1. Who certifies anything snopes says is true?
2. Perhaps, Maureen didn't print it...doesn't mean someone else didn't write it...and/or...perhaps there is more to the story. After all, someone wrote it.
3. Snopes didn't in any way contradict in sufficient terms the material of the article.
4. It's at least as plausible as anything coming from the mouth of anyone at the Democratic national convention.

1. You haven't proven it to be a hoax. Sure, the author may be disputed, but there are alternate reasons/explanations for this.

2. I personally went to opensecrets.org and found that indeed almost $200million in Obama donations aren't listed by donor because they are for less than $200 each. According to the story, there were allegedly 13million individual donations on the internet that accounted for much of this and it was these donations that were alleged to come from China/Saudi arabia. I see no evidence that this isn't the case and the original article merely claims that there should be an investigation of this. It seems to me it'd be wrong to allow china/saudis to influence our election if this were the case.
3. BTW, after perusing the larger donors to Obama, I'd like an explanation as to why so many $4600 donors are unemployed and from so few addresses
