Why did Kennedy's run to the convention not bring the same outrage as you take out on Hillary?

[2rth2pwr]

Kennedy came into the Democratic convention at Madison Square Garden in New York City with 1,225 delegates to Carter's 1,981 and 122 uncommitted. Kennedy's only chance to wrest the nomination from Carter, who had enough delegates to win, was to pass an "open rule" motion....

The Florida and Michigan delegations are currently counted at zero each after being stripped of their delegates by the DNC when they leap-frogged into the early voting calendar. Normally, the two states combined would boast more than 350 delegates. Clinton has made it clear she wants the Michigan and Florida delegations seated at the convention. She won Florida and, speaking at a rally there on Jan. 29, told supporters, "I promise you I will do everything I can that not only Florida's Democrats get seated but that Florida is in the winning column for the Democrats in November 2008."... http://news.nationaljournal.com/articles/080131nj1.htm

In 1980, after the convention floor debate, Kennedy picked up support from most of the uncommitted delegates, bringing his vote total to 1,390 -- still shy of the majority needed to pass the motion. Carter won the rule vote and Kennedy quickly conceded. Another 300 delegates would have been enough for Kennedy to pass the motion and throw that convention "wide open," Trippi said....

There are 795 super-delegates to the Democratic National Convention, Shea said. "They're the key to this whole process." Super-delegates include governors, members of a state's congressional delegation and former officeholders. "Super-delegates tend to be more the establishment wing of the party -- not exactly the Obama group," he said. "They're a crucial piece of the brokered convention. DNC rules stipulate they don't have to vote for the candidate, even the one they've endorsed."

This is relevant to today-

The debate was over whether delegates should have to vote for the candidate they'd been pledged for, or have an "open" vote during which they could pick Kennedy or Carter, Trippi recalled in an interview. The back story being that the economic and international political situation had deteriorated between the time most people voted and the time of the convention, opening the door to Kennedy, who was billed as a change candidate. "It went all the way down to the wire,"

This time many more delegates and votes were made before Rev Wright hit the national stage.

Why is Kennedy lionized for his courage in that fight and Hillary is called every name in the book by Obama suporters?
