In a recent column, David Corn bemoans what his friend Jonathan Alter refers to as the "Obama Hate Machine (OHM)." Corn concludes, "That's an appropriate name for the right-wing attack network that will throw any charge it can concoct -- regardless of the facts -- at the president."
This from the man who, in 2004, penned The Lies of George W. Bush, where, in the introduction, he declares, "George W. Bush is a liar. He has lied large and small, directly and by omission. He has mugged the truth-not merely in honest error, but deliberately, consistently, and repeatedly."
According to Corn, among Bush's top ten lies were:
•"I have been very candid about my past." •"I'm a uniter, not a divider." •"We must uncover every detail and learn every lesson of September the eleventh." •Number 1: "It's time to restore honor and dignity to the White House."
Of course, these statements -- the best Corn had, mind you -- are not lies at all, but things with which Corn simply disagreed. The mental manipulation necessary to turn such words into "lies" certainly qualifies one for what is now known as "Bush Derangement Syndrome."
Barely two years from the 9/11 attacks, in September of 2003, writing for Time magazine, Charles Krauthammer notes that "Democrats are seized with a loathing for President Bush -- a contempt and disdain giving way to a hatred that is near pathological -- unlike any since they had Richard Nixon to kick around." As a result of this behavior, Krauthammer discovered what he considered a psychiatric affliction: Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS).
Consider these statements about President George W. Bush:

Obama gets the same respect from me my President got from them!
None.
Anything written or said in an interview by these people should include a disclaimer that they conspired to shred Sarah Palin, minimize the impact of Jeremiah Wright and do whatever was necessary to get Hussein elected.
This is a picture of a Liberal projecting.
RedEye moment: Pelosi knows being a fine leader like I know being a mind reader--and, I can't read minds, people.

Remember “Dissent is Patriotic”!
Absolutely!
...Remember the bulk of the hate machine’s voice were muslims.....global muslims and internal muslims and pinkos.
Corn concludes, "That's an appropriate name for the right-wing attack network that will throw any charge it can concoct -- regardless of the facts -- at the president."
That's a darn lie.
I've never accused Obama of being Patriotic...
or Straight.
...... 
Barack Obama loves his country, but GW Bush loved mine.
Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies
to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule —
and both commonly succeed, and are right.
I’ve never accused Corn of those things either.
BDS/OHM entertainment
We should just presume that he is eligible to be President.
That's what the Left would do if the President were a conservative who grew up in Germany and went to Nazi schools.
OMG!
The 1st time I saw *him* on TV my Gaydar needle went off the scale.
