Missouri NAACP responds to State Fair incident
connectmidmissouri.com ^ | August 13, 2013

Posted on 08/13/2013 3:27:23 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe

From Mary Ratliff, State President of the NAACP:

"The activities at the Missouri State Fair targeting and inciting violence against our President are serious and warrant a full review by both the Secret Service and the Justice Department. Incidents involving individuals acting out with extreme violent behavior in movie theaters, schools, churches, political appearances, and outdoor events in general speaks volume to the irresponsible behavior of all the parties involved with the incendiary events at the Missouri State Fair ."

"In addition, our Legislature has failed to support Medicare Expansion in Missouri, has consistently attempted to dismantle our Human Rights Commission, fail to adequately fund urban schools (whom are predominately African American), yet they are subsidizing the Missouri State Fair to the tune of $400,000; we are calling for the subsidy to stop."

"Racially intolerant and insulting incidents are not uncommon in the our State lately; and in some cases on the floor of the State Capitol where intolerant and insulting behavior towards our African American President has occurred, clearly reflects the sorrow history of racism in our Country and more specifically attitudes reminisces of the Missouri Compromise."

"Lastly, the Governor's planned Pancake Breakfast for Thursday should be his 'Last Supper' at the Missouri State Fair in response to the racially intolerant attacks on his Commander in Chief."

Bush was assassinated in a movie. No one was banned for life.

So, how is this closing comment meant to be taken? "Governor, 'govern' thyself?" Make sure 'Caesar' is appeased ??

They'll tell you no one threatened Bush with a charging bull.

And they'll be serious.

This phony outrage is being ginned up to intimidate anyone who does not show unswerving loyalty to the Dear Leader.

If this is a newsworthy example of racism then there is no racism.

My understanding it was done to Pres. H.W. Bush back in 1994, although he was a former pres. at the time. I think it was the same routine as well.

I’ve known a few PRCA cowboys. They stick together. I think that the State Fair guys have gone too far and will experience a cowboy-cott at next year’s fair.

Read an article linked from Drudge (I think) on this from some left-wing rag, was interested in the comments. The ones from the Ohomo worshipers were hilarious, some of them must have been in tears when they posted - all because Dear Leader got dissed. In the immortal words of Mr. T - I pity the fools.

Don’t be afraid of them, give them something to be outraged about every week until they have a melt down and people will see how ridiculous they are. This “boy who cried wolf” act will soon be seen for the big hilarious fraud that it is.
