Negative campaigning:
On NPR this morning, an expert in historical Presidential campaign
songs quoted [1]this gem, from William H. Harrison's campaign against
Martin Van Buren:
Who rules us with an iron rod?
Who moves at Satan's beck and nod?
Who heeds not man,
Who heeds not God?
Van Buren, Van Buren!
Actually, there was more good stuff, but I couldn't find it online
anywhere -- if anyone has more stanzas from this song, or the name of
the expert NPR was quoting, let me know.
