About Nadars Uncle Tom's comment...have you read the book? Tom is an honorable
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 12:25 PM by greenbriar
honest man who lived through horrible hardships and devastating cruel treatment and broken lies and promises


and remained TRUE to himself and to his God and his people to the very bitter end




I am NOT saying that nadar is good

I am NOT agreeing with the comment

I am just pointing out the Tom in the book

1. L.M.A.O. I've seen a lot of rationalization today, but this one takes the pie.

3. True to himself or a broken man in the sense of a broken horse?
Simon LeGree is an infinitely more interesting character in the book though. Evil bastard to the nth power.

6. How do you explain Nader's use of the word "nigger?"
"I felt like a nigger."

-Ralph Nader, on being left out of the debates.

7. With all due respect--FAIL. Of course I read the book, but that's not the popular connotation.
Nader's a fuckwad.
