Missouri State Fair officials apologize for rodeo clown who wore Obama mask
WaPo ^ | 8/12/13 | Aaron Blake

Update 4:15 p.m.: The rodeo clown has been banned from participating in the state fair again.

SNIP

Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.), meanwhile, said: “I am amazed that in 2013, such hatred, intolerance and disrespect towards the President of the United States could take place at the Missouri State Fair. Our fair is supposed to showcase the best of Missouri, instead, it showed an ugly face of intolerance and ignorance to the world.”

Funny, I don’t remember a$$-kissing groveling apologies over the hate directed at GWBush.

Hopefully they will also ban all the fans who cheered the guy as well. That will leave exactly ONE person left standing, the liberal who posted the video with all the usual whines. Since he hates rodeo too, they can ban that. And then they can cancel the state fair altogether, which will be fine with the Obama crowd.

CAVED! I can’t believe it! Presidents have always been the butts of jokes at rodeos! I still remember the anti LBJ joke from the 1960s.

Cowboy walks into a bar and says “Lyndon Johnson is a horse’s Ass! (they substituted Horses neck).

Another cowboy gets up and slugs him.
1st cowboy says..”Man this must be LBJ country!:

The other cowboy says...”WE AIN’T LBJ country! But we are darn good horse country!”

Why?

Why is not okay to make fun of Obama but its okay to make fun of Bush the exact same way?

Cowards.

Simpletons. Enablers. Butt-suckers.

Naming my dog after this person would be an insult to the dog.

Why is the Washington Poo concerned? When it came to an extended case of corruption, murder, coverup, and public support for the activities at an abortion clinic in Philly, we were told that they didn’t cover local crime stories.

The DRrs are absolutely foaming at the mouth, falling down and getting skinned up, screaming and hollering, wallowing in the mire, over this insult to their great demi god Obama. HE with the broomstick stuck up his A$$.

It didn’t show hatred, or intolerence it perhaps
showed some disrespect but we are allowed to do
that.....at least we WERE.

I’m only surprised the clown got off as lightly
as he has, in the Soviet Union he’d of gotten 10 years.
Oh well, that’s probably next the way things are going.

What was their take on the John Mellencamp song Rodeo Clown written about George Bush back in 2007?

When you are POTUS, being the object of parody and ridicule comes with the territory.

Because free speech is just friggin wrong when exercised by a conservative against a socialist. From everything I have read the crowd loved it. I think the State Fair Officials are all geldings.

Don’t be amazed Clay, your man is truly hated because of what he is and the threat he represents to the United States of America! A Commie loving traitor who seeks to destroy this country.
