Tuffy Gessling, the Missouri rodeo clown who wore a President Obama mask at the state fair, defends his actions and discusses the backlash he has faced.

I remember the disgraceful way they treated Presidents Bush and President Reagan. They also tore apart President Ford. But their little Bambi-Boy is sacrosanct. Hypocritical, double-standard and thin skinned.
This country is getting to be more and more like Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, all wrapped up in one little dictatorship ball!
I call them maturity snobs because they’re so much better (PC) than to laugh at themselves or the absurdities in every day life and these days there is more of that than I’ve ever known. First it was the ‘90’s and now this. The more I make fun of it the more I feel like a real human being.
the backlash he faced is only from liberals.
Unfortunately with the liberals firmly in control of the media, the media set in motion the process by which he was fired and banned from the Missouri fair.
But I understand he has been invited to perform elsewhere.
Even if you can think that what he did was in poor taste, does he really deserve to lose his livelihood over something like this? Is making fun of Obama really a firing offense? Yet that was the politically correct reaction of the idiots who run the Missouri fair.
And the other clowns are being sent to sensitivity training. You might think it was satire when you heard about sensitivity training. But we live in a politically correct world.
I predict that political humor and belittling jokes will be okay again, the nexttime there is a Republican president.
Liberals are sadsacks, they suck the fun out of EVERYTHING.
Be thankful for the new media which is doing the job the old media either can not or refuses to do.
Also because humor does tell the truth.
Hang in there cowboy, there is still hope that someday people will not be so thin skinned they can’t laugh at anything, including themselves. Keep doing what you do, the world needs to lighten up and laugh.
Actually you can’t lose what you never had. Leftist sneer and mock but they have no humor, none.
Fear is the culprit here.
The leaders in Missouri all acted out of fear.
A pack of cowards. They feared being called racist, the actually fear the word as it is spouted by actual racists who scream it 24/7.
This is one of the biggest tempests in a tea pot that has come along in a long time. There is no meaning to it.
.....But “sacred cows” do get destroyed in the end.
In other words, we are living Orwell's 1984.
All the spying, the class/race warfare, government control of everything, part-time low paying jobs (if you can get one), buisnesses being run out of buisness.
All these things ultimately serve to funnel millions on to the government (taxpayer) dole. Hugo Chavez would be proud of his protege 0bama.
Yes, people have become too thin-skinned. The long-lost American sense of humor prevails. If people were happier in general they would lighten up. Some, like Muslims, feminists, NAACP Elders, and the stridently left are always going to be unhappy and, thus, need help with their senses of humor. Others are just not in a good mood because of the direction things have been going for the last decade or so.
The rodeo clown performance never bothered me. But as a city girl, it was very interesting to find out the background and history of this kind of act. Urbanites, liberals et al have got to educate themselves about rural customs just as country people need to understand the ways of city live. In other words, Northeasterners need to travel more in America than Europe.
Good points. The only problem with this, though, is that northeastern liberals think they are smarter than everyone else, and feel that they should tell everyone else how to live. They don’t think that they can learn anything from anyone about other parts of the country, because they feel so superiorand feel that New York, Boston, Washington, etc are far superior in every way to Columbus, Kansas City, Boise, Omaha, Ft. Wayne, Louisville, etc.
And don’t even mention traveling in the south to these northeastern liberals.
So they would never want to travel and learn about other parts of the country. Northeast liberals will travel to California, but, never stop anywhere in flyover country.
I owuld pay to see the guy perform with a tropp of Obama clowns. Humor is a the cure for self-righteousness.
