There's a significant amount of hyperbole, vitriol, and hysteria in the opposition of the current administration as there was a significant amount of hyperbole, vitriol, and hysteria in the opposition of the previous administration. Which has been more rampant? Bush Derangement Syndrome or Obama Derangement Syndrome?
I voted for Bush. Simply because he had 2 terms while Obama is still in his first. But the vitriol and extreme hatred for anything Obama............including the First Lady for crying out loud is astounding. Even during the BDS Bush hating years I don't remember anyone calling Mrs. Laura Bush a fat ass or an angry (color of skin) woman.
I have a lot more experience with ODS because of the area I live in, so I'll have to go with that. I'm sure if I lived in say, San Francisco, It would be more towards BDS.
I think they are about equal. Both are very silly in my opinion. I didn't agree with a lot of things Bush did but never hated him. I'm sure reasonable people on the other side (like McCain for instance) feel the same way about Obama that I do about Bush. There are a lot of unreasonable people on both sides out there. I suspect there are a higher percentage of them online than in the bricks and mortar world.
