Seeing Red Over Nader's Comment about Obama "Talking White"

Sybil Adelman Sage | Bio

Ralph Nader, in an effort to undermine Barack Obama, is accusing him of trying to "talk white" and appealing to "white guilt." Nader, who clearly has no guilt of any color about having served as the home wrecker of the Democratic party in elections pasts, is hoping to be viewed as a serious presidential candidate.

Is Nader looking to create a color war between those who "talk green" and those who "talk white?" Obama responded graciously, acknowledging Nader's positive contributions to environmental causes before disputing the criticism. But many are seeing red over Nader's self-serving attack.
