Talk:Ralph Nader 2004 presidential campaign

message: Possibly the names of all the parties Nader was endorsed by could be presented on the page in a more organized way.  There are some that are missing, e.g. NY: Independence Party of New York and the Peace and Justice Party. I'm not sure how to improve it though. Esquizombi 04:55, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The Washington Times is a reliable source for news citations. The Washington Times “Inside Politics” July 13, 2004 column reported:
Presidential candidate Ralph Nader, in a letter yesterday to the Congressional Black Caucus, demanded an apology from Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Maryland Democrat and caucus chairman, for luring him to a meeting under the premise that issues would be discussed.
From the letter:
"Instead, exclamations at the meeting descended into vituperative, (e.g., Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick's tawdry, anatomical comment yelled loud enough so the press could hear it outside) and ending with the obscene, racist epithet repeated twice by Yale Law School alumnus Congressman Melvin Watt of North Carolina, "Just as African-Americans demanded an apology from [Nixon-Ford era] Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz and Senator Trent Lott -- prior to their resignation and demotion, respectively -- for their racist remarks, I expect that you and others in the caucus will exert your moral persuasion and request an apology from Congressman Watt.
"Attached are the exact words of Congressman Watt's loud remarks, as heard by all in the meeting room without anyone admonishing him. In fact, some members rather enjoyed what he said, judging by their outward demeanor.
"The remarks: ‘You're just another arrogant white man -- telling us what we can do -- it's all about your ego -- another [expletive] arrogant white man.’"Editors (July 13, 2004) “Inside Politics: Apology Demanded.” Washington Times. (Retrieved 6-2-12.)
It was a telling episode in the 2004 presidential election campaign. This Wikipedia article reports that Nader demanded an apology for remarks made by Congressman Melvin Watt. Readers of the article are therefore entitled to know what those remarks were. Nader reported them in his letter to the Congressional Black Caucus: “You're just another arrogant white man -- telling us what we can do -- it's all about your ego -- another [expletive] arrogant white man.” Does anybody know what the expletive was? Or what the “obscene, racist epithet” was? And then there’s Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick's “tawdry, anatomical comment” toward Nader. What was that? 
The mind reels. A racial epithet hurled twice. Accusations of arrogance. A tawdry, anatomical comment. Nader got roughed up pretty bad that day at the Congressional Black Caucus and he asked for an apology. Obviously this episode and the comments by Watt belong in the article. And obviously, the "arrogant white man" remarks were made. Nader reported them himself. Please, let’s not white-wash like that in Wikipedia. Let’s tell it like it is. No white-washing please. 207.158.58.188 (talk) 03:40, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
