Yes, I believe that is generally the rationalization.

"Our reasons for hating your guy are based solidly on fact. Your reasons for hating our guy are loony loony."

I'm not denying there were solid grounds on which to dislike Bush (and Obama now). I'm just saying that the left-wing crazy-people farts don't smell any better than right-wing crazy people farts.

I'm also not denying that the right-wing crazy people farts have gone more mainstream than did the left-wing crazy people farts.

I like saying X-wing crazy people farts. This will probably disrupt future Star Wars viewings.

Sorry Alex, but I don't remember much widespread protesting of Bush at all before the Iraq war. Regardless though, the right wing craziness we see now is much more intense, and has much more support from the establishment and the MSM than the anti-Bush variety ever did. The cartoon is all about the hypocrisy in the way the two sides are treated; and in that respect, it is dead on.
