I know that every election cycle, some people assert that this presidential race is more hateful and more divisive than any in the past. And other posters give samples from past races which show that the hatred and name calling was not worse than the current one.
So, I want to ask. Is this time worse than any other time? Has a scheduled speaker at a convention ever accused an opponent of being linked to Satan?
The rhetoric is actually pretty typical especially among the Republicans. It's not very different from what you hear on right wing radio day in and day out. If you go back in history you will find some pretty awful divisive rhetoric of the founding fathers.
