Ralph Nader Was Right About Barack Obama (Moonbat fratricide: Lefty writer Praises McKinney too!)
Truth Dig ^ | 3-1-2010 | Chris Hedges

Posted on 03/01/2010 8:23:16 AM PST by atomic conspiracy

We owe Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney an apology. They were right about Barack Obama. They were right about the corporate state. They had the courage of their convictions and they stood fast despite wholesale defections and ridicule by liberals and progressives.

Obama lies as cravenly, if not as crudely, as George W. Bush. He promised us that the transfer of $12.8 trillion in taxpayer money to Wall Street would open up credit and lending to the average consumer. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), however, admitted last week that banks have reduced lending at the sharpest pace since 1942. As a senator, Obama promised he would filibuster amendments to the FISA Reform Act that retroactively made legal the wiretapping and monitoring of millions of American citizens without warrant; instead he supported passage of the loathsome legislation. He told us he would withdraw American troops from Iraq, close the detention facility at Guantánamo, end torture, restore civil liberties such as habeas corpus and create new jobs. None of this has happened.

Heh. ODS infects the retro-reds. It's that old Stalin-Trotsky thing all over again. Does Hillary know anyone who's handy with an icepick?

Holy crap.

Obama isn't far-left enough for Nader.

Chris Hedges is a very sensitive fellow. Barry Soetero has hurt his feelings deeply.
