There are many examples of character assasination on both sides. Remember when they tried to "Bork" Clarence Thomas.

A disengenous TV ad to be sure, but not quite on the par with what I was talking about. As for the Clarence Thomas hearings, I *do* remember those, and how Republicans called Anita Hill everything from a pathological liar to a nymphomaniac. So as far as character assassination goes, that was a pretty effective smear job. Anything else?
