Oprah fans upset about Obama endorsement

From The Sunday Times: Women turn on ‘traitor’ Oprah Winfrey for backing Barack Obama

In the original post, a reader called austaz68 said she “cannot believe that women all over this country are not up in arms over Oprah’s backing of Obama. For the first time in history we actually have a shot at putting a woman in the White House and Oprah backs the black MAN. She’s choosing her race over her gender.”

Do Oprah’s fans really think so little of her that they’d assume she does, or should, choose a candidate based on race or gender? Or do you suppose this may be a bit of organized mischief on the part of another candidate’s supporters?
