2. "Relentlessly vicious" -- I believe you are right

Today I've been thinking about that long-ago correspondence. And I'm thinking that, had DU been around at the time, there would have been those determined, under many guises, to be relentlessly vicious toward Jimmy Carter.

They think Jimmy Carter walks on water now, but he was much reviled on all sides at the time -- and, for those who think primarying a sitting president is a smart idea -- he was primaried when he ran for a second term.

There's a lot of lazy, dishonest thinking here, I am sorry to say.
