1964 presidential campaign

A disgusting ad, truly representative of the Democrat Party

We’ve been through some pretty raunchy political campaigns, haven’t we? But compared to the schiff the Johnson campaign threw at Barry Goldwater in 1964, Trump and Clinton were exchanging love-notes.

The Dirtiest Political Ad Ever

(Note: I’m way late for everything today because of the #$%$^ computer update.)

Yowsah, yowsah! Goldwater’s gonna blow up the world, we’re all gonna die! Even the cute little girl in the ad–Goldwater’s gonna get her killed. And everybody else, too!

And y’know what? A lot of people believed it. They wound up very, very, very disappointed in Johnson for his bobbling of the Viet Nam War. Barry Goldwater would’ve had to work very hard to do as bad a job.

It’s true that the 2016 presidential campaign is shaping up to be one of the dirtiest ever, what with all the filth being thrown at Donald Trump, for one. And wait’ll he starts throwing it back. But many of you are too young to have experienced the 1964 campaign pitting President Lyndon Johnson against Senator Barry Goldwater; and so you missed this, which may well be the dirtiest, most low-down political ad ever shown on TV.

Here we have the Johnson campaign blatantly suggesting that if Goldwater is elected, he will start a nuclear war which will kill the poor little girl and everybody else, ka-boom, game over. So vote for LBJ if you want to live!

And of course they wound up so disgusted with LBJ and his handling of the Vietnam War that he had to step down rather than get knocked down at the 1968 Democrat convention.
