We must love each other or we must die

I'm pretty sure I saw this before, but in 1964 Lyndon Johnson ran an ad dubbed 'daisy'. Where a small girl flips the petals off a daisy counting them all cute like. Then there is a countdown and images of nuclear bombs. The voiceover says: "These are the stakes. To make a world in which all of god's children can llive or to go into the garden, we must love each other or we must die. Vote for President Johnson on November 3rd, the stakes are too high for you to stay home."

Wow. Incredible. I have a local mirror of the John Daisy ad, but PBS has a bunch of historical television ads for presidential cantidates. I got this from the 1964 page.

from thinkness.
