Daisy ad 50 yrs ago - 1964 political ad

[TxD]

Anyone remember this ad by LBJ's campaign?

"Time magazine described the “Daisy” ad, which aired only once 50 years ago today, as “the most infamous, and most effective” political ad ever. A little girl appears on the screen, stoops, and picks a daisy."

Yeah, and I also remember a bumper sticker that went something like: "They said if I voted for Goldwater we'd have 100,000 troops in Vietnam. I did and they were right."

That ad helped us get one of the top 5 most worthless presidents this country has had in its history.

And one of the most corrupt.

"Daisy ad 50 years ago"... I was expecting an ad for a BB gun... :-(

"They" don't elect themselves....that's the real scary part.

I thought BB gun too, and wondered why a BB gun ad would be political. Then I though, BB guns were mainstream then and not now, so a BB gun ad might be considered political.

Don't remember the ad, didn't click the link. Would have if it had been for a BB gun, my first rifle was a Daisy.
