2:07Now PlayingIt's Halloween!
When everything is scary.
Can you name a scary moment in politics?
How about this one:
LITTLE GIRL plucking daisy petals: One, two, three, four, five, seven, six, six, eight, nine
"MISSION CONTROL": Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero
SOUND EFFECTS: Huge atomic bomb blast.
Pretty scary, right?
That was from the 1964 presidential campaign … Lyndon Johnson's "Daisy" ad he used against Barry Goldwater. It showed a little girl plucking a daisy … Then: images of nuclear destruction. ... Then, LBJ says: "We must either love each other. Or we must die."
The ad ran just one time … But that was enough to make it famous … And it was enough to make the list of 11 scary moments in politics… As you'll hear in this week's episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" …Timed for Halloween and with a very special guest: Managing Editor of National Journal Daily - Ledge King.
Which ten other political moments make the scary list?
And what does Ledge King say about each of them?
Find out in "The Weekly."
Because it's our annual Halloween episode … And this year, it's simply spooktacular
