NAACP calls on Justice Dept., Secret Service to investigate rodeo clown flap
Washington Times ^ | August 14, 2013 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Posted on 08/15/2013 2:21:09 AM PDT by grundle

The Missouri chapter of the NAACP appealed for the U.S. Department of Justice and the Secret Service to launch an investigation and open a federal case against the rodeo clown who donned a mask of President Obama’s face...

... the fallout so far has included the resignation of the head of Missouri’s rodeo-clown organization, and the announcement of Missouri State Fair officials that all rodeo clowns will now have to take sensitivity training as a condition of their employment.

... the clown who actually performed the skit... has been banned for life from state rodeo performances.

The NAACP has jumped the shark, and has lost any pretense of respectability or legitimacy. They should not expect to be taken seriously when they conduct themselves like clowns. The NAACP should be treated with the contempt that it deserves.

Don’t laugh, folks. Libs have worked themselves up into a frenzy over this, and we know that once they get their teeth into something they don’t let go. How long before this guys identity, address, soc security number, etc., is “accidentally” released by the media? Undoubtedly he and his family will be getting death threats. And his parents, too. If he has any sense he will get the hell out of this stinking country.

I kinda hope they do, only to highlight the abject stupidity of this DOJ.

Exactly what law was broken here that demands any investigation?


Incitement to violence against the preezy according to a black race baiter on Fox last night.

“The incident Saturday night was denounced by leading Democrats AND REPUBLICANS and fair officials as disrespectful to the president.”

Apparently fair goers are siding against the clown because they are still going to the fair instead of boycotting it.

As another poster put it, does anyone really believe that a shadowy cabal of rodeo clowns were conspiring an assassination-by-bull? Do these master race baiters understand how utterly ridiculous this makes them look?

No. But the left knows they can get a lot of mileage out of this.

Of all the presidents before this one, you could mock them if they weren’t doing their job to your liking.

With this one though... it means you have evil racism in your heart and therefore are a threat to society and must be removed.

Damn, why didn’t they think of putting a black president in there earlier?

Yes, better to have a clown in the rodeo than one in the Oval Office.

The clown apparently violated the presidents rights under the missing and recently resurrected amendment to the bill of rights “Freedom from offense.”

Google hate crimes.

No, the Left THINKS it can get a lot of mileage out of it. All they’re managing to do is make utter buffoons of themselves.
