Ralph Nader (news - web sites) is seeking an apology from a member of Congress who used what the independent presidential candidate called an "obscene racist epithet" when Nader met with black legislators last month. But the lawmaker denies uttering any obscenity to Nader and doesn't plan to apologize.
Nader says North Carolina Rep. Mel Watt made the remark at a June 22 meeting as some members of the Congressional Black Congress angrily demanded that he quit his presidential campaign.
In a letter sent Tuesday to Watt and Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus (news - web sites), Nader claims Watt called him "another arrogant white man" — with an obscenity included for emphasis.
"I had expected an expression of regret or apology from Congressman Watt in the subsequent days after he had cooled down," Nader writes in the letter.
Melissa Williamson, a spokeswoman for Watt, said the congressman did not use any obscenity against Nader.
The testy meeting featured several loud exchanges that reporters could hear outside the meeting room in the basement of the U.S. Capitol. Many Democrats are angry at Nader's campaign because they believe he will take votes away from John Kerry, the presumed Democratic nominee.

Oh and an extreme right group wants to help Nader get on the ballot in Oregon, they are out in the open about it now.
