Words to live by"Encourage free schools and resolve that not one dollar appropriated for their support shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian schools. Resolve that neither the state nor nation, nor both combined, shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford every child growing up in the land of opportunity of a good common school education, unmixed with sectarian, pagan, or atheistical dogmas. Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church and the private school supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate."

Er
No one advocated banning him from running, yet that seems to be what you are arguing against.
Most of my detestation of the man is that a.) his ego dominates his decisions to a destructive degree, and b.) he has sacrificed practicality in actually DOING something for the environment for a level of dogmatic purism that outdoes that of the Republican Party. I don't like that kind of dogma when it's neo-Con, I don't like it when it comes from Communists and I don't like it when it comes from Greens. Anyone who takes the attitude "if you aren't with us your against us" reminds me of Bush. Nader reminds me of Bush these days.
As for candidates campaigning on spin, hate speech, and other distortions of fact, Nader did exactly the same. In fact he did so more than Gore did, though perhaps less than Bush. So don't give me the angelic, pure St. Nader crap. He has embraced Republlican support, lied about Gore's environmental record, calling it equivalent to Bush's (talk about spin and distortion) and...well don't think he's done hate speech. But neither do most Democrats and even a large minority of Republicans as far as I am aware, so that is hardly an accomplishment.
