If you're interested in comparing the number of false stories each side makes up about the other, one good place to look is Snopes.com. Check the page for each person and see how many negative hoaxes have been created.
Romney: 8 (I'm not counting the mixed-truth ones, or the one that said Oprah endorsed Romney, since that wasn't really negative toward Romney.) http://www.snopes.com/politics/romney/romney.asp
GWB: 16 (Again, I'm not counting the mixed-truth ones. I'm also not counting a couple false ones that are not critical of Bush -- for example the false claim that Bush paid for the funeral of a young neighbor boy.) http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/bush.asp
Obama: 83 (Again, I'm not counting the many mixed-truth ones, even though most of those are critical of Obama, and are highly dubious. I'm also not counting several false rumors that are not particularly critical of Obama.) http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/obama.asp
As polarizing as GWB was, over 8 years in office, liberals created only one-fifth as many false rumors as Conservatives have created about Obama in just the past 4 years (16 vs. 83). Seems to me the Conservatives are much more creative and prolific in their false attacks!

Ok, you don't recall it. No problem. Again...google is your friend. Look it up, don't take my word.
There was quite a famous example when MoveOn.org sponsored a video contest. One unknown individual submitted an entry that compared Bush to Hitler. MoveOn.org didn't produce the video and the video was not selected as a winner. However, the mere existence of the video caused such outrage that both chambers of Congress voted to condemn MoveOn.org. Even Hillary Clinton voted for the resolution.
This is how much things have changed. Could you imagine today's Congress condemning any of the anti-Obama crap that we witness every day?
