All three individuals (Obama as well as both Clintons) peg the Republicans derange-o-meters (which could well crack if all three were to show up at the same event).

the Clintons and Pres Obama are merely targets for them to focus their derangement on.

Fox News is what has deranged more Republicans than anything else.
The wouldn't be nearly as insane if Fox had kept their nose out of politics.

OP prompted me to look back on how they went after Obama.

They really do win a special award in that category of deranged LOL:




Chart: Almost Every Obama Conspiracy Theory Ever
Fake birth certificates, ghostwriters, teleprompters, a teenage trip to Mars, and more of the most paranoid and bizarro Obama conspiracy theories out there.

Barack Obama's presidency has been an inspiration to many Americans—especially nutjobs. Ever since the first-black-president-to-be appeared on the national political stage, a cottage industry of conservative conspiracy theorists has churned out bizarro, paranoid, and just plain racist effluvia—some of which has trickled into the political mainstream. Below, we've charted some of the Obama-baiters best (i.e., worst) work. (Scroll down for more detailed descriptions of the conspiracy theories in the diagram.)

I get that it isnt' intended, but this "who MAKES them more deranged" statement perpetrates their and the media's belief that they in fact MAKE them deranged.

Neither Hill, BHO or any democrat "makes" these asshats deranged.

They fucking gin themselves up into a frenzy over them

And, it matters not on iota WHO it is - Carter, Bill, Hillary, Al, John, Howard, Nancy, BHO ...

They relentlessly and furiously attack whatever democrat is at the head of the party.

THis might not seem a big deal, but it is in fact a BIG part of their success in framing democrats negatively.
