Turn on Rachel right fugging now for the interview

Bill Bogert - the guy from the ad against Goldwater and for Johnson - an amazing ad

The ad

[malaise]

1. That was amazing

He wouldn't vote for any of them today

[Buzz Clik]

2. My parents were straight ticket GOP voters their entire lives. Except that year. They voted for LBJ.

[malaise]

4. Wow

Do you know if they saw that ad?

He said 20 million folks had watched it since Rachel mentioned it

[Buzz Clik]

6. Probably. They were avid TV watchers.

That same election year, my great aunt and uncle from Louisiana came to visit us. They were classic 60s Southern Democrats in every sense of the word. It was so ironic: my parents had made up their minds to vote for LBJ because Goldwater was unhinged. My great aunt and uncle had already voted absentee -- for Goldwater -- because LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act. The four of them simply stared at each other in an uncomfortable silence for about a minute before moving on to small talk.

3. Bill Bogert is officially awesome.

[malaise]

5. Agreed

I'm so glad she found him

[Agnosticsherbet]

7. I was a kid, and I remember they gave away cans of Goldwater at the county fair.

It was the worst tasting Orange Pop I ever drank.
After that, he would have never got my vote, if I could have voted.

I do remember this commercial.
It had quite an effect on my Grandfather.

8. Bwaahahahahahahhaha

Lovely history

[jazzwinders]

9. Awesome!

Thanks, Rachel!

10. I remember this actor from a MASH episode.

He was the foppish, stuffy embassy assistant who wouldn't help Hawkeye and Winchester when they were trying to get an American-Korean baby out of the country to the US.

[malaise]

13. Damn you're good

He did a fair amount of acting

[Enrique]

11. isn't he Chris Hayes's dad?

[malaise]

12. Heheheheh

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Good lord. I remember that ad!

I wrote a HS newspaper feature story about the Johnson/Goldwater race and that ad was part of the storyline.

[Are_grits_groceries]

15. I vividly remember that ad.

It stopped me in my tracks and it still does.
Trump deserves a reprise.
