U2democrat said:ETA: NM, the picture showed up. I've seen Nader speak twice...one time in front of an EXTREMELY liberal crowd, and he got booed b/c he cost Gore 2000. The second time I saw him I fell asleep.
I saw him once and he was an excellent speaker.
Only idiots boo him for "costing" Gore. Gore could not win his own state; his supporters have no basis on which to blame Nader. Had Gore won Tennessee, what Nader did or did not do in Florida would have been immaterial. What a lame, lame argument.
And that's not to say I would vote for Nader. I think he's a good activist and a bad politician. But he is a good speaker - he doesn't talk in soundbytes and sounds nothing like a politician. It was a breath of fresh air, to be honest. But then again I find political rallies vomit-inducing.
