1. According to lore, it was aired but once. . .

unlike the repeated slander and vitriol spewing from Republicans nowadays.

2. They always use this video when the republicans do something

stupid and hateful, but this ad ran only one time before it was pulled. Few people have ever seen it until it began to run on news shows and videos. Many of the republican ads it was compared to have run amny times and are still running.

4. they only paid to have it aired once

it got plenty of coverage after that.



I show it in my Government classes. Gets a good affect still today
I have a commentary about it from the guy that created it!


I do a whole series of bias and how to tell tricks from treats...

pretty good

I even have Wellstones first commercials "looking for rudy"

5. this is the kind of bluntness dems need now--hell, they could have just

used this commercial in 2004.

6. 'this video is no longer avalable'

Wish I could have seen it.

7. It actually reminds me of something the GOP would use ...

"VOTE FOR US OR DIE" --- sounds alot like Cheney, eh?
