AN UNPRECEDENTED BROADSIDE ISSUED BY THE 1964 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE, DENOUNCING THREE PUBLICATIONS DISTRIBUTED FREELY BY SUPPORTERS OF FAR-RIGHT EXTREMIST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BARRY GOLDWATER. THIS BROADSIDE IS TANTAMOUNT TO A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BOOKS DEEMED MOST DANGEROUS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ITSELF.Not in OCLC. Indeed, we have been unable to find a single reference to this remarkable broadside. It was issued under the auspices of the DNC to warn its constituents to the outrageously false polemics of the following three self-published Conservative propaganda, all distributed free of charge by workers of Goldwater's campaign: 1. "A Texan Looks at Lyndon" by racist segregationist J. Evett Haley ("a study in unhospitalized paranoia"); 2. "A Choice Not an Echo" by infamous ERA opponent and covert John Bircher Phillis Schafley;3. "None Dare Call it Treason" by anti-Communist far-right lunatic extremist John Stormer. To the above are added two "Hate-Filled Tabloids [likewise] being distributed by Goldwater workers": Liberty Lobby Presents (anti-Semitic and racist, "on the extreme fringe of the radical right") and Human Events (opposing Social Security; available by subscription through the John Birch Society). Indeed, numerous scholars link the rise of extreme-right GOP presidential candidates to THIS 1964 election. Even though Goldwater was utterly defeated by moderate Democrat Lyndon Johnson, his controversial politics sparked the Republican Party's ultra-conservative faction, which has only continued to increase. Tragically, Goldwater's 1964 campaign merely foreshadowed Donald Trump's monstrous 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential election campaigns. "Goldwater was, without doubt, a divisive figure: Democratic detractors like Martin Luther King. Jr. and then-California Governor Pat Brown had compared his blunt, pull-no-punches rhetoric to Hitler. Within his own party, moderates responded with varying degrees of dismay or horror to his policies. [...] But while his own bid for the White House flamed out, the embers of Goldwater’s political philosophy -- championing small government and individual freedoms -- would ignite the party's conservative wing for decades to come."
