regulator 0 #1 August 16, 2013 According to breitbart.com on Tuesday, the Missouri State National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) issued a statement asking for federal involvement in the case of a rodeo clown who wore an Obama mask and then asked the crowd if they’d like to see Obama run down by a bull. “The activities at the Missouri State Fair targeting and inciting violence against our President are serious and warrant a full review by both the Secret Service and the Justice Department,” said State President Mary Ratliff. “Incidents involving individuals acting out with extreme violent behavior in movie theaters, schools, churches, political appearances, and outdoor events in general speaks volume to the irresponsible behavior of all the parties involved with the incendiary events at the Missouri State Fair.” Ratliff went on to condemn the state’s funding of the State Fair: “our Legislature has failed to support Medicare Expansion in Missouri, has consistently attempted to dismantle our Human Rights Commission, fail to adequately fund urban schools — (who) are predominately African American — yet they are subsidizing the Missouri State Fair to the tune of $400,000; we are calling for the subsidy to stop…[Governor Nixon's] planned Pancake Breakfast for Thursday should be his ‘Last Supper’ at the Missouri State Fair in response to the racially intolerant attacks on his Commander in Chief.” http://gopthedailydose.com/2013/08/16/naacp-doj-secret-service-should-investigate-rodeo-clown/ Obviously there wasn't enough race baiting in the trayvon martin case so the NAACP wants to turn up the heat on a rodeo clown. In reality their reverse racism is making them look like a bunch of crying bitches. Get over it already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #12 August 17, 2013 When I first read the article on Yahoo about it, thought they were just upset that it was in poor taste to say that about a President. Didn't even think the upset was over racism. If they had the masked Obama character eating fried chicken, watermelon, or walking like a monkey, that would be racist. Having a Presidential character doing president things (maybe a joke about Obamacare) and things that rodeo clowns do is not. Vaguely recall reading that this rodeo always had a President character that they'd make fun of. Has Obama said anything about it one way or the other?Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

I think the whole thing is a bunch of crap. It was just satire and I don't believe there was any ill intent. The NAACP and their constant, petty complaints of racism doesn't help their cause. It's just fine when black comedians make jokes and fun of whites. Just more politically correct bull-shit. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess you've not been out in public enough to see that you are the minority. The day is over for white people. White women are not having enough babies fast enough to make a difference. White men are pretty much over too. Reason: they let the women go to work and guess what: working women are worse off now then when they stayed at home. Once women entered the workforce prices increased. Now it takes two to fund a household. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being a dumbass who thinks that even joking in front of a crowd about harming a sitting POTUS is funny, he's a fucking dumbass You must not get out much. This kind of thing happens with EVERY president. I've seen video of other rodeo clowns doing the same thing with Bush and Clinton masks. It's not racist until the president isn't white. Tell me again who is forcing racism? This may be news to you, but you can joke about watching anyone getting run over by a bull. Free speech baby. If you wanna be in this country, you're exposed to both sides of it. President or not. It wasn't a threat and it wasn't racist."Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!"

jclalor 12 #21 August 19, 2013 If by getting out much, you mean going to a lot of rodeos, no, I guess I don't get out much. Not sure who said it was racist, as I don't believe that's a crime. I was just always under the impression it's stupid to make any joke about bombs at airports and also about joking about the Presidents well being. Next time your in a theatre, scream fire. Before they haul you off, just tell them; "Free speech baby" and see what that gets you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linebckr83 3 #22 August 19, 2013 I'm under the understanding that free speech ends with the endangerment of others. Yelling fire in a movie theatre, or bomb on an airplane, creates mass panic and most likely injuries. Asking the crowd if they want to see a rodeo clown with a mask get run over does not endanger anyone but the clown...who is being paid to do that work anyways. I wouldn't group the two situations together."Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!"

"stampede" I see what I did there ...
