    Unforgiven Naderites

    Oh boo hoo! "an almost completely co-opted media climate that seems hellbent on ignoring them?" Just search the NYT for Code Pink, and you'll find that Media Benjamin is the public face of the peace movement. My personal theory is that she and her clownish followers are still trying to expiate their guilt for being Cheerleaders for Nader in 2000, throwing the election to Bush, and plunging us into Iraq. A couple thousand more lifetimes to accomplish that, in my opinion.
