It is amusing that the Democrats that have been howling for Comey's blood are now howling that he's been fired.   The hysteria and hyperbole in today's politics are at 11, it's ***** unwatchable.

Nope, that is not a fair assessment of what the Democrats are doing and you're oversimplifying that.
Main reason: The chronology of events.
You can't (at least I think so) possibly think the whole Russia story is just "fake news", merely an insubstantial media invention. Never mind possible exaggeration, it has some true serious roots, Michael Flynn alone (and it's not him alone) justifies the attention. The warnings of many current or former members of CIA, FBI, NSA justify it. The Russia connections deserve being looked into, this is not a partisan stance. You have to be deeply partisan to see that differently.
So after Comey confirmed there was an investigation going on, the whole picture changed dramatically. 

Especially after that, Democrats sure did not ask Trump to fire the guy investigating him. You can see that as partisan change of heart, but it's also just a logical one. Whatever they asked before (which was resignation, which is something different than being fired by the president, but whatever) can't seriously be held against them now. It's gotten a completely different flavor under completely different circumstances. To not acknowledge that is just intellectual dishonesty.
