Many folks on the left hate President Bush with as much vehemence as many on the right hated President Clinton. Need proof?

RWN has the Ten Worst Quotes from Democratic Underground from 2003. My favorite:

9) “Doesn’t a part of you wish that Queasy and Duh-day were alive?

I’ll admit they’re scum and rightfully so, but anything that lands as even more humiliation on W’s grotesque shrivelled face is that much the better.

It’s sad, really, that as despicable as they are, Saddam’s family seems to be the lesser of two evils when you compare them to the wretched little b*stard* occupying the White House and destroying America in the process...”—thermodynamic

5) “The capture of Saddam is all fine and good, but does how does this help someone facing a bleak Christmas because they lost their job? How does this help someone with an illness who just lost their insurance coverage? How does this help someone who’s underemployed, working several jobs and struggling to pay the mortgage? It just don’t make me any money.”—bushwentawol [ed., this is the epitome of selfishness (or at the very least, small-mindedness - how many people in Iraq wouldn’t have faced Christmas at all if Hussein wasn’t deposed?]
