Ralph Nader Calls Barack Obama ‘Uncle Tom’

By gravyandbiscuits On November 6, 2008 · 10 Comments · In Music

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.

You posted the doctored version. Post the undoctored version so everyone can hear how FOX cut the audio off after the word “corporations”, effectively deleting the rest of Nader’s statement. Otherwise your just spreading twisted versions of reality, and are part of the problem.

This kind of vitriol from Democrats lacks all credibility, considering their own accusations against Colin Powell some years ago. People were actually CALLING Powell an Uncle Tom, unlike Ralph Nader, who did not call anybody anything.

Barack Obama is a very special person since he is the first black president of the United States of America. his ability as a president is also very good and his plans for economic recovery is a good one.

Barack Obama may be a charismatic leader but somehow his economic policies are not that great in my own opinion. But still i am thankful that a Obama is the current president of the unitied states.

I i just want to leave a quick thoughts to mention that your website was good. I came across it on google search after dealing with loads of other information that’s probably not related. I thought I’d come across this much earlier thinking about how very good the info is.
