Like this?And Republicans say I'm the racist.
stuck on a broom that descended from his backside.
"The state fair is funded by taxpayer dollars, and is supposed to be a place where we can all bring our families and celebrate the state that we love," she said. "But the young Missourians who witnessed this stunt learned exactly the wrong lesson about political discourse, that somehow it's ever acceptable to, in a public event, disrespect, taunt, and joke about harming the president of our great nation."

Republicans teaching their children how to treat "black men". You gotta love it. They are who they are.
Right, it's only appropriate when a Republican is mocked in public...
Got it.
The indestructible 2008 race card...no matter how many times it's played, it never wears out...
It's not right for any President to be mocked in that way, especially when it isn't a political event.
another funny thing
Mark Ficken (the announcer at the rodeo)
who is the superintendent of Bonnerville public schools
has lawyered up over this
--LOL

Probably with good reason.
Rodeos have used presidential masks on dummies for decades.
Dummy with Bush mask on.
This some funny stuff and it is all over the internet tonight. Liberals are flying mad about it though but as I was reading the article, I thought one thing. "When am I going to see someone cry 'racism'?" Sure enough, I found it. It's amazing that the crowd goes wild when Obama is parodied and then the elite politicians cower in fear and bend over backwards to protect this ineligible president and to condemn the act so enjoyed by the common man.
Rodeo Clown Dresses As President Obama at Mo. State Fair « CBS St. Louis
The photo was first posted on the liberal blog Show Me Progress. The blog post tells the tale of a Missouri resident, Perry Beam, who attended the fair in Sedalia with his wife Lily and a Taiwanese student Saturday night.
“Just prior to the start of the bull riding event, one of the clowns came out dressed in this,” the posts says, referring to the photo. “The announcer wanted to know if anyone would like to see Obama run down by a bull. The crowd went wild. He asked it again and again, louder each time, whipping the audience into a lather. One of the clowns ran up and started bobbling the lips on the mask and the people went crazy.”
According to the post, a bull then charged the clown, forcing him to run away “to the delight of the onlookers hooting and hollering from the stands.”
Excerpt~
Beam’s story was also posted on Daily Kos and shared on social media sites Facebook and Twitter Sunday morning. Much of the outrage centered on the fact that the Missouri State Fair is publicly-funded and billed as a family-friendly event.
“I felt like I was at a Klan rally,” Beam told the website Raw Story. “This isn’t a Republican state fair. I want to write the governor and the fair board, because I want my money back. This was shameful.”
some dumb-shit assholes will read "race" into anything...
the rodeo was attended by rural folks, whom I 'spect were 90+% conservative...
and no fans of Obama because of his politics, not because of the shade of his skin...
I imagine a similar gathering of libs would have hooted and hollered and clapped for a clown in a GWB mask back when GWB was president...
it really only depends on who is office at the time
when bush was in office bush dummy clowns
had been used at rodeos and the crowds cheered that as well

It was wrong then, too.
.Ficken, who is also the Boonville school superintendent, has hired an attorney to defend against the onslaught of media reports and is arguing that his sole reference to the clown was this single statement: "Watch out for that bull Obama!"
"This is a man who was doing nothing more than expressing words of caution," Albert Watkins, the St. Louis-based attorney now representing Ficken, tells Daily RFT
"This story is replicated ad nauseum on the Internet...and tens of millions of people in seconds are exposed to a falsehood," he says. "It's proliferated to such an extent...it's nothing short of a media gang bang."

Shameful Missouri State Fair stunt smears Obama
The taxpayer-supported Missouri State Fair got a lot of negative publicity Sunday following a report of a shameful stunt that occurred Saturday night in Sedalia.
A rodeo clown wore a President Obama mask during bull-riding at the Missouri State Fair.
Basically, a clown wearing a mask of President Barack Obama came out during the bull riding event at the fair. The crowd was asked if it wanted to see Obama run down by a bull.
Things got worse from there, which doesnt surprise me, given the anti-Obama feeling among many fairgoers from rural Missouri, where Obama lost to Mitt Romney (at least 60-40 percent in much of outlying parts of state) in 2012 election.
Egged on by the crowd and the announcer, One of the clowns ran up and started bobbling the lips on the mask and the people went crazy. Finally, a bull came close enough to him that he had to move, so he jumped up and ran away to the delight of the onlookers hooting and hollering from the stands.
Obviously this is a horrible show of respect for the President of the United States at a public event at the state fair which got more than $400,000 from Missouri state taxpayers this year.
Its also borderline illegal; the U.S. Secret Service takes threats against the president seriously. While the president himself was in no danger here, its the kind of stupid activity that could give nuts ideas about harming the president.

The president is a public figure. It is not illegal to parody him or any other public figure. He has done the same himself. Anybody remember 'lipstick on a pig?"
