It bothers me too. But saying he's "embraced" the right for helping him to get on the ballot is disengenuous, and you know it. He's done nothing of the sort. Perhaps if the Democrats stopped acting like fascists bastards and stopped putting up all kinds of roadblocks in every state to prevent Nader from running, this wouldn't be necessary.
Besides, perhaps you're too young to remember, but the right helping Nader is the same dirty tricks the Democrats used on Perot years ago. I don't recall the Republicans whining about having a strong third-party candidate as much as the Democrats do. It's this kind of hypocrisy and abandonment of principles that's turned me off to the War Party Lite. You like the Democrats? You can have them.
