JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri State Fair on Monday imposed a lifetime ban on a rodeo clown whose depiction of President Barack Obama getting charged by a bull was widely criticized by Democratic and Republican officials alike.

The rodeo clown won't be allowed to participate or perform at the fair again. Fair officials say they're also reviewing whether to take any action against the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, the contractor responsible for Saturday's event.

The entertainment during the bull riding contest featured a clown wearing a mask of Obama with an upside down broomstick attached to his backside. Spectators were asked if they wanted to see "Obama run down by a bull." Many in the audience responded enthusiastically.

Numerous Missouri officials denounced the act after video and photos were posted online. Some Democratic Missouri lawmakers suggested Monday that there should be financial consequences for the fair.

We are on the way to becoming North Korea. Maximum Leader must not be mocked and his subjects are expected to worship him. This is outrageous, alright; it is outrageous that the clowns life has been ruined and the Rats want financial penalties, as well. The next step is just to jail or disappear those citizens who don’t display the proper attitude.

Remember the fun we had when Obama won the Noble Prize?
Everyone came up with all sorts of hilarous press
releases and headlines.
Why stop now?

Headline: Obama takes part time job as rodeo clown to
afford Obamacare.

You know the old saying, “Mess with the Obama and get
the broom?”

***For crying out loud! Bet they didn’t pull that sort of censorship when Bush was president,***

Mardi Gras, New Orleans.

Concerned citizens should consider not attending MO state fair?

But....I’m sure there are children that want to go so depriving them because of the actions of radical fair officials wouldn’t be right either.

LOL!

[Ouderkirk]

Like this ?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

The DUrs are foaming at the mouth, falling down, getting skinned up and wallowing in the mire because of this offence against their demi-god Obama the Great.

[tet68]

I bet obama has already targeted the guy for a drone strike.

Oh, he’s more subtle than that.

Headline: Rodeo Clown killed when raging bull
mistakenly released into his trailor...

[Doomonyou]

So much for the first amendment and political speech.

[PhiloBedo]

Now if he’d worn a GW Bush mask, there wouldn’t have been a ripple.

[PhiloBedo]

Really! What happened to free speech?

[Osage Orange]

Sure...bet you $1k it doesn’t happen.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

It’s comin’.

[cld51860]

Can we for Pete’s sake just GROW UP? Which Republoweenies joined on this idiocy???

[cripplecreek]

Spectators were asked if they wanted to see "Obama run down by a bull." Many in the audience responded enthusiastically.

Heh heh

[SkyDancer]

Now if it was Nixon, Reagan or Bush he would have gotten a standing O ..... it is not nice to make fun of Dear Leader. Even those RINO’s agreed.

[hitkicker]

Many in the audience responded enthusiastically.

This probably infuriated His Royal Majesty as much as the clown did.

“Clue #1,182 that you live in a marxist dictatorship: Any mockery of the Leader results in swift punishment / loss of professional career.”

Perhaps the clown can redeem himself by smearing a crucifix with feces.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

There is an old movie THE PHANTOM PRESIDENT(1932). In it, George M Cohan is mistaken for a presidential candidate and Jimmy Durante is his shill.

In one scene Jimmy gives his spiel outside the Presidential convention, the camera then pans to the rear end of a police horse as the horse’s butt slowly fades to a politician giving a speech.

Wonder what that meant? ;-D

[SES1066]

And here I could swear that SATIRE was protected free speech and thus all of those Nixon and Reagan masks and endless inanities by the “intelligentsia” (of the left!)

Obviously, what is sauce for the goose has gone rancid when applied against you-know-who!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Did you read about Oprah? She wants to make a movie now about him to show “how great he is”..her words exactly. That’s exactly it: They see him as a demigod. He can do no wrong, he is the Messiah!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Black (even if only half black) is the new Teflon. Don’t you dare criticize a black man, even if he is a lowlife Marxist. You’ve got to keep your inner child’s white guilt under control. Political correctness rules, don’t ya know.

[Skywise]

What’s the difference between this and Comedy Central’s
Lil Bush?

West is a thug and hoodlum

If we only had a web site....

Time to use commie tactics against the commies...

Chickenshits

charged by a bull was widely criticized by Democratic and Republican officials alike.

Further proof that Republicans are as useless as tits on a bull.

“If you want to find out who rules over you, find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”

[GeronL]

A guy wearing an Obama mask is bad but TV shows, books, movies asking for Bush to be murdered was free speech, and a guy on late night TV making a “joke” about the minor daughter of Palin being raped was okay with them too.

What a sick, perverted country we live in

[GeronL]

Once upon a time they worked for us, now they own us.

[atc23]

That rude is seriously light in his loafers - where was that pic taken - the queer golf tourney?

[cherry]

the clown needs to sue and so do the people, by not attending, or perhaps they can go out and all buy the faker’s face mask and deface in on tv...

[dfwgator]

Meanwhile, Missouri still celebrates this guy.

[JCBreckenridge]

I don’t know the name of this rodeo clown, but I am sure that some intrepid reporter will publish it.

[knarf]

HE IS NOT MUHAMMUD, WE'RE NOT CRAZED MUZZIES AND YOU SHOULD LOSE YOUR CITIZENSHIP FOR ACTING LIKE CRAZED MUZZIE ASS CLOWNS.

God ... will you PLEASE strike some sense into America .... please ???

[Old Yeller]

He should have dressed up as a horses ass. Most of us would know who it represented.

[Paladin2]

Bammy is STILL the firearm and Ammo salesman of the month (for ~6 years running).

[rightwingextremist1776]

It needs to go VIRAL! Perfect Alinsky moment.

[mikrofon]

Hey, it's not like his head was shown on a pike or anything ...

[onona]

First you could not make fun of Allah. Now we have added The Won. Who is next?

That'd be me. Not gonna have it. Not for a minute.

Nope nope nope.

[hummingbird]

Stay classy, jackass.

[Salamander]

““The “clown” needs to get a buck from a million or so of appreciative American fans.”

This.”

That.

[Paladin2]

LOL, north end of a south bound horse.

[Hot Tabasco]

widely criticized by Democratic and Republican officials alike.

Republican officials were pissed off too? Sounds to me like that broomstick was off target.......

[Paladin2]

Or ten bucx from 100,000.

He should run for office...(with the mask).
