I sometimes think that Salon has no respect for its own subscribers. The way she describes us is pretty awful. Salon depends on the very liberal, educated elite she decries and yet, cannot abide.
Obama's comments showed a real willingness to look at the matters as they stand, even if they are unpretty. Clinton's campaign seems to be willing to embrace the ugliness of American racism in order to win at all costs. As a Native American, that is something I wish Walsh could not abide, rather than "coastal liberals, lefty intellectuals, Ivy League check-writers and African-Americans", which, except for the latter, pretty much describes subscribers to her publication. I think us Native American, Ivy League-educated subscribers are probably pretty few and beign Obama supporters probably receive her scorn as well.
