Nixon 1960 Campaign Ad

[calimar28]

Yeah this ran opposite the "Kenn-e-dy Kenn-e-dy Kenn-e-dy Kenn-e-dy" commercial.

No wonder Kennedy won.

[fattoler]

@calimar28 Even though I don't approve of Nixon its kind of sad to think that people can be so easily led in their voting habits by a flashy campaign which does not really give them information on the candidate: "Old enough to know, and young enough to do" do what exactly?

[IEatManure]

Don Draper was right.....crap advert

[gopconservative78]

Its all about the commie Jews.......

[Lakaior]

sad he was so paranoid, if he wasn't he would be considered one of the best presidents.

[DURound]

He was a profoundly deep thinker/intellectual and he was a formidable statesman. But he was also a bit paranoid of his political enemies and too loyal to his subordinates for his own good. Watergate, which he had no real guilt over -- but which he probably tried to cover up -- weakened the Presidency, probably in a bad way.

[schweigerlover01]

He was the best President ever. He was a better President than Clinton.

I like when Don in Mad Men responded in 10 seconds, "shut it off" after watching the Kennedy song.

[lovingboth]

This was sampled heavily at the start of the FGtH video for 'Two Tribes':

"Above everything else, the American people want leaders who will keep the peace, keep the peace, keep keep keep keep keep the peace.. Henry Cabot Lodge and I.. keep the peace.. 'no' (know) Mr Kruschev, no no Mr Kruschev, nononononono Mr Kruschev.. Lodge and I.. no.. firm diplomacy.. no Mr Kruschev, nononononono Mr Kruschev.. no no no.. peace for America and the world.. (kissing noises)" - "no apologies, no regrets" later

tricky dick

[NYerintransit]

This country made the wrong choice in 1960, plain and simple.

[mcscanlon]

Don Draper was right. This commercial is terrible.

[stevenstreets3]

I want a communist chinese made Nixon bobblehead

[servantofLoviatar]

haha!

[JoHnWaYnEv2nd]

dis vid looks like an acid trip, and a really bad one with nixon in it too...

[Nacho2333]

Kennedy is better then Nixon! Nixon would never have won if Bobby wasnt shot in 68'

[JoHnWaYnEv2nd]

nixon had kennedy wacked.

[shobielim]

Richard Milhous Nixon/Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. campaign ad. They understand what peace demands.

[MissingnoShow]

He should've just rode his Dialga, it would've won the whole nation.

[coorsbabesrule]

he got robbed in that election.

[planetmiketv]

he actually probably did. there is proof that kennedy and johnson may have committed voting fraud in texas and georgia, among others.

[coorsbabesrule]

i've heard that they was voter fraud in illinois, texas, and maybe missouri, i've never heard of it in georgia.

[moffbombadil]

Boy, he certainly got much better at political commercials over time - the 1972 Nixon Now ad blows this one out of the water.

[TheQuiet1]

NO PEACE FOR AMERICA AND THE WORLD. xxx

How times have changed(!)

[JoHnWaYnEv2nd]

nixon was pig shit. i went as nixon to a halloween party 10 years ago.

[drunk3director]

A great historical clip like this is on youtube with not even 300 views.

[shinjitodd]

@drunk3director

Now it has 14,502 views

one from mexico (Me)

maybe no one saw it at first cuz they were too damn busy watching some chick singing stupid songs or justin bieber dancing like a chimpanzee.

[RonocDondra352]

@drunk3director 15K now...apparently people liked it, for good reason/

[SunsetGroove]

No apologies , no regrets hey dicky? 14 years later, did u feel the same?

[jfkpublicservant]

@SunsetGroove Dicky?

That made my day.

[RonocDondra352]

@SunsetGroove Shut up; look at the two most recent presidents: both disasters. Watergate was one thing you idiot. He was one of the best presidents we've ever had, especially better than that idiot peanut-farmer Jimmy Carter
