It is surprising that Corbyn generates so much visceral antipathy. He's kept Labor together, no mean feat and he's been more right than most in his rejection of Mid East adventures. Plus his stance on Brexit seems more reasonable than that of the current Government.
Why is he considered as a bogeyman?
Was Labour falling apart under Miliband? I would suggest that Labour has kept itself together despite Corbyn, not because of him.
Rejection of Mid East adventures. By the West, for sure. No problem if it's Russia.
His stance on Brexit has been duplicitous at best. He has tried to have it both ways, and his reluctance to come down off the fence makes him as responsible as anyone for the mess we are in now.

All of that said, I would still vote for him over the current Tory cabal. Strange times.
