The partisan name-calling started in 1995 against Clinton by the rightwing when they couldn't defeat him politically. The names were "rapist, murderer, drug-runner, thief" etc. All completely phony charges. People like Anne COulter were the ones dreaming up the scripts. Rove was in there too I'm sure. The partisan name-calling increased on the right after Bush-Cheney cheated to get into office. Gaining power gave the rightwing arrogance gall to start trying to rewrite history and blame liberals for everything under the sun, dewspite 8 years of successful Clinton-Gore governance. Then after 9-11 (when almost the whole country was united) rightwing radio in particular began their all-out demonizations of anyone disagreeing with Bush-Cheney. They started on the left and moved to the center. It was outrageous. And the whole time the Bushies were b usy lying, stealing and cheating. I remember the first time I got politically motivated to go against Bush. It was when I knew we in California were being criminally gouged by Bush-Cheney's best energy pals, and the RNC/Enron hired Ed Gillespie to run a 7 million smear campaign against Grey Davis, blaming HIM for the phony energy crisis. It was a case of blaming the victim. That's when I realized that this was a dishonest coup d'etat by the Texas rightwing and energy business primarily, and that it was a grave danger to our country, democracy, environment and fiscal security. At that point Enron and the Bush campaign were one.
