As much as I love this video, it is somewhat misleading. It makes it sound like Thomas Jefferson actually said that about Jon Adams (and visa versa), but that's not the case. If you check the sourcing for this video, it's actually other people saying that about him, and not saying that either of them approved it.
1. Those sources didn't fund the candidate, nor had any inclination that they supported it. It'd be more like some Tea Party member shouting things and claiming Ron Paul said it.
2. SuperPacs aren't endorsed by the candidates, they have to remain separate.

@Shonenut213 Sadly religion does matter in the United States. If you say you're an agnostic or an Atheist or don't attend church service on Sunday you have as much of a chance at getting elected as the Detroit Lions have at winning the Superbowl. In this day and age you'd think we'd be past that kind of puritanical thinking, but we're not.
@COLUMBINE1818 Everything you said is true. But what I meant was that a president's religion shouldn't be a real issue as long as he can do his job without his religion influencing his policies.
You won't see Ron Paul getting personal in his attacks. He may attack their methods or ideology, but he won't make personal attacks or threats unlike his fellow Texan candidate....
You'll have to refresh my memory on that one. The one I'm thinking of calls Rick Perry a "cheerleader" for Al Gore, helping him with his 2000 election bid. Something a conservative republican would never do.
If so, that would be pretty mild stuff in today's politics. I stand by my comment unless shown otherwise.
The "Hatchet faced nutmeg dealer" quote works on soo many levels. Calling someone a nutmeg dealer was an insult because nutmeg dealers were notorious for selling fake nutmeg made out of carved wood.
So in essence this call to civility based on the notion that we have a "legacy" of past civility and we should go back to the "good old days" is the same as being sold carved wood. It is a fabricated truth. We have always been a nation of open and vigourous debate.
This reminds me of some of the attack ads on the radio in Grand Theft Auto IV- "John Hunter has lost an erection more than once, and has disappointed his wife much in the same way he'll disappoint you....Call John Hunter, tell him that comb-over's not fooling anyone.....short-ass bald bastard"
John Adams went borderline crazy with his attacks, like when he said that Hamilton was an opium addict. XD I'm sorry, even if you disagree with his policies, Hammy was NOT a druggy.
@MultiSolucion What the white man did to the Africans and Native Americans pale in comparison to the butchery of the English language by you. I mean for goodness sake man, we have spell check! Use it!!!
the white people killing the indians , spreading diseas / posion the water pools from the indians / had additional wapens to kill the indians... ,, it not the excuse indians dying from diseas of the western europa ,,,, no no it lies deliberating and planning murderds the indians ,, stealin their product and land ,, still today are the white nation the immigrant of indians nation ,, karmaaaaaaa,,,, time coming
Trying viewing people as individuals for once in your life. Not every white person in history murdered Native Americans and not every Native American that ever lived was completely innocent. What happened to many Native Americans was terrible but is not an excuse to hate every white American for it. When I was in grade school, I got bullied for being half-Asian by whites and blacks but I don't hate every full-blooded white person or every black person for it.
@Infantry9 Sorry you got bullied. Sounds like an attractive combination. I'm black and I take heat from a lot of urban blacks since I am 'Caribbean-American, but you have to stay strong. Be the individual you want to be seen as. Most people aren't that blind and the ones that lump everyone together are just ignorant.
LOL I love it. Politics are nasty. That is just the way of it. And I love it. Absolutely love it. Oh and the Obama political correctness? One more thing I do not agree with him on. Oh lordy, he is the worst President I ever witnessed. But Carter was bad too even tho I was 6 when he left office.
This video just highlights how illiterate Obama is when it comes to history. This explains why he acts as if this is the first time in all of human history that a leader has faced what he faces. It is amazing how a few good speeches, with lots of "feel good" words, can enthrall a segment of our population to actually think that he is suffering like no one in all of history has suffered. After all he has a degree from Harvard, which makes him a super genius! History does not apply to Obama!
God, you pander to moron conservatives. Newspapapers were expensive, literarcy was lower in 1800, and negative messages were fewer in number, just how things were different in 1800 compared to how filthy maggot conservatives act now
People don't know their history. The 2008 election was one of the tamest times for political mudslinging compared to past elections. It really was not that bad.
Like 1800, another election that had heated attacks was the 1828 election between the Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams.
Adams called Jackson a murderer for his past transgressions in the army fighting indians. Then Jackson called Adams a "pimp"(yes he used that term) for being with numerous women.
@LaLaGrunge It was tame compared to many other elections, but it most definitely wasn't "one of the tamest." I realize that's subjective, but there it is.
@TheCommonManUSA This is because we currently attach healthcare to your job, it should a personal thing and then this wouldn't ever be an issue. It also isn't cross state so if you move you could loose your coverage. The system is retarded but easy to fix if everyone in power would only stop trying to "help" so much and making things worse because they don't understand the law of unintended consequences. Government doing more will only make things more complex and worse.
That last Stephen Douglas quote just made me laugh out loud.
The difference between then and now is simple: Vocabulary. Thanks to the dumbing down of America people can no longer speak coherent English. (Thanks NEA)
Later in life, Adams and Jefferson become best of friends........and died on the same day - July 4th, 1826 - the fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
Yes, of course. George Washington referred to it in his Farewell Address, after all. Yes, U.S. boys and girls, like it or not, political parties and partisan mudslinging are well a part of our political history.
I miss the good old days of Roman politics, when the candidates simply hired bands of thugs and brawled in the streets. Whichever candidate survived was OBVIOUSLY the better candidate.
When the liberals start whining about mud getting thrown (and both parties do it), what they mean in a veiled fashion is "we need the Fairness Doctrine, we need Internet Neutrality."
the hermaphroditic quote was actually from james callender, ally of jefferson, and, later, his enemy with the publication of the sally hemmings non-scandal. suprisingly callender was found drowned in a puddle.
But the question the video fails to ask was what the outcome in terms of relationship between those two former friends was and the mood of the country. 'Everybody else did it' is a pretty lame ass excuse.
the name that looks like Jefferfon is actually the same as Jefferson. If you look closely at the name, the third to last letter that looks like an "f" is actually an "s". this was how they wrote "s"s back then when the letter "s" didn't start a word.
Seriously this is without a doubt what things should be like today. Screw the issues, politics needs more hermaphroditical characters, and rapist inbreeding adulterers!
What's wrong with politicians calling each others' names, Obama? He rarely corrects himself, even when he makes a huge grammar gaff. Are you allowed to call a president a "dork?"
I had this crazy thought recently that if a politician, no matter how little I agreed with him/her on political stances, were to run a campaign without the use of juvenile attack ads and the belittling of their opponents in a debate, I would vote for that candidate based solely on good merit and intention, which is something politicians clearly lack today. I know it's a farfetched thought, I'm just ready for something fresh from our government.
John Adams never spoke bad of Jefferson publicly, especially in such terms.
The phrases used in this video are phrases used by radical newspapers in New England at the time - not by the candidates. Rest assured neither Jefferson nor Adams would have ever "approved" such messages.
The Wesleyan Media Center has viewed 400,000 political ads aired in 2010 and concluded most Republican attacks ads are issue focused whereas Democratic candidates tend to more often air personal attacks. Google Wesleyan Media Center to read the study.
@but8mokey As Sgt. Joe Friday liked to say, "Just the facts." The Wesleyan Media Center study looks at political advertising in 2010 and this year only. So I can't tell you about the Kerry -Bush race. By the way, Politico reports that Ds outspent Rs by about $180 million this cycle ($850 mil to $670), including indy expenditures, so that may be why Ds could air more personal attack ads.
The core of the American scam is the idea that change occurs in politics. Yet more proof that nothing in that arena ever really changes. It's still rich people ruling poor people with lies. And it will continue to be that way until some disruptive technology changes the nature of the game itself.
@krblizzard Once, that's like saying the US is a political shithole because the south decided to flounce and cause a civil war because they lost an election that would cost them their slaves.
@krblizzard Also that still makes you a birther: you have about as much political credibility as people who quote the protocols of the elders of Zion as a sane rational human being.
Mr. President, Unlike your home country of Kenya, we are a democratic society and choose to do our fighting during a campaign and not in the streets with blood shed. If you long for the days of old in one breath and then turn around and tell us we need "hope and change" in the next, you become highly hypocritical. Maybe you should go back to Harvard and brush up on your AMERICAN history? Can't wait until 2012!
@krblizzard What? Where is the blood in the streets? A comment made in regards to attack ads does not call for violence but civility amongst politicans.
I find this video and the comments all hilarious and enlightening. That old Bible verse is right: "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." (Ecc 1:9)
Karl Rove has nothing on these guys!!

In the 1800s, printers printed the "s" as an fancier "f", and that sorta carried over in this video. Kudos to the creators.

You misspelled 'Jefferson.'

@ivankurz No that's how they spelled 'Jefferson' in 1800... the s was rendered 'f' hence 'Congreff' but it was pronounced the same...

What's wrong with politicians calling each others' names, Obama? He rarely corrects himself, even when he makes a huge grammar gaff. Are you allowed to call a president a "dork?"

I actually read the 'murder, rape, incest, adultery' line in Jefferson's Second Revolution, so this is certainly truthful.

I had this crazy thought recently that if a politician, no matter how little I agreed with him/her on political stances, were to run a campaign without the use of juvenile attack ads and the belittling of their opponents in a debate, I would vote for that candidate based solely on good merit and intention, which is something politicians clearly lack today. I know it's a farfetched thought, I'm just ready for something fresh from our government.

The problem with this video is as follows:
John Adams never spoke bad of Jefferson publicly, especially in such terms.
The phrases used in this video are phrases used by radical newspapers in New England at the time - not by the candidates. Rest assured neither Jefferson nor Adams would have ever "approved" such messages.

@bretw
indeed.
Then again, you'd never have to approve them. Its pamphlets and newspapers, after all.
Best campaign is served through people's gossip and a long, and I mean LONGGGG, speech.

The Wesleyan Media Center has viewed 400,000 political ads aired in 2010 and concluded most Republican attacks ads are issue focused whereas Democratic candidates tend to more often air personal attacks. Google Wesleyan Media Center to read the study.

@rream01 Really? Remember that whole... John Kerry is not a war hero thing? Issues focused? Really?
but8mokey 1 year ago
@but8mokey As Sgt. Joe Friday liked to say, "Just the facts." The Wesleyan Media Center study looks at political advertising in 2010 and this year only. So I can't tell you about the Kerry -Bush race. By the way, Politico reports that Ds outspent Rs by about $180 million this cycle ($850 mil to $670), including indy expenditures, so that may be why Ds could air more personal attack ads.

The core of the American scam is the idea that change occurs in politics. Yet more proof that nothing in that arena ever really changes. It's still rich people ruling poor people with lies. And it will continue to be that way until some disruptive technology changes the nature of the game itself.
(AI/robotics is probably going to be the first.)

Mr. President, Unlike your home country of Kenya, we are a democratic society and choose to do our fighting during a campaign and not in the streets with blood shed. If you long for the days of old in one breath and then turn around and tell us we need "hope and change" in the next, you become highly hypocritical. Maybe you should go back to Harvard and brush up on your AMERICAN history? Can't wait until 2012!

@krblizzard What? Where is the blood in the streets? A comment made in regards to attack ads does not call for violence but civility amongst politicans.

The "s" that looks something like an "f" only occurs as the first "s" of "ss", and only in cursive writing.
