Ralph Nader Calls Barack Obama ‘Uncle Tom’

Ralph Nader is in some hot water for calling President-Elect Barack Obama an Uncle Tom.  Nader said,

“To put it simpy, he is our first African-American president, or he will be.  And we wish him well. But his choice, basically, is whether he’s going to be Uncle Sam for the people of this country, or Uncle Tom for the giant corporations.”

Shepard Smith on FOX News gave Nader a chance to redeem himself, asking if there was maybe something else he meant to say rather than something so racist.  However, Nader stood by his accusation.  I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen FOX News defend Obama!  Nader must be getting senile, or is just bitter that he’s run for President a hundred times and never stands a chance.
