I just call them incredibly naive.

Personally, I've never heard an "anti-Bushy" deny Saddam's past atrocities.
It's part of historical record at this point, so it can't really be denied.
But what I find downright hypocritical is an administration that seemingly
wishes to ignore the crimes against humanity we ourselves have perpetrated
historically (annihilation of native Americans, history of slavery, death
penalty, etc.) and broadcast a self-righteousness, all in the name of God,
and expect Americans to not see it as hypocritical.

And to discuss Saddam's "blatant obviousness of his future intentions" is
rather calling the kettle black, no?  Again, maybe Saddam's intentions are
obvious, but the U.S.'s interests in this so called "vital region" are also
pretty transparent.  And to shroud those intentions in merely the fear of
terrorism is a manipulation of the American people almost as criminal as the
manipulation of the people's votes.

Face it:  the American people are not only realizing how much the Bush
administration is scamming them, but they're becoming more vocal about it --
something that the Bush Administration hoped no one would do in the
immediate wake of 9/11.  It's about time ... I just hope it's not too little
too late.
