because Hayden was in the forefront of the Civil Rights movement. If Hayden decided to rape Michele Obama, Barack should not criticize him because Hayden was beaten up doing what is right as a youth? Of course, this is an exaggerated example, but the idea is the same: if I do anything to help you, you cannot criticize anything I do or say.
As you can see, I am not an Obama fan...never have been. But to tie his hands on whom he can criticize based on their history seems ridiculous to me. As an African American, I am grateful that Tom Hayden did what he did, but I am not going to enslave myself to his ideas because of it. That being said, I am a Tom Hayden Democrat.
