I think it was a guy named Dick Tuck who was the original political prankster who bedeviled Nixon in his 1960 campaign. It was what prompted Nixon to pursue dirty tricks during his 1972 campaign.

However, thanks to Dick Tuck it kind of backfired on him when Tuck arranged for a number of pregnant women to parade around in front of the 'pubbies convention carrying signs with that particular slogan on them.
