Poliotics has always been hideous, a bloodsport..just that before the internet and 24/7 cablenews, nobody every saw/heard much of it..Here's one example, one of my favorite example of over-the-top thetoric.....in 1940, when FDR proposed the Lend/Lease Bill, Idaho GOP Sen William Borah, in his speech opposing it, on the Senate floor, said that "if passed, this bill will drag us into the European conflict and plow under every fourth American boy.."

I don't think even Kucinich has gone that far...

Hillarious - agreed, that's the worst I've heard too.

in 1940, when FDR proposed the Lend/Lease Bill, Idaho GOP Sen William Borah, in his speech opposing it, on the Senate floor, said that "if passed, this bill will drag us into the European conflict and plow under every fourth American boy.."

Not to nitpick, but defeating Germany would have plowed under every fourth American boy, except the Russians took that job off our hands.

Of course, when Borah made that statement, Hitler and Stalin were allies.
