One of the fundamental characteristics of irrational hatred. "Person X did y wrong, therefore everything done thereafter is wrong."

Hey, I think Bill Clinton was the sorriest excuse for a president to ever walk this earth, but I wouldn't argue that every last decision he made in office was wrong.

Unfortunately things in politics get so polarized that people lose their ability to consider each issue rationally, one by one.
