Why is it that Hating on Kucinich is so Good but Criticizing Obama is so Bad?

I keep hearing that we need to support Democrats whether we agree with their policies or not, yet these same people trash a progressive like Kucinich with no sense of irony.

The chant "Let not the perfect be the enemy of the good" is blasted over the internet repeatedly yet the same people doing this seem to think a republican would be better than the Democratic congressman, Dennis Kucinich.

Those of us asking why Obama hasn't done anything to help the average person keep being told that he's "just the president" or "he needs more time" but these are the same ones who are currently plastering the net with the "Kucinich hasn't done anything" TPMs.

It's becoming apparent to even the least aware person that there is a concerted effort to disenfranchise any progressive from speaking up in favor of real Health Care Reform, supporting Unions, GLBT human rights, prosecuting torturers and other sensible, moderate ideas all in the name of expediency and practicality.

More than that, they are stifling real Democrats in the name of Obamacracy, a perversion of the Democratic party that once stood for the average guy, not he average CEO.

Hating on Kucinich is just the latest play from a disgusting and cynical book. Who will be next?
