This article practically compells anyone who thinks they are reasoned and moderate from considering the notion that Bush is the worst President ever, regardless of evidence to the contrary.

The author addressed that point. If the speaker offers reasonable "evidence to the contrary," then it's not hyperbolic:

>>For anyone to make such a claim would require a basic understanding of Presidential history, an objective standard for comparing other Presidents to George W, and an ability to make nuanced judgments. In other words, it requires the very skill set that would generally prevent a person from making such an inane claim in the first place.<<

As for your statements that this is an attack on liberals, note the author's use of the word, "nuance." When was the last time you saw a Bushie trying to foster nuance? That's gotta tell you that the guy is earnest and sincere regarding his stated objective. <g>
