Goldwater
Sixties conservative icon
Goldwater is a surname, most notably associated with Barry Goldwater, the Arizona senator whose 1964 presidential campaign crystallized modern American conservatism.
His landslide loss to Lyndon Johnson nonetheless shaped Republican ideology for decades.
To Goldwater someone came to mean attacking them as an extremist, as Johnson's campaign did effectively with the "Daisy" ad.
