Much of his writing in ''Rolling Stone'' magazine dealt with contemporary politics; Thompson had an active intolerance for almost all politicians across the spectrum, with the exception of [[Democrat]] [[George McGovern]]. His open hatred for [[Richard Nixon]] was especially pronounced despite the fact that he interviewed [[Richard Nixon]] and discussed football with him at length.  He compiled his dispatches for ''Rolling Stone'' magazine during the 1972 campaign into the book, ''Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72''. He became close friends with Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner.
