I think that there is a big difference between (1) Anybody But Bush
and (2) Anybody But Bush and Nader, and among the latter, (3) those
who are opposed to the Nader campaign but do not make much of it and
(4) those who appear to spend more time bashing Nader than Bush.
It's impossible to expect civility from the last group, and it's
futile to expect them to amount to much politically.  They do more
harm than good, and that is not likely to change in the near future.
