:02:00
except for a few key differences.
:02:02
Like there was a photo on the banner...
:02:04
instead of him and his wife
in front of the capitol building in Texas,
:02:09
we showed him pointing the finger
at black people.
:02:12
And this seemed to get him
a little bit angry.
:02:15
So the Bush campaign
tried to shut us down
:02:17
by sending us
a cease and desist letter
:02:19
and by complaining
to the Federal Election Commission.
:02:22
But we were able
to just take those threats
:02:24
and send them to the media.
:02:26
And immediately the New York Times
wrote an article,
:02:28
and there were a whole bunch
of other articles.
:02:30
In fact, one reporter
read these articles and,
:02:33
at a press conference,
asked Bush,
:02:35
"So, what about this website-
gwbush.com-what do you think of that?"
:03:03
So it was all over the place.
:03:04
A lot of people read about it,
:03:06
including a guy who had another
domain name called gatt.org.
:03:09
And, of course, GATT is the
Global Agreement on Tariffs and Trade,
:03:13
and it's the predecessor agreement
to the World Trade Organization.
:03:16
And he said,
"If you could do this for Bush,
:03:18
then maybe you can
also do this for the WTO."
:03:23
The WTO is supposed to be
sort of a United Nations of commerce,
:03:27
a conglomeration
of all these countries in the world...
:03:31
that get together every now and then
to discuss trade policies
:03:35
in how exactly goods will be bought
and sold throughout the world.
:03:40
I'm sure, originally,
the stated purpose of the WTO
:03:44
was to help these countries
who are developing
:03:48
so that, you know, the world community
can help raise them out of poverty.
:03:52
In fact, what it's done is
it's allowed large corporations
:03:55
to go in and exploit these people
even further
:03:59
so that Americans
become even wealthier
