This cult is the antithesis of every value Nader holds dear. A Maoist groupletGreens for Impact , an organization of "principled, pragmatic Green Party members and progressive populists dedicated to the goal of defeating George W. Bush", has issued further evidence of the Nader-Newman alliance. Though Nader's spokesman has denied Ireland's accusations, the facts speak for themselves.
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.
