I attribute that to it being made while Ramirez was in the early stages of whatever disease he has that makes him cross-hatch the gently caress out of everything, and draw people like worms.

Captain_Maclaine posted:Do you need me to trundle out that revolting Ramirez cartoon with Iran as a sewer grate with cockroaches scurrying out of it? What I mean is, never mind that every jihadist group I have ever heard of is made up of Sunnis and that Iran is a majority Shia state. I don't think that I have ever seen any Iranian rhetoric that was based on religion, rather than being about western countries meddling in the affairs of the middle east. I'm not going to pretend to be particularly well informed, but even in my dim ignorance the 'Iranian jihadists' thing seems stupid to me. Am I off base here? Also, I see it is too late for me to ask you not to post it.

From a few pages back with Reid's comments caught by a tracker, one job I would never do no matter the pay is track Reid at a donor's event in Nevada. It would not surprise me if in a few decades somebody is found in a hole in the desert, and they happened to once be paid by the Republican party of Nevada.

The original Daisy ad at least had Johnson say, "We must love each other". Also, part of the reason that it was so effective is that it was the first 60 second political ad. Before it, campaigns would reserve 15-30 minutes to have the candidate deliver a manifesto or to play a film about their character.

Hell nothing Ive read about it in my free time mentioned that either. If (perhaps) not the first, it was one of the first and started the trend. Bill Moyers hired the agency DDB to make short attack ads for the Johnson campaign and Daisy was one of the series they made for the '64 campaign. Johnson didn't want to run them because he thought they were too uncivil, but Moyers pushed the DNC to but the time anyway and put the ads on air.

Then when "remote control" did finally come out one of the original versions was actually a box with one button that incremented the channel, looping at the last one, and was connected to the TV by a 20 foot long thick curly cord.
