in all the years of so-called "Bush derangement syndrome"....
how many murderers are known to have demonstrated anti-Bush sentiments?

I mean this question sincerely, the answer might be that there were some. I can't think of a single one, but I may have missed something or I'm forgetting something.

What I do know is that in the first 100 days of the Obama presidency, we have at least two men who have killed multiple police officers, who it turns out harbored paranoid fantasies and hatreds against the President.

Also, in all the years of "Bush hatred" that conservatives analyzed endlessly, the most prominent anti-Bush voice in the media was Keith Olbermann, who started his Special Comments well into Bush's second term, after Bush had started a highly controversial war and done innumerable other highly controversial acts. In other words, the leading example of "Bush hatred" was at least based on things that Bush did.

In contrast, now, bascially before Obama has done anything, we have people on major news networks beating a daily drumbeat of just totally baseless invective against him. It can't be based on anything Obama has done, because he has barely started, instead it's based on fears about him.

So are Fox News and the radio stations considering the possibility of cooling it anytime soon?

Hell no! It's kept them rolling in advertising dollars (listener share) because of the "faithful followers" of Bro. John Birch.
