In 1966 Brown’s father tried to link Ronald Reagan to slavery in a campaign commercial. The logic was: Lincoln freed the slaves. Lincoln was killed by an actor. Reagan is an actor. Camera pans to the face of a little black child with tears in his eyes. This BS did not work in 1966 and it won’t work in 2011. The democrats made this bed, now they can sleep in it.

For those capable of critical thought, that no longer works and hasn't for many years.

RUN JERRY RUN!

I remember that commercial. It was appalling, and turned off a lot of people. There are some who say that commercial cost him the election.

Of course, LBJ did something similar in 1964 with the classless “Daisy” commercial. But he won. In a landslide.

By the way, what has that very dated commercial to do with Brown making comments such as this below?

“We are at a point of civil discord, and I would not minimize the risk to our country and to our state.

I remember the campaign slogan “If it’s Brown, flush it!”.
