Has there ever been a president whose parents were so viciously attacked as Obama's?


 
I get Bush because his father was president, but I don't even remember, during the 2000 and 2004 campaigns, many people going after him. He was old news. Yeah, Hillary had that line that it would take a Clinton to clean up a Bush's mess ... but that's insignificant compared to the attacks we've seen from the right on Ann and Barack Senior. They've been vile and hateful and awful. I don't think anyone would ever dare attack Romney's parents in that way ... and I certainly don't remember Clinton's mom coming under attack like this.

It's just so dirty and amazingly horrible. There are some attacks that go beyond the pale and I think this is one. I've never heard a First Mom (even if she's not around to defend herself) called a whore before or a prostitute or a porn star.

The level these people would stoop to makes me ashamed to be American.

Seriously.

The OP by Paddy O'DUfus was hardly worth bringing over, but a reply from Journeyman laying out the evil life of Joe Kennedy for all the DUmmies to choke on is awesome.  Well done, Journeyman.  My hat's off to you.

5. John F. Kennedy's father, Joseph P. Kennedy, was attacked for. . .

being a bootlegger; for having strong connections with the Mafia; for supporting Joseph McCarthy; for being antisemitic; for being a Papist; for consorting with socialists; for being friendly to the Nazis; for lobotomizing his daughter, and then denying her mental issues; for having numerous affairs; for being an unscrupulous businessman; for allowing his ambitions to override his familial obligations; for not supporting the United States while he was its ambassador to the United Kingdom; for believing the Battle of Britain had nothing to do with the defense of democracy; for engaging in questionable investment practices; for making a fortune buying up distressed mortgages; for engaging in insider trading and market manipulation (tactics which were legal at the time but later declared abusive); for being a crook, a whoremonger, and a defeatist.

There was much evidence to support many of the attacks against him.

And he was attacked equally -- or so it seems today -- from both the Left and the Right.

And you won't at the DUmp.  He worshiped there almost as much as Lenin.

You're kidding me, right ?

There have been at least a thousand threads at DU over the years going after Prescott Bush, GHW Bush's father.

When asked by the press why President Franklin D Roosevelt appointed Joseph P Kennedy as the first Secretary of the Securities Exchange Commission, President Roosevelt responded " It takes a crook to catch a crook." Joe Sr made Ken Lay and Bernie Madoff as rank amateurs, wait, they were. Joe Sr never got caught.

Yes.  George W. Bush's parents.

Really?  How about the attacks on Prescott Bush and the true stories told about Joe Kennedy?  History did not start yesterday, DUmmies.

Maybe it's because most president's parents haven't been so weird.

DUmmies have no memory beyond what's in front of their face.

The DUmmies tried to destroy not only President Bush's parents, but also his wife and his CHILDREN...but they go into a outrage hissy fit if anyone brought up the mere name of a (D) family member.

Yeah that.  As far as being 'Unprecedented,' the MSM mention of a woman who was to all appearances a well-heeled and highly-traveled slut of note is so minimal that I doubt if one in twenty people could tell you if she was even alive or dead.

The only thing that I recall seeing about his parents that could be considered as an attack was by a guy that is supposed to be a preacher. He apparently did this in defense of attacks on Sarah Palin's daughter. Maybe he is racist?

OMG  what an interesting rant, he really has reached into the subconscious of the black and white folks that refuse to believe they are raciest.
