I'm not sure that I hate George Bush, as hate is a very strong word. I dislike many of his policies, though:
-record budget deficits
-excessively religious rhetoric
-opposition to basic civil liberties
-dreadful mismanagement of the situations with North Korea, Syria, and Iran
Yeah, I also hold him personally accountable for flying those planes into the world trade center by remote control!

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
