LBJ Daisy ad

This controversial ad won the presidential campaign for Lyndon Baines Johnson in the late 1960's. It's quite moving.

Goldwater is the hero of true conservatives, not that piece of shit Reagan.

Johnson was a war hawk from day one, he is lying.
He sent a massive troop surge to Vietnam and made a lot of money.

It still remains that Barry Goldwater made some very unfortunate remarks while campaigning, and he opened himself up to this kind of ad. Ultimately, Goldwater paved the road for the god Ronald Reagan (whom he even disagreed because Reagan was farther right on civil liberties), but in 1964, the country was more into equality for every American, except the rednecks in the deep South. Goldwater managed to anger and scare even traditionally Republican states to go for LBJ.

@BuddyNovinski Yes... in 1964 the country was more into equality for every American, except the rednecks. That's why there were urban race riots that Summer and every Summer through 1977... because minorities couldn't handle all that equality.

Southern redneck congressmen, presidents, and preachers weren't getting assassinated. It was JFK, RFK, MLK... catholics and minorities, and most of all democrats.

Correct. I don't get why this ad was so controversial when Goldwater proposed "lobbing a few bombs into the Kremlin".

It did not win the election - it was pulled.

It only aired once, but multiple news sources aired it as part of their news shows due to its controversial nature, so it remained influential anyway.
