Dr. Harry G. Levine,
I had assumed that the author of the VV hatchet-job on Nader was some snot-nosed kid on George Soros's payroll. I was surprised to discover that it was instead written by a Queens College sociology professor:

(My advice, btw, is to trim the hair and beard. You are not 30 any more.)
You have 2 articles on your website, one the VV article with the racist title and a similar one with the alternative title "RALPH NADER AS MAD BOMBER". What's with the bomb obsession, anyhow? If you had allowed yourself just a tad more rhetorical excess, you might have wound up with something like "Ralph Nader, oily Arab, go back where you came from."
I see that you relied on the wretched G. William Domhoff for advice on your articles. This makes perfect sense. 35 years ago he earned some distinction for analyzing American class structure. In more recent years his attention seems to have turned toward the study of dreams and the need to vote for any Democrat, no matter how stinky. These two topics are obviously closely related.
My suggestion to you is to take some Paxil or something to get rid of this obsession with Ralph Nader. Furthermore, you should not blame him for Gore's defeat in 2000. My old friend Peter Camejo told a news conference that over 200,000 registered Democrats in Florida voted for Bush that year. He also was sure that not a single Green Party member voted for Bush. If so, he demanded that the person turn himself in immediately. --
