George W. Bush is probably the nicest man you'll ever meet. Called him dumb and Hitler.
Romney, a man who literally adopted black children into this family? Racist tax evader.
McCain, the guy who gets pilloried by his own side for reaching across the aisle. Warmonger.

Nah, save that "both sides" crap for these moron kids who don't know what the past was like.

Each of those men can take it.
Yes, Bush 43 is a fundamentally decent person.  He really thought NCLB would improve education and war would improve Iraq.  But a lot of people think he was wrong about those things.  They call him dumb.  They call his ideas dumb. It's not nice, but do you really want to turn the discussion into a defense of NCLB and the Iraq war? Some call him Hitler because, like Hitler, he started a preemptive war.  But Bush 43 is tough enough, and smart enough, not to complain or fight back.  
If you get in a high position, people will snipe at you.  And, because no one is perfect, some of their gripes will be legitimate.
Most people who get up that high are just grateful for the opportunity and understand the sniping comes with the territory.
You don't need to be thin skinned on their behalf.

You hold your breath first.

Why should the LA Times be held to a higher standard than talk radio?!
Paper is a renewable, theoretically infinite resource.
Radio spectrum isn't.
