I think he had lots of those. I'm reading Campaign Trail '72 and listening to him talk about Nixon and his cronies is great. He apparantly had it out for Jerry Seinfeld as well, the list of his enemies was probably a mile long.

In Campaign Trail '72, he wrote something about the news stations not knowing about McGovern's people and their manuvering on the floor. One of the news folks wrote him a letter, and this is his response.

"Dear John....
You filthy skunk-sucking bastard! What kind of gal would prompt you to write me a letter like that sac of pus dated Aug. 11? I checked your story--about how NBC had the South Caroline trip all figured out--with Mrs. Lucey (Pat wouldnt talk to me for some reason), and she said both you & Kiker were so smurfed up on drugs that you both kept calling it "the South Dakota challenge" despite her attempts to correct you. She was baffled by your behavior, she said, until Mankiewicz told her about you and LSD-25. Then, about an hour later, Bill Daughtery (sp?) found Kiker on his knees in the darkness outside McGovern's command trailer, apparantly trying to choke himself with his own hands but, when Bill grabbed him, Kiker said he was trying to un-screw his head from what he called his "neck-pipe," so he could "check the wiring" in his own brain."
But I guess you wouldnt remember that episode, eh? smurf no you wouldnt! You dope-addled facist bastard. I'm heading east in a few days, and I think it's about time we got this evil <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> cleared away. Your deal is about to go down John. You can run, but you cant hide. See you soon....

Hunter S. Thompson"


That, in response to a very civil and non-confrontational letter. I love it!
