The Politics of Fear and Loathing is certainly nothing new. In modern politics, we can trace it back to the 1964 Lyndon Johnson - Barry Goldwater campaign, when Johnson's team aired what became legend as "The Daisy Ad." It painted Republican Barry Goldwater as an extremist who would bring a nuclear attack down upon the nation, killing our children. It was a powerful commercial, but was so controversial and distasteful that it was aired only once before being pulled.
