Radio Ad Attacks Nader Over GOP Support
Group run by Democrats says "right-wing Republicans" and "extremists" aid Nader to help Bush. Characterizations aside, they've got a point.

Naderfactor.com -- an anti-Nader group staffed by former Dean, Clark, and Gephardt campaigners -- released a new radio ad July 13 saying Nader is getting help from Republicans in three key states in hopes of stripping votes away from Kerry.

It says, "The same right-wing Republicans that are anti-choice and anti-environment are suddenly pro-Nader."

The ad's use of the terms "right wing" (which it uses six times) and "extremist" (used twice) are debatable, as is the term "anti-environment." But it is well documented that some Republican-leaning groups have worked for Nader, and that a few wealthy Republican donors have given money to the Nader campaign.
