That atomic bomb/little girl/flowers used against Goldwater in 64.
Talk about overkill and exaggeration and fearmongering
BARACK OBAMA KILLED MY DOG!
I once read someone’s remark “They told me in 1964 that if I voted for Goldwater we’d end up in a land war in Asia. I voted for Goldwater, and, sure enough, we ended up in a land war in Asia”.
We'll I suppose he was hungry?
I would recommend Dewhurst’s Texas senate ad:
Cruz killed my son ad:

The mother who lived two doors up the street from us voted for LBJ in 1964. She voted for LBJ because he was the peace candidate and Goldwater was the war candidate. In 1968 her son was KIA in Vietnam.
Answer: Yes.
Comment: The fact that the current clown in the White House was elected is the most disgusting event in American history. His election is a symptom of America's decline into a formless Banana Republic."
My folks voted for Goldwater and sure enough there was a war.
Sometimes things just don’t work-out the way you plan.
Goldwater by his own admission had geared his entire election strategy against Kennedy. Furthermore, Goldwater was leading Kennedy causing the latter to go to Texas. After Kennedy’s death Goldwater admitted he had lost the election. I doubt the ad itself had any material effect compared to sympathy generated by Kennedy’s killing.
Indeed.
The Messiahs team stole a page from Dewhurst playbook.
I would not be surprised if after he finishes his term as Lt Governor he steps down and changes to a demonRAT.
I agree. A vote for LBJ was really a vote for JFK. But Rush is correct about the dishonesty and chutzpah of the Daisy ad; particularly when chants of "LBJ, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today" was just around the corner.
I remember that election quite well.
The only people who are going to vote for obama based on ads like this are freeloaders and stupid but they were going to vote for obama anyway so there is no net gain of obama votes

I saw that ad and I voted for Au-H20 anyway.
This ad, and their doubling down on it!, is simply mind blowing. Even CNN is repulsed. This administration is/was chock full of some really sick puppies.
Cutler, Gibbs, Carney, Burton, Axelrod, Emanuel ... are all blatant obvious liars, without a conscience.
