3. “Appealing to fear is a way politicians and advertisers manipulate people. An advertisement that uses an appeal to fear that I found was a 2010 campaign ad in which a a lady by the name of Rebecca Kleefisch attacks her running mates opponent. Rebecca Kleefisch is the running-mate for Scott Walker who is running for governor of Wisconsin. In the campaign ad, Rebecca Kleefisch states that her running-mates opponent Tom Barrett “supports a government takeover of our health care. Rebecca Kleefisch, herself is a colon cancer survivor and disagrees with the views of Tom Barrett. This is not a good argument in my opinion. What Rebecca Kleefisch has said has actually been seen as a lie. Tom Barrett has never supported a government takeover. The fear that is seen here is, “If you vote for Tom Barrett, then you will be asking for a government ran healthcare system.”
