"Michael Moore gives a glimpse of that game in his film, when he shows Al Gore gaveling the Black Congressional Caucus back to their seats while the white Congressional members stare stonily in silence. That footage could just as easily have been shot in 1930 as 2000."

Guest, DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!   Either you don't know the story behind that or you are nothing more than a Rush Limbaugh spin doctor.

A Senator could easily have signed the order.   If that happened it would have gone to a vote in the Senate. It would have split down the middle and the deciding vote would have gone to the Speaker - none other than Al Gore. Gore did not want to be in the position of making himself the President of the United States.   There was a reason why ONLY the black caucus protested.   They were disenfranchised. That is the point of the whole scene.

Why is it that whenever someone says something negative about Nader you call it "bashing" but you feel it is alright to bash Kerry. If you are progressive (which I sincerely doubt), you know you can't have it both ways.

Guest, you are nothing more than a baiter. You've given wrong information several times and never addressed it when you were called on it. You spew your opinion, which you are certainly entitled to. You come across as being so self-righteous. The closest you've come to a protest has been watching one on TV.
