Lyndon Johnson - Daisy ad - the stakes are too large

Friends,

In 1964 Lyndon Johnson ran an ad known as the Daisy ad- promoting fear as a tactic. The ad ran only once- and it was yanked as violating censorship rules, and being too radical for the mainstream. It was an ad that said "Be afraid, my opponent will make your life more dangerous."

Unfortunately, it has been echoed this year by the National Republicans (starts off silently- but builds insidiously).

selling fear- an abominable, decried, abandoned tactic then,
frightening that it comes back now. 

Leib

Looking forward,

Leib
