I've read them. And sure they are savaging. But I'm not referring to the "savagers" as loyal Republican voters. And I've never savaged Bush because I give him a lot of credit in some areas. I can't do it in every psot. I think he's shown a lot of backbone to have stood up to the avalanche of unfair attacks. But I, along with others, have been critical, particularly on border issues, where I firmly believe criticism has been justified. Are we to go easy on him in the illegal immigration/amnesty areas just to compensate for unjust and intemperate attacks against him that we have not made? And as you allude, the true savagers they may well have been DU plants. Most of the rest of have been trying to help the POTUS do the right thing.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...but most of these self same people, claim to be life long REPUBLICAN voters. Of course, anyone who has been on FR for any length of time, knows full well, that many of them are fringers. No matter, the "serial caller play-book" is also alive and well and used on FR.
No, a LOT of the criticism has been WHOLLY unjustified and made by people who have very little understanding and comprehension of how government works and American history, for the past 100 years. What they appear to want, is NOT a president, but a benevolent dictator cum genie, who will do their bidding.
