Calling me ignorant, then arguing semantics. A quick Google search on "nader" "no difference" pulls up plenty of references, and plenty of other "ignorant" people 
Here's Sam Donaldson:
Quote:
DONALDSON: But he says he would not open the Wildlife Arctic Refuge to oil exploration; Bush would. He says he would prevent new roads in national forests for logging; Bush would not. You say that’s not a difference?
NADER: Those are linguistic differences

If that sounds illogical coming from a candidate who simultaneously proclaims that there is "no difference" between Democrats and Republicans

This said, Nader is himself guilty of gross rhetorical distortions, notably his stock declaration that there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats. Sure, I have days when I feel that way, but anyone concerned about abortion, the environment, gun control, gay rights, tax cuts, the Supreme Court, or the U.S. Constitution knows better.

"You cannot believe what I have had to live with, in terms of most people's opinion about how Ralph and the Greens stole the election," she says. "The biggest part of their anger is that he did refer to Gore and Bush as tweedlee-dee and tweedlee-dum, and continued to say that there was no difference. When in fact we all know there were some major differences. My local organizing will be totally destroyed."

There's plenty more, but why should I waste my time with these ignorant fools. Don't they know it's "little difference," not "no difference?"
edit: just saw this one, here's a whole page of quotes on and by Nader:
