the issue of whether the animus toward Bush is different from that toward Clinton.

Oh, yeah. Much different. Clinton had a reputation as a scoundrel before he was elected, and events afterward just confirmed that beyond everyones imagination. The initial hatred of Clinton was there just as "Business." He was a Democratic President. But the right is more concerned with Public personal morality than the left is, and they went ballistic over the continuing scandals. It became very personal.

You see this with Bush in the "Moron," etc, charges, which I considered "Business," not personal. They hate what Bush is doing, not what he is. The personal attacks are just window dressing.

The present hatred of Bush by the left is very ideological. Never, during the worst of the Clinton hatred, was the Right hoping for deaths of our Soldiers in Bosnia as a way to stop Clinton. It wasn't about issues with him. But you see that daily from the Left today as a way to stop Bush. Just read the posts from the left on FA if you don't believe me. Or any of the radical left Dem sites.
