Hannity [spelling?] brought in some guest/s to associate Obama with Marx.

But when?

In May 2007, Dell signed a mysterious "IP" deal, saying they had joined the Microsoft/Novell deal (their
description, not mine). A week later came that Fortune article ("Microsoft takes on the free world")
and the patent attacks from Microsoft, just before Dell started selling Ubuntu-based machines.

I still suspect that Dell pays Microsoft "royalties" for Ubuntu.
