Not exactly. There was partisanship aplenty in both cases, but Republican rhetoric didn't even begin to approach the level of hatefulness of today's Dems'. They tried to make it sound like it was the worst name-calling and character assassination in history, but it didn't hold a candle to what we're hearing today. Furthermore, the Hollywood and Washington D.C. cocktail party crowd had the left's best interests at heart then and now, and 5 Fox News Channels couldn't begin to counter the spin that they produce in the news and entertainment world. Furthermore, Milosevic didn't have an al-Jazeera to parrot the talking points of Republicans in order to undermine the effort there.
The right and the left hate each other, but the similarities end there.
