...The clown, Tuffy Gessling, has reportedly received a lifetime ban for the gesture, which was part of his clown act for an event focused on entertainment.

The taxpayer funded Missouri State Fair Commission, reportedly given Gessling a lifetime ban from performing again at the fair. It is not clear to what extent this could be a violation of Gessling’s first amendment rights to free speech, but many have noted that the United States has a long tradition of satirizing presidents and politicians...

Obama really is beneath contempt. He serenely vacations while his people destroy the life of a rodeo clown, who makes how much per year?

It was the announcer who really sparked the issue by his asking the crowd if they wanted to see him run down by a bull..."

So? Either way the cowardly Missouri State Fair Commission let themselves be silenced....do you see what is going on here? Obama's Brown Shirts...you can't even use humor if it belittles this man...Obama. We're in a heap of trouble folks.......

good idea—I have already written the Missouri Rodeo Cowboys Association—and their Gov. protesting this.IF the PRCA were as low life as the Missery politicians the PRCA would ban all PRCA events from associating with Missry (Missouri) I agree with te editorial on WND that Tuffy deserves the Nobel Prize— and with comment there by Preacher Kinchlow who called it all nonsense. This suggestion of everyone wearing a BO mask to remember Benghazi reminds me of the suggestion by Glenn Beck also.But it is a good idea.On that day everybody could Lie to the press about how his Administration was just a spontaneous reaction to a movie nobody ever saw.

I am sure some local Dem/Lib politician will somehow get cops to shut it down in the name of public safety.

"..as I recall the first reports of this were fans upset over the announcer’s comments, not the clown himself.."

Well, ain't we all just sooo sorry to hear some humans were "upset" about a l'il roast directed at Dearest Leader. /s

But the rodeo performer can now go on tour to standing applause, across America. Some aspiring professional talent scout should sign him to a representation agency agreement.

Thanks....here is another headline: Clown at state fair dressed as Obama draws criticism... Incident condemned by politicians, fair officials.

From a spectator in the stands: XX was among the spectators Saturday in Sedalia. He told the Associated Press “everybody screamed” and “just went wild” as the announcer talked about having the bull run down the clown with the Obama mask.

“It was at that point I began to feel a sense of fear. It was that level of enthusiasm,” X......... from Higginsville, told the AP, referring to the reaction from the crowd that filled the fair’s grandstand.

Apparently the enthusiasm expressed by the Rodeo fans is an unwanted indicator for Obamniacks in your list and "“The State Fair is funded by taxpayer dollars, and is supposed to be a place where we can all bring out families and celebrate the state that we love,” Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill said in a statement." Well Yeah Ms.McCaskill, all sorts of families not just those who agree with you.............

Understood, and agreed with. I just wanted to point out that the clown only wore the mask. And likely, had the announcer not said what he did, there would likely have been no outrage whatsoever. It's still droppings from the south end of a north-bound bull.

Let’s find out who is banning the clown so we can threaten the banners with economic harm. We’re at war with the leftist Nazi scum, so let’s start acting like we’re at war and attack.
