In the wake of a rodeo clown’s anti-Obama skit this weekend, the Missouri State Fair is forcing all clowns to undergo sensitivity training.

The state fair commission voted Monday to ratify the decision to ban the clown in question who wore an Obama mask as the rodeo announcer asked if the crowd wanted to see him get run down by a bull. The crowd enthusiastically approved, according to local media reports.

But the state commission went further, saying it will require that before the Rodeo Cowboy Association can take part in any future state fair, “they must provide evidence to the director of the Missouri State Fair that they have proof that all officials and subcontractors of the MRCA have successfully participated in sensitivity training.”

A hallmark of repressive regimes everywhere.

Liberals have no sense of humor, only hate and anger.

Had it been a Reagan clown or a Bush clown when they were in office, nothing would have happened.

They need to send the crowd for reeducation too.

Seriously, no self-respecting cowboy will accept this. They should, on the contrary, demand an apology to the cowboy in question, and full reinstatement.

The people involved in banning him should be forced to clean stables for a week or so.

Once again we have proof that liberals/progressives have no humor and no tolerance for others despite their protestations that they are the most tolerant people in America.

Sensitivity Training. A liberal brainfart that had its genesis in the 1960s to the strains of kumbaya. To liberals, EVERYTHING revolves around FEELINGS. After all, liberalism is nothing but an emotional response to adult issues.

Making clowns take “sensitivity training” is like making rappers take “sensitivity training”. If clowns can’t be insensitive, what hope is there for the rest of us?

If this guy is anything like rodeo clowns I’ve known, he will dig around in his pocket for a moment, looking for something, and come out with a middle finger to them all.

Who said most people take them seriously? It’s a way to make a living among the moochers. The most productive thing any of these folks have ever created is a fart.
