How low do you have to have sunk to get Jimmy Carter pissed off enough with you to publically punk you out? DAMN!

1. Bummed about that, myself
I love both those guys and hate to hear either one say something bad about the other. They both have done great things in this world.

2. No kidding
It takes a whole lot to get Jimmy Carter angry to the point where he'll say something negative about someone. And I'm with him.

3. Randi Rhodes just handed Ralph Nader his ass
on a platter about 15 minutes ago on her radio show. I would like to see Ralph Nader throw his support behind Kerry very soon.

4. I thought she was pretty rude really.
No better than O'Reilly when he tells people to shut up and cuts theri mike. Did she need to "interview" him? No...but she could have done a much better job.

8. Yes.
Her interview with Nader was reminicient of Rush and Bill at their worst. I keep hoping we are better than that.

10. I'm not listening at the moment because of lag, but
If she's doing what you're saying, then I have no need for her. However I'll save that judgement until I listen for myself tomorrow when my bandwidth limit isn't exceeded (yeah, my ISP sucks).

11. It's just my opinion.
Most everyone else seems to think it was a great thing for her to do.

9. Ralph thought he could ride roughshod over Randi
it seemed to me. Randi just stood her ground. I wish the exchange could have been more productive, but it takes two to tango and it wasn't in the cards today.

5. I'm dissapointed in Carter
He should be saving that wit for Bush. Attacking Nader isn't going to do any good for us.

6. If the wisdom of his friend...
...helped Nader to decide to not run it would help us.

13. Called him out publically and...
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 06:29 PM by DarkPhenyx
...basically called him stupid for running.

"Please go back to coaching softball and looking at the backends of cars." That's almost a direct quote.

I think the usage comes from "calling someone a punk".

14. Ralph is running asgainst us. He should be attacked w/ the truth.
He busts unions. He profits from the companies he rails against. He has declared war on the Democratic party. According to Micheal Moore he lied to his supporters in 2000 just like he's lying to everybody now.

We have to let voters understand the unimpeachable fact that if you voter for nader you're three quarters freeper.
