It's not nice to make fun of sacred cows.
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.
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.
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.
Seems to me that there is an abysmal loss of a national sense of humor. Things that once were funny now just attract law suits.
Jase Robertson (Duck Dynasty) displayed class recently. After being ejected from a New York hotel as a homeless bum, he mildly pointed out that he had been Beard Profiled. Jase made a joke of it, which once was the American way.
