What Kanye wanted to talk about, even though it was a bit discombobulated, he made several points that everyone should take notice of. I would even say that most of these issues are issues the Democrats could support, if they can stop screaming "uncle tom" for a few moments and get over being butt hurt.
1) Prison Reform - Kanye feels that prisons are cheap labor and that if we can bring those jobs back to factories, this will keep inner city poor black from returning to prison. He wants to break the cycle with more factory jobs/training.
2) Use less fossil fuels. Isn't that a huge sticking point for the left? He even said the pres should ride in a Hydrogen powered Air Force One.
3) America needs to be the best at everything. Nothing wrong with wanting to be successful. If you do something do it to the fullest and the best that you can do.
4) He feels that the US needs to support everyone and that we are caught up in racism. He would like help for everyone, not just blacks/whites. It's not about race.
5) Kanye wants to end stop and frisk to improve relations with police.
So my question is this.. Why do democrats suddenly hate Kanye? They were his best friend when he criticized the handling of the Hurricane Katrina aftermath.
If those are truly his positions, why does the right love him?
Because, I feel that there's a desire on the right to fix this broken country. As Americans, they are trying to help all people. Not all topics can or will be addressed, but I don't see the country as left and right. I see it as hand-in-hand. It takes a village after-all.

Is their hatred purely political?
It isn't that odd that Democrats would criticize a Trump supporter. More insidious is major media presenting his remarks as "bizarre", taking them out of context and making no attempt at a fair summary.
