Uncle Tom with a '?' so not really. I'd like to give credit to chrisblask over at MyDD but I didn't see this post here on kos.

Clearly racial under tones. Just because your liberal does not mean you can't be racist, or have stereotype beliefs or biases. I think there are many northerners who fit the profile, who would swear they can't be racist because they support democrats. I counter what do you call some Dixiecrats in the south, they to claim to be democrats. This diary is about Ralph Nader however. How marginalized is this guy trying to become. Does he just like being in the news headlines, so he thinks of some whacked out thing to say to make it in time for prime time. This is the a day after the election of the 1st African American President and he drops the Uncle bomb. Like Italy's Prime Minister Berlousconi joking about Obama being evenly tanned, yes this may be a joke, but why refer to his color in your first comment on him being elected President of the USA

For years Ralph Nader have railed against Kerry and Gore, holding back no punches. Not once that I can recall he referred to Kerry or Gore as an Uncle Tom or anything that referred to their racial/ethnic background to get his point across. Nader takes a page out of the repug playbook by use of the "?". His argument, he did not call Obama an Uncle Tom just questioned will he become one. Why did he see the need to use the term 'Uncle Tom', would that make his argument any more poignant or meaning full. We all know and are familiar with Nader's narcissistic personality. Unfortunately that is no effective treatment for it, but I think it's a consequence of a big head as a result of being heralded as a consumer advocate in his former life.

Ironic that Faux News was the one to call him on it first, even though I'm pretty sure Faux has some alterer motive for this, that most likely has nothing to do with helping or defending President-elect Obama. We'll see.
