Well that is the slippery slope we are headed down. When did it all start?
My guess is that it goes back to at least the establishment of a free

Yes, and apparently negative campaigning follows cycles and it is more
prevalent this year than it has been in a while. The Democrats are going
negative because the Republicans have been in power and are an easy
target. The Republicans are going negative (according to experts) because
they need to convince people who might vote for a Democrat to stay home
instead. Altogether, the Republican ads are more negative and more
personal, and even more misleading or inaccurate, than are the Democrat
ads. See this newspaper article:
