Huckabee Bashes Iran Deal With LBJ Ad Reboot
By David Jackson , July 14, 2015 USA Today
Mike Huckabee is reaching back into campaign advertising history to bash President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran.
Huckabee’s campaign posted an updated version of the famous (or infamous) “Daisy Ad,” the 1964 television spot that President Lyndon Johnson’s campaign used to attack Republican challenger Barry Goldwater as a (nuclear) war monger.
Both the LBJ and the Huckabee ads show a little girl counting up the number of petals she plucks from a daisy.
When she reaches ten, an ominous voice begins to reverse the count back to zero — and a nuclear explosion fills the black-and-white screen.
