George Shadroui examines the phenomenon of Bush-hatred as expressed in the avalanche of books it has engendered. He pays particular attention to the two most influential of the books, those by Richard Clarke and Joe Wilson. Along the way he explodes myths and exposes the rank partisanship of the attacks by the Left on issues ranging from Kyoto to Halliburton to Enron. A pretty long piece, but one that might be a "keeper" for later in the campaign.
Jonah Goldberg has some thoughts on Bush-hatred and how the Bush campaign has so far failed to capitalize politically (as Clinton did) on the fact that most of Middle America is repelled by this extremist "hate" rhetoric.
