I've gotten even more angry at them, if that's possible. Doing activist work over the past 1.5 years has really opened my eyes to how truly butthurt people get over Obama/Dem criticism.

I mean, I turned out 50 people to a Bradley Manning support rally that called out Obama/Dems and ever since several activists have refused to speak to me. MoveOn joined us when we protested Romney, but after we protested Obama twice, they've totally ignored all my outreach attempts. Move to Amend is the same, can't be arsed to talk to me after we did the Manning stuff.

I fucking hate establishment neoliberal "leftists."

I guess Melissa Harris-Perry is among the ones denigrating West. Her focus topics can be really interesting, but she seems to have a mandatory time where she praises Obama and only reluctantly criticizes him.
