democratic Party leadership".
They want us to forget the Pom-pom brigade.
