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.

Investigating a rodeo clown will solve all our problems. No wait. I meant, investigating the azzclown in the white hut and banning him from holding public office for life will solve all our problems.

The NAACP is strangely silent though when it comes to real issues affecting race.

Liberal hypocrisy, like stupidity, knows no color.

This is the kind of thing they do when there’s something they want to draw everyone’s attention away from...like benghazi, the IRS scandal, the NSA scandal, the Clinton scandal, seal team 6 scandal, etc.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, black kids are being gunned down by other black kids and the NAALCP (Liberal colored people) does absolutely NOTHING says NOTHING, and teams up with rappers who spew VILE messages to young kids.
Texas will take the rodeo clown (Not the WH clown)

So everyone associated with the rodeo should tell the great state of Missouri to shove it and not go to their silly event.

What a bunch of whining idiots...why would you want to go and subject yourself to that crap?

Plenty of other palces to go and be...or to run a paralell event...

Dunno...sounds like some folks in Mo. got their heads on too tight and their cohones in a box.

When the backlash begins, things are going to get really ugly for the racebaiters and the queers. I think the average American is really getting fed up with this crap. The “American Dream” is collapsing for a lot of normal people and families are being hurt. And all the government cares about (Democrat and Republican) is nonsense about rodeo clowns and boycotting the Olympics.

"Twenty years and a whole other nation ago, a rodeo clown at the Missouri State Fair not only wore a George H.W. Bush mask, but even swapped out a dummy in the same mask that the bull tore apart on the spot.

The nation did not shudder, the politicians did not call for the clown’s head and there was no secret service investigation of a possible assassination-by-bull plot by a gang of rogue rodeo clowns.

But that was America; a strange and different country. It was not perfect, but rodeo clowns, comedians and your neighbor Bob felt free to mock the President of the United States without worrying that the heavy hand of manufactured outrage would descend on their necks.

It is hard to describe that America to a younger generation that has never lived in it and has never known anything other than the liberal morality mobs of the Obama age eager to pounce on some offense of heteronormative white privilege committed against liberal conformity."


This needs to be repeated over, and over again to any and everyone who thinks the BS going on in Missouri is anything but more race baiting in support of the CLOWN in the White House!!!
