I have felt for sometime now that the main motivating force behind the "Bush lied, people died" crowd is the notion that "they did it to Clinton, so we'll do it to Bush." And while there were those on the right that went to extremes in their criticism of President Clinton, the general level of vitriol and hate that Liberals have sunk to in their seething rage against Bush specifically and Republicans in general is totally out of proportion with reality and precedent. This reminded me of this sketch from Mystery Science Theater 3000:
Mike: And then the drunk guy says, "I can't help being an idiot; I'm Canadian."
Crow: Hahahaha. You're right! They're so pathetic, Mike!
Mike: Right, exactly.
Servo: Enough! There's been too much Canada-bashing for far too long. I say no more.
Mike: Don't you mean, "No more, eh?"
Crow: Good one, man! They are so stupid!
Servo: Stop it now! Instead, let us offer our northern brothers and sisters this song of tribute. Oh, I wish I was back in old Canada, a land which I never shall lampoon. How I pine for the ice covering Lake Manitoba and the beauty that is Saskatoon.
Mike: Oh, I got one. Oh, I wish I was stuck in the hills of Alberta drinkin beer with some big, dumb guy trapping fur.
Servo: Hey!
Mike: As he scraped and he chisled all the moose dung off his boot, I would learn that he's the prime minister.
Servo: Oh, stop that.
Crow: Oh, I wish I was in the land that gave us Peter Jennings, Alanis Morrissette, Mike Myers too...
Servo: Ah!
Crow: No, I take that back, I wouldn't go there even if you paid me! Oh, Canada, you are a place I must eschew.
Servo: Now this is not in the spirit that I intended.
Mike: Oh, come on. Give in. I mean, they gave us Ed the Sock... and Rush.
Crow: Yeah, what are you defending? They're such feebs!
Servo: Okay, I'll try.
Mike: Alright, good man!
Servo: Oh, I wish I was blowing up Prince Edward Island, then going on to bomb Ontario. Hehe. The destruction of Canada and all of its culture is by far my favorite scenario.
Mike: Okay, I think that's a little strong. You can back down...
Servo: Oh no, you were right, Mike. This is much more fun! Just where the hell does Canada get off sharing a border with countries far superior to it?
Crow: Yikes!
Servo: Why, you lousy, stinkin', Francophonic, bacon-lovin' bastards, your country's just a giant piece of sh...
Crow: Woah, woah, woah, woah! Geez!
Mike: Okay, I think that's enough! I think we've punched it. Cambot, okay. Thanks. Alright.
Servo: Sorry.
Crow: Wow.
Servo: I have no sense of proportion. I'm a disgrace to my uniform.
Mike: I know. That's, that's okay. Now calm down now. Mustn't hate, mustn't hate...
Crow: At least so overtly.
Mike:v Exactly, right. Must disguise our hate. Just a little, okay? We'll be right back. Shh, shh. It's okay now, Dudley. Calm down, calm down.
Servo: Pardon é mois! Pardon é mois!
Read and learn.
Who would they be?

Ah, MST3K of blessed memory. Perhaps tonight I'll raise a glass to my favorite action hero, Zap Rowsdower.
I thought there were some on FR who went over the top in the criticism of Clinton. However, I do think it was a small, but very loud, minority. However, its not even CLOSE to the rabid, foaming at the mouth, utter hatred for Bush that I see coming from MOST Democrats these days. They have surely lost their minds. Its kinda funny, if it weren't so sad..

Won't you be mi-i-ine!

Gigannnntorrrr.
Good point. I would have to agree.
LOL. Let's not forget Paul Anka. One of my favorites.
Gamera is really neat! He is filled with turtle meat! We all love you GAM-ERR-AAAA!!!
WOO-HOOOO!! I'm watching my MST3K season seven on DVD right now!!!
A friend to children everywhere!
Any excuse to bring up MST3K is a good excuse.
I really miss that show, especially after watching Xena in the made for TV movie about the giant bats.
It is interesting you chose to illustrate the whacky-ness of the left by comparing them to MST3K. Have you read what some of the major contributors to that show are doing now? They're all raging leftists! There was some "official" website which documents their present-day activities.
Regardless, I absolutely loved that show. Of course, it was a gateway to Red Green.
Quando omni flunkus moritati!
I believe Mike Nelson was a Bush supporter in the past election. He's no raving leftist. As for the others, you're probably correct.
MST3K ping.
