"Only the fringe left truly hated President Bush."
I agree. And only the radical right truly hates Obama.
Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, called Bush a "loser". Not hateful, but not respectful, either.
We're polarized, Spence. Obviously I agree. Obama is partly to blame, he's not a guy who can work with the other side. Bill Clinton, he ain't.
"The difference is now the hatred has gone mainstream"
Based on what? you're telling me that someone like Mitt Romney, or John McCain, "hate" Obama?
Here's what's different, Spence. And I'm right on this. When Bush was president, the left (including 99% of the media) claimed that "dissent was the highest form of patriotism". Now that we have a black Democrat in the White House, dissent is the lowest form of racism. That's how dissent is now portrayed, and you are buying into it.
