Look at how they treated Reagan and Bush compared to Carter and Clinton. Republicans have their own bad traits, even some forms of smugness, but nothing compared to the claimed intellectual superiority of the left

The two examples that you give just don't hold up. Clinton was castigated mightily all of his years in office (and still is) and Carter became synonomous with failure. Have you ever listened to talk radio, read any Republican blogs or payed any attention to the American conservative media juggernaut? Any casual examination would reveal that demonization is a bipartisan trait.
