Wow...Salon, led by Anti-Obama Activist Joan Walsh, has now managed to find yet ANOTHER thing to bash Obama about, and this time, it's arcane software issues.

Do you guys have ANY shame, and is there ANYTHING you won't do to help Hillary get elected?

What's your point? How DARE a company side with a Democrat, and one that ISN'T Hillary, right Salon?

Do you have some sort of big monthly calendar up there on Salon's office wall, with an ongoing schedule of which Salon department will trash Obama this week -- rotating between White House CommDirectorWannabe Joan Walsh, the confused self-hating Debra Dickerson, Farhad Manjoo and others?

What should we expect in coming weeks?

Heather Havrilesky or Stephanie Zacharek deconstructing Obama's latest TV appearances and finding them wanting?

A letter to Cary Tennis, describing someone's disillusionment with Obama and what to do about feeling cast adrift to choose another candidate?

Or shall we look for Patrick Smith, in Ask the Pilot, discussing Obama's inferior airline choices, and how when he flies coach, his knees push up against the seat in front of him, making the passenger in front of him uncomfortable?

Give me a freaking break, Salon.

Your political agenda is transparent, and frankly, it's gotten outright UNCONSCIONABLE.

The actual post that Farhad links to is not conspiratorial or accusatory. Farhad's is, though, of course. Because it's coverage of Obama, at Salon, and by nature, it almost always must be designed to take Obama down.

The original article says that IF this happened (and it's not clear that it did), and IF having the advance information constituted a "corporate donation" under federal guidelines (which is not a "given" as there's no financial value assigned to "social networking"), then it MIGHT be (not IS) some sort of campaign finance violation.

It's also just as possible that the Obama campaign jumped quickly on this, and was lucky enough to have on staff the Facebook guy who could put together an application quickly. If he knew what was coming down the pike at Facebook, and that allowed them to be ready to jump the minute the new apps were usable, then GOOD FOR OBAMA FOR GETTING THIS GUY ON STAFF.

And tough luck to the other candidates. Some candidates get lots more money than others. Some have smarter staff. Some have better skills at organizing events. Others have online savvy.

It's called COMPETITION and CAMPAIGNING folks.

Have we gotten to the point where being fortunate enough to have an advantage is something wrong?

This is not Republicans sending out flyers in Maryland trying to confuse people about Michael Steele's party affiliation, or trying to get African Americans to the polls on the wrong day -- and NEVER called to account about..

This is not Diebold, or Halliburton, or Carylye Group, which have REAL political influence and power, and G-d knows WHAT illegal and nefarious activities they are involved in -- and NEVER called to account about.

This is not individuals forming groups so that they can funnel campaign donations through corporate PACs, so that they can put together Swiftboat smear campaigns.

If next week, Myspace announces some sort of new development, and Hillary Clinton has a former Myspace staffer who takes advantage of it before the other candidates, then, lucky Hillary...

Debra,

So far, we know you can't stand Barack Obama. Or his wife. You've told us enough about it, ad nauseum, here on Salon.

You've already written about your children, and your confusion about them racially.

Now we have this piece.

Frankly, could you be any more negative about your own race?

Is there ANYTHING positive you can say about being African-American/black/insert the "Debra Dickerson preferred and approved terminology of the day" here?

Anything?

No, I didn't think so.

P.S. I'm SO glad that I didn't have to work with you. I have to wonder if haranguing your coworkers about their lunches and weight was the least irritating part of your presence.... You really do come off like a HUGE P.I.T.A. in every way...
