With Obama already bearing the brunt of racist reactions, the Tom Bradley campaign in California is significant. Tom Bradley, the popular mayor of Los Angeles was running double digit leads for governor in the polls. Deukmajian ran a political ad that was incredibly simple: they just put the pictures of Deukmajian and Bradley (a black man) next to each other and ask "Who do you really want?" According to a Wikipedia note, "The discrepancy between the polling numbers and the election's ultimate results would come to be termed "the Bradley effect," which refers to the tendency of white voters to tell interviewers or pollsters that they are undecided or likely to vote for a black candidate, but then actually vote for his opponent." Al Campanis was the beloved general manager of the LA Dodgers who was forced to resign after an absurd comment that blacks were not good swimmers because they "weren't as bouyant." Racist stereotypes are still rampant and destructive. The rest of the Duke's hypocrisies are fairly self-explanatory.</p> <p>The Duke is Dead <br />(For John Wayne & George Deukmejian, Retiring Governor of California)</p> <p>The Duke is dead...Long live the Duke! <br />Just see the trail he blazes. <br />His great success is sure no fluke; <br />He's a hero nothing fazes.</p> <p>Old John Wayne would've loved his campaign <br />Against that wimp Tom Bradley: <br />Just picture two faces and make it quite plain <br />That "his kind" does everything badly! <br />(Now, could such an approach really change the vote? <br />Ask old Al Campanis, "Hell, they can't even float!")</p> <p>The Duke is dead...Long live the Duke! <br />Just see the trail he blazes, <br />His great success is sure no fluke; <br />He's a hero nothing fazes.</p> <p>Just shoot from the hip, and don't take no lip <br />From those faggots, femmes, and "bleeders." <br />We'll drill the coast and then raise a toast <br />To more nuclear reactor breeders <br />(Sure, Big Business cronies fill our campaign coffers, <br />But we're equally open to anyone's offers).</p> <p>The Duke is dead...Long live the Duke! <br />Just see the trail he blazes. <br />His great success is sure no fluke; <br />He's a hero nothing fazes.</p> <p>Say, haven't you heard? He's a man of his word. <br />Now, just listen to that speech: <br />With a "Yup!" and a "Nope!" and an "I dunno'!" <br />He avoids the media's reach <br />("We'll refund the money... No, it can't go to schools! <br />Oops! A shortfall? Cut service—see the logic, You fools?")</p> <p>But, he's made up his mind; the Duke has resigned, <br />And he's leaving us to our fate. <br />Now, where can we find someone likewise inclined? <br />How 'bout Reagan? Wouldn't that be great? <br />Maybe Tricky Dick could be our pick? <br />Even Wilson or Gates is a plus; <br />Just as long as he follows in Big Duke's boots, <br />We know he'll Californicate us! <br />(New for 1998) <br />Find a Tricky Dick-type to be our pick? <br />Both Lundgren and Davis are a plus <br />Just as long as they follow in Pistol Pete's boots, <br />We know they'll Californicate us! </p> <p>©1989 Tim McMullen All Rights Reserved</p> </div> <a href="/blog/45174-tim-mcmullen-s-the-duke-is-dead">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/44832-i-hope-you-get-ugly-in-heaven-by-robby-roadsteamer 2009-01-07T20:42:50Z imonthepavement <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4uTm7vDtoVY&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4uTm7vDtoVY&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/44832-i-hope-you-get-ugly-in-heaven-by-robby-roadsteamer"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/51290" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The music video for "I HOPE YOU GET UGLY IN HEAVEN" by Roadsteamer.
