Politics as Usual

So I read some conservative blogs, right? And a theme that they keep repeating is the level of incivility from liberals directed towards the president. They don't just disagree with his politics, they say, but they also hate the man.

Uh, yeah. Welcome to the modern world. Did you not notice the bile and bug-eyed hatred so many prominent conservatives directed at Clinton during his eight years in office? And I'm not going to get into who deserves it more - Clinton and Bush both have faults by the bushel. That's not the point. The point is the other team's main guy isn't just the leader of the opposition; he's the enemy. Is that good? Bad? I don't know. But it's how things are.
