Rodeo Clown with a Obama mask

Godfather.

this is just stupid crap......the NAACP is just fishing for shit to throw at the fan....time to grow up !!!

Godfather.


Calls by the Missouri chapter of the NAACP for a federal investigation into a rodeo clown who donned a President Obama mask at the state fair last week are misguided and hypocritical, a Texas Republican congressman told FoxNews.com on Thursday.

U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, who has invited the clown who wore the mask to perform in Texas, said the request for probes into the incident by the Justice Department and Secret Service are “silly” and should be ignored.

“A rodeo clown is really a nominal thing and it hurt no one,” Stockman told FoxNews.com. “They didn’t speak out when George Bush was being portrayed as a murderer. To become relevant again, they need to become more of an honest broker and not have contrived anger

I think the people who are upset over a roedo clown wearing an Obama are partisan numbnuts... just like the partisan numbnuts who got their panties in a bunch over a Pearl Jam singer wearing a Bush mask. It's just a fucking mask, people.
...
The thing I think is stupid... A U.S. Congressman is at the center of this thing. Tell that fucking, tax sucking asshole to start doing the fucking job we are paying him to do. Fuck Congress... those do nothing assholes that ALL need to be fired!

'The performer, meanwhile, has been permanently banned from future state fair events and subsequent performers must undergo sensitivity training.'

Sensitivity training for clowns...That's fresh.

:fp:

“They didn’t speak out when George Bush was being portrayed as a murderer".....Bush was/is a murderer and a clown. Just like the person who replaced him, Obama.

Let's move on,

Went to a rodeo at 10 years old.

Walked out because the animal cruelty was horrendous.

I agree with this the cruelty is way over the top. I went to a show once and I've never been back since.

The NAACP is just fishing for shit? They should grow up?

It's bad enough that supposed adults are torturing a bull for their own amusement, but when they ask the crowd if they want to see "Obama run down by a bull" (source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/theoval/2 ... k/2642021/) do you seriously think this is just poking fun?

Video of the event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_xqUemUknY ("We're gonna smoke Obama man!" "Soon as this bull comes out Obama, don't you move, he's gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha!")

It was condemned by both the Republican Lt. Governor and the Democratic Governor of Missouri.

Godfather... ahhh... never mind, I don't know why I bother with this forum!

What the clown did was terrible. Our society has gone down the toilet.

I also agree that rodeos are very cruel.

I also agree that the NAACP is often very ridiculous.

I also didn't really care for Eddie making fun of the president either.

I'll have to read more later...but if they really asked that and made it part of their show, I think it is highly inappropriate.

Cosmo

What would have happened if the bull actually did run over the clown and killed him?
Would the audience have cheered?

Kat

Follow the money.

State Fair = state funded

Cosmo

Do people remember booing and/or walking out of a Pearl Jam concert or burning their Dixie Chicks CDs?
I mean, why is it okay to complain about our president... but, it's also NOT okay to complain about our president? How does that work?
...
Personally... I don't care if a rodeo clown wears a mask of our president or is a singer in a band wears a mask of our president. Probably because, from my perspctive, i know it's only a mask.

there is a lot of obama jabbing going on lately,seems everybody is just disgusted with all politions maybe the government should take notice, I don't mean to hijack my own thread but I have to say obama has made a move I agree with,he's trying to lower corprate taxes and raise teriffs/taxes on business moving work or product out of the country in an effort to slow or maybe even stop much of the out-sourcing that is killing the American families way of life but the friggin republicans keep blocking his plan....assholes.

if my info is off ...I just heard bits and pieces on the news a while back so exxxcuuussee meeeeeee !

Generally speaking, yep.

It's bad enough that supposed adults are torturing a bull for their own amusement

The NAACP doesn't care about the bull. How is this comment relevant?

but when they ask the crowd if they want to see "Obama run down by a bull" (source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/theoval/2 ... k/2642021/) do you seriously think this is just poking fun?

Frankly it's more racist to assume lower class white people in MO are by default racist than it is to encourage a bull to attack a white man pretending to be a black president. Inappropriate, sure, but not because of race.

Well, you know, the news might not be reporting the whole story... but you get a pass, at least this one time.

And I might be guilty of being too sensitive sometimes, but I dunno... I can't help but notice that there's way more violent antagonism toward Obama than there was toward Bush... and most of it smacks of racism.

Right, I'm the racist. Of course. Definitely me, and not you. For sure.

I totally agree.

At the very least they should let the calves, bulls and horse take a shot at riding on the backs of cowboys.

Hmm, never said you were a racist, though I appreciate your accusing me, based on nothing at all. Among other issues with your statement, rarely are things so cut and dry.

That aside, it might be enlightening if you would explain how you came to the conclusion that race was the motivation of the (presumably white) crowd at the rodeo.

You said "Frankly it's more racist to assume lower class white people in MO are by default racist than it is to encourage a bull to attack a white man pretending to be a black president."

Well, there's plenty of reasons to believe that, and goading a bull to attack a caricature of Obama is only one of them. You seemed to be directing that statement at me... but I see now you were directing it at the NAACP... as if they have no reason to believe it either... If you're not racist, you're blind to it, which is still a light form of racism. Believing that the NAACP is behaving like children... that's also racism.
