Are you defending the left's attack on Trump's skin color because the right attacked Obama for his?LOLApples/orangesNothing new.
"Written attacks by Jefferson supporters claimed Adams was a “hideous hermaphrodital character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.”
"Jackson’s enemies called his wife a bigamist and his mother a “common prostitute.”

I'm talking about viciously attacking the candidate's family, not just the candidate.
Jackson's wife and mother are not part of his family? I think you're being too particular.
Ok, you think that as you have to search backwards in time almost 200 years to find a comparison.
Meanwhile, you were blaming the left for "setting the stage for the way the next democrat president will be treated" as though the left is to blame for starting the vicious mudslinging or as though the right won't viciously attack the next Democratic president even if the left never said a negative word about Trump.
Each party has the opportunity to set the stage for how their candidate will likely be treated. The louder and more extreme the insults hurled Trump's way, the louder and more extreme will be those hurled at the next democrat. Be honest, how many of those currently screeching about Trump's skin and hair color (as if they are on any way significant) would say they're justified because they saw a Photoshopped picture of Obama and his wife as monkeys?
As far as photoshopped images of Obama and his wife being portrayed as monkeys, those who did that insisted it wasn't about race. I'm talking about people on the right attacking Obama for being black, not for being accused of resembling a monkey.
Obama is half black, his mother was whiter than Trump.
