Plenty of presidents have generated intense feelings, of course, but Democrats - and even some Republicans - think the phenomenon is outsized this year.

Um...there is no possible way the left's feeling can be more intense against Bush than ours were against The Perjury Pres. The only difference is, the media is taking notice this time because they share the sentiment.

Not only isn't that true, but the anger we felt for Clinton was for things he actually did, not just because he was on the opposite side of the isle.

"The only difference is, the media is taking notice this time because they share the sentiment."

There's one more difference: Those people who despised Clinton were marginalized and belittled by the media as "Clinton-haters" or part of the "vast right-wing conspiracy." In the case of Bush, the media has made no attempt to admonish those with this same hatred...and in fact, they almost take pride in reporting this hatred, in an attempt influence others.
