akaihyo. . . so I though I would share it.
This is LBJ's 1964 ad that attacked Goldwater, not by name but by implication and feed into the whole LBJ campaign about how Goldwater was an "extremist" who would get us into war. This is considered the classic attack ad, it is mentioned is alomost every American history book I have read on the 60s but I had never actually seen it until today. And for those keeping score, it was LBJ who got us fully sucked into Vietnam and Goldwater who was all for limited govenment.
