With a passion. They hated him then, the way liberals hate George W. Bush now.
They always want some whipping boy to hound out of office. Whether it is Richard Nixon over Alger Hiss, Newt Gingrich over the Contract With America, George HW Bush over Ronald Reagan ("end 12 years of Reagan-Bush), Rove, DeLay, Frist, Libby, Cheney, Bush....
They can't win at the polls so their accomplish it by smear.
