American Presidential politics is not for the faint of heart, starting with the Jefferson vs. Adams contest, 1800. Jefferson hired someone to write his insults at first, among them that Adams was a "hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman."Adams' party shot back: "Are you prepared to see your dwellings in flames... female chastity violated... children writhing on the pike? GREAT GOD OF COMPASSION AND JUSTICE, SHIELD MY COUNTRY FROM DESTRUCTION."
