Relatively fair enough, especially since your question highlights what I should have said instead of what I said.
Consider the original "stem from the disdain for the opponent" amended to read "disdain for the opponent's supporters". It's more accurate to what I meant (although I don't always make the distinction even to myself apparently) and now it answers your question too.
I don't know if D's this time around hold McCain in such low regard as in recent years but I don't believe they hold non-Obama voters in any higher regard than they held non-Kerry or non-Gore voters.
