Picture above is the "Daisy Ad" Johnson used against the Republicans The "Daisy Ad" was aired only once and is one of the most controversial in U.S. history. The Supreme Court is considering a case that delcares free speech.

The 1964 TV ad on behalf of President Johnson against Republican opponent Barry Goldwater showed a girl in a meadow counting from one to 10 while picking petals from a daisy. As she nears the number 10, a man's voice is heard counting down to the detonation of a nuclear bomb. The implication of the ad, which aired just once but has become part of popular culture and can still be viewed on the Web is that Goldwater's election could lead to nuclear destruction.
