it is more about power and the loss of control. There is this sense in the right that they know better, it is part of the hierarchical ideological frame they operate in. Clinton faced the same 'hate' - call it what you will - and was hounded till a private incident gave the conservatives their high moral (?) ground. Ask which party wants to control your actions and you get a sense of why conservatism is so lost after a democratic majority told them go away.
well, the simple fact is that we actually do 'know better.' it's a function of our means to reason and your stark lack of that simple means.
And it's not ideologically heirarchial... It's the natural order... And yes, americans tended towards a visceral, intense dislike for bubba; often in ways that evoked feelings of anger, hostility, or animosity... But there was innumerable intellectually sound, logically valid, well reasoned... Reasons. This in contrast to the irrational unsound, ethereal, logically invalid poorly reasoned visceral, intense dislike the left has to dislike gw bush... Who was more like them than he was like us.
lol!
