It’s like nothing has really changed since the day that book was published; just that things have gotten progressively worse along the same lines as noted in there. And who listened? When Goldwater ran for President, the left Alinskyed him with the daisy-picking ad. The book is actually more relevant today than back then.
As the Rats like to point out the ad you referenced ONLY RAN ONE TIME. But it was played on NBC, ABC, and CBS every night for weeks. Yes, this is how long this crap has been going on.
