That means I have "extreme contempt or disgust for something or somebody"?
Let's take three examples - Rumsfeld, McNamara, and Nixon. I am so obviously and strongly critical of all. However there are still things I have great respect for in each. The first two are great intellectual accomplishments. The first is just so pigheaded as to not be able to admit his mistakes. The second did admit his mistakes and moved on. (I also read his book in 1961(?) and easily got an A because he wrote with such clarity.) The third, well, there is a man with so few morals who could still become president and who could still see when another was wronged. Nixon clearly is on my short list for worst president of the US. And yet I don't see any extreme contempt or extreme disgust of the man. How could I see good (or intent to be good) in all three if I judged them using disdain?
