There are plenty of "nuts" to go around and I think you are just a bit blinded by you political beliefs.

I heard many of the things said about Bush and they never rose to level of pure hatred that I have heard about Obama. Ridicule - yes, disdain - yes, disrespect - yes, spit in your eye hatred - no! Obama is not "my guy", and yes it is worse than it has been in the recent past.

There were plenty of people who called Pres. Bush and his whole family names and still do, but then they think he deserves it and Obama doesn't.

See above^
It is all bad no matter who is being targeted like those who called for Dick Chaney to die or be killed. I would think that is worse than being called a name, don't you?

There is hardly a politician I would invite to my house, even the one I vote for.
