Democrats: Would you take the Tea Party more seriously if they didn't spend 8 years attacking Bush protesters?

And whining about how any form of dissent "undermines the president, our commander-in-chief". Calling all Bush protesters anti-American, even seditious? Committing treason? When you disparage teabaggers today, is it partially to you a sense of payback? After all, the good book says "Do unto others as you would have done unto you". When you attack them today, are you quietly thinking about them "how does it feel?"
