Okay, a serious question re: people insulting admin staffers [View all]

[grumpyduck]

I don't want to derail the other threads on this topic, so here's a serious question for those of you who have followed politics or the news for a number of years.

Are there any documented cases of previous presidents resorting to the same type and volume of verbal or written attacks or insults on people they didn't agree with, as with the current president? We know LBJ, Nixon, and others occasionally blasted someone, but it was mostly in WH meetings or private settings. They all probably did that. But I'm asking specifically about things they said or wrote in public, to a similar degree.

No opinions here, please. There are lots of other threads for that. As Sgt. Friday used to say, "Just the facts, ma'am."
