Blast From The Past (literally!)



CNN.com - '64 'Daisy' ad revived to warn against Iraq war - Jan. 16, 2003

Internet Group Revives Cold War Ad to Sway Public Against Iraq Attack



"The original was produced by LBJ's campaign to paint Barry Goldwater as an extremist who might lead the US to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union."



Ah, the Ur-negative ad. LBJ did it first and did it worst. Many have tried, but no one has ever topped "my opponent wants to blow up the world."



I remember the first time I saw this. It was in history class. They showed it once as a paid ad, a hundred times on the news, and a hundred thousand times in history class.



Someone at the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists must be getting ready to reset the clock...
