Democrats like Hitchens who openly complained about Clinton were typically acknowledging that he is an individual of poor character. Some people who agreed with Clinton on policy were honest enough to admit that he is a bad person, and yes, that should be applauded by conservatives.
This stuff is purely political, and I'm sorry, but I have no appreciation for "conservatives" whose mission it seems to be to make arguments for Democrats, and who cannot give President Bush the benefit of the doubt on anything.
If you aren't alarmed by it, that's certainly your prerogative - but if my posts suddenly started turning up on D.U. and were being applauded, I believe I'd do a little soul-searching.
DU is nothing more than a mutual admiratioon society. Anyting they do, say or react upon is meaningless.
