I think it's in bad taste. It's the Democratic National Convention; not the Barack Obama National Convention. If you can't bring yourself to attend your own party's quadrennial coming-together, maybe you need to find another party.
That said, a party that wants to have a sustainable majority in the long-term needs to be a big tent and be welcoming to the people who are with them 51% of the time as much as they are to the ones who are with them 100% of the time. It's even more critical that Democrats do this. While hardcore Tea Party conservatives are 20% of the electorate at best, the percentage who would constitute a left-wing equivalent would be even smaller.
