You're delusional, or see things from bizarrely filtered media. Seriously.
One, any student of US history would find the current climate fairly normal.
Two, the "hate" is certainly less than vs Bush. We had major movies (Moore) spouting insanity about him. Posters not just calling him Hitler, but with cross hairs, or other death wishes. The Tea party is amazingly benign compared to that, frankly. Ever read Kos, or Huffpo during the Bush years? or DU? LOL. I recently started listening to Firewater, and their last albumn has a song saying they're gonna put Bush "in the ground" (
Hey Clown). Same song has the lyric "all my troubles are because of you and your pathetic crew." I laugh, it's a decent song actually, but he's so delusional if he thinks all his troubles are from the POTUS. That's just
silly. As silly as over-hyping the dislike of Obama.
