Not just the libs, but the third party misfits and also those primary opponents such as McCain, Keyes and Buchanan.
I think there's more to it though. It's sort of a mob fury mentality thing. These haters enjoy the feeling of hating someone with such intensity. The hate feels good to them. It's also, in perverse circles, hip to hate him. Sheeple like to fit in, hence the hate.
I've never seen anything like it. I think Bush is a good looking, sincere and congenial man with a very nice way about him. I can't stand all the hate directed at the man. It must be hurtful to him. He's only human. Laura told Larry King that it hurts her. I adore the man.
This article says with great economy why I am voting for Bush. He is the better man.
After much thought, I have deduced that there is no valid reason for any normal American to HATE President Bush, DemoRat or not. They can disagree all they want, but W has said or done nothing that justifies hatred.
I have concluded that there are two types of abnormal Americans that HATE the President. The first are criminals and perverts; they hate Bush because he will not pardon or validate (respectively) their actions. The second are DemoRat clones that blindly follow the instructions of the first group.
That's it, simply criminals and perverts crassly using the stupid to promote their ability to continue and expand criminal activity and perversion.
Those are the people that hate Bush and that is why.

My inlaws think like the lefties described here. I can't understand it, they seem so level headed otherwise.
I think the author is mistaken. The depth of feeling is from finally coming to realize that they're no longer in the majority. Bush is a just handy target.
The left loves moral relativism because it allows them to promote their "anything goes" agenda. They know that getting people to accept small cultural changes will eventually allow them to sell huge cultural changes. Then along comes a George Bush and points out that some things are black and white, some countries are evil, and some actions don't require a lot of hand wringing. He threatens their plans for our culture and they hate him for it.
Excellent article. It pays to study one's enemy, even if it's a trip into lunacy.
