Open Left

Disgraceful

I speak as someone whose life and that of my three year old son was likely saved by Nader's auto safety accomplishments last month-about which I published a short diary here.

Suffice to say that had Nader not made this one of his numerous objectives, the auto industry would still be marketing demonstrably unsafe products and many tens of thousands (that is not an exaggeration) of men, women and children would not be living and breathing.

Also, suffice to say that if you (or I) spend the rest of our lives working all day and all night with unshaking resolve and passionate intensity we will be lucky if we accomplish a tiny fraction of what Nader achieves in a year.

This is scurrilous and ignorant and should be retracted immediately.
