"The homes of America are horrified and the intelligence of Americans is insulted by weird television advertising by which this administration threatens the end of the world unless all-wise Lyndon is given the nation for his very own."
— Senator Barry M. Goldwater referring to the Daisy spot
Indianapolis, Indiana speech, 9/29/64
The ad starts out as a little girl with a daisy flower picking the pedals off of it, and as shes counting a countdown to a nuclear explosion takes over. Then the ad says to vote for Lyndon Johnson. I have never seen a more ridiculous ad in my life. The fact that he let Americans see it, is appalling. Not to mention if a little boy or girl saw it and said Daddy or Mommy what is that? Could you imagine?
The ad is so famous because he uses fear to get into Americans heads, basically saying we all have to be friends and you have to vote for me or else Boom!! Nuclear war, this is probably the most sad ad ever by a candidate.
