Thou shalt not point out DU Hypocrisy. Oh, I know the arguments. The First Lady is not political. Nuts. She campaigned with her husband. She was at a political fund raiser, which is by definition a political event. Did she handle it well? Well enough certainly. Was the heckler out of line? Free speech means you get to be an a-hole, and shouting down is a time honored tactic we Progressives have used before.

Many of us think the President is not left enough, he's left his base. If you were in the same room with someone who had unfettered access to him, or actually him, would you bring up some of your issues with him? If you would, you are principled in your beliefs, the principles come first, the party second. If you would not, then you are a party over principle individual, which is your right. Just as it is the right of the principle over party individual to demand their issue get heard, if only in a shouted slogan.
