"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Jim Quinn gives us an interesting history of Andrew Jackson's fight against the political and media establishments of his day. It would appear that fake news media and vitriolic political campaigns, personally attacking the families of candidates are no modern day phenomenon.
