Any discussion of Nader is apt to elicit four letter words from normally civil people. It's sad. If we can't talk prospective Nader voters into supporting Kerry with our clear and compelling arguments, why would foul language work? And what purpose is served by expressing anger against someone who is honestly trying to do what he sees as his moral responsibility? We might sigh and shake our heads in sorrow to see him use the high road only to (potentially) foster a low blow, but we are wrong to attempt to deny his right to do so. He has a right to be wrong.

One poster - Jeffrey Biss whom I admire tremendously- on the above blog has been able to talk about Nader's goals without being marginalized, but he makes sure to preface his statements by saying that while he shares Nader's goals, he's voting for Kerry. You go, Jeffrey!
