122. So, from your link:
"To briefly review, the Matthew 25 Network is spearheaded by Mara Vanderslice, who served as director of religious outreach for Kerry-Edwards in 2004, and who has been active in encouraging Democratic candidates to discuss matters of spirituality more openly on the campaign trail.
...
But keep in mind, the ads aren’t coming from Barack Obama or anyone associated with his campaign or the party — this is an independent Christian PAC, targeting Christian voters, on Christian radio, with a Christian message."

which is basically the same as, from The Times:

"Although not formally linked to Mr Obama's campaign, the network is part of a concerted effort to prise off a chunk of a Christian vote that has long been regarded as the more or less exclusive preserve of Republican presidential candidates."

So how is the article "fucking with the Democrats"? Because they didn't mention Mara Vanderslice by name? I'm sure she'll live without the namecheck - I doubt she's doing this for her own ego.
