We almost feel pity for Ralph Nader, he's stooped so low in attempting to claim the "progressive" mantel this election. Now the news comes out - according to the Federal Election Commission and United Progressives for Victory - that Nader's accepting money from the same donors who funded the demonstrably false smear campaign propagated by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
Travis Anderson, Brian Pilcher, Donald Burns, Rex Martin and Oliver Grace, who contributed $13,500 to air the baseless Swift Boat attack ads derailing John Kerry's war record in August have given $8,000 to Nader over the past few months. That's on top of the $6,000 Nader took from donors who gave $217,000 to the right-wing antitax extremists at the Club for Growth. Nader's now accepted $100,000 total from GOP donors and consultants. A record to run away from, in campaign parlance.
