The most negative campaign ever? John Berman digs up the history of mud slinging in American elections

As John Berman says on "Early Start" this morning, this is the time in presidential campaigns where candidates like to charge each other with dipping to new epic lows, and the part where the media likes to wonder if it's the most negative campaign ever.

This is also the part where John likes to provide an answer: No.

"Early Start" anchor John Berman on claims that the current presidential election campaign is the most negative ever.

    Thank you for the VIDEO history lesson, since those who know nothing of history usually don't read.

    So sick of "Obama is the worst President in history", "this is the dirtiest campaign in American history", "People are taxed more today than ever before in the country's history" and all kinds of other nonsense written by people who either flunked history or have no interest in learning about it.
