Walsh is still too disingenuous
To me, the quotes around "outraged" in the headline imply the authenticity of the word is in doubt, like this is what Obama says, but he may not mean it. As does the post.
It strikes me this way due to the tone and manner of all of Joan's previous posts, which have often been less than genuine in intent and honesty.
Meanwhile, Obama, for those who want to demonize his campaign, is damned if he embraces Wright, a betrayer if he doesn't. Which is as bad as Clinton haters who act like not agreeing with her policies or tactics proves she's beyond human redemption.
Obama has now had to repeatedly denounce various black leaders under relentless press pressure. Meanwhile McCain has abandoned his integrity far more than either of these candidates at their worst moments and the AP gives him donuts and altered his words to support the claim a new DNC ad is misquoting him.
At what point will Salon recognize race as a force of bias in the media like gender?
At what point will Joan just admit she wants Clinton to win and it influences her writing?
I'm not saying one can't have an opinion, it should just be presented honestly and be informed.
