Your selectors are wrong. You aren't using descendent selectors
for .article. You are saying .hm #news_snip .date has the color green
AND ALSO .article has the color green, because of the comma. That
means you have two declarations for .article, and the second one is
over-riding the first.
In your second example, notice the lack of a comma.
> .hm #events_snip .date, .article { color: red; }
> .hm #news_snip .date, .article { color: green; }
>
>
> .hm #events_snip .article { color: yellow; }
> .hm #news_snip .date, .article { color: green; }
