Nader connected to a cult
Brian October 20th, 2004
It appears our good friend Nader has been busy trying to gain support for the upcoming election. However, in the mean time, he has ticked off the Green Party.
Doug Ireland first broke this story, linking Nader to cult leader Fred Newman. Here is how Ireland described the cult:
This cult is the antithesis of every value Nader holds dear. A Maoist grouplet in the ’70s, the Newmanites morphed into supporters of Pat Buchanan in the Hitler-coddling commentator’s 2000 takeover of the Reform Party. Newman recruits and controls his followers through a brainwashing scheme baptized “social therapy,” designed to create blind allegiance to Newman. He has frequently dipped his rhetoric in the poisonous blood-libel of anti-Semitism, denouncing Jews as “storm troopers of decadent capitalism.” By French-kissing the cultists to get on the ballot, Nader has allowed himself to be used as bait to lure the unsuspecting into the Newmanite orbit, where they risk being sucked into the cult. That’s a betrayal of the many young people to whom Nader is still a hero. And an acid commentary on Nader’s judgment.
As a result, the leaders of the Green Party have continued to distance themselves from Nader and offered more evidence of Nader’s connection to this cult. It is hard to believe, that but for the Green Party’s support of Nader four years ago, Al Gore would have been our president. I only hope people do not make the same mistake again this year and allow Bush a second term.
