Judging just by reaction and now merit . . . A Missouri po'dunk rodeo clown is the most popular political satirist in Missouri right now . . .
Here are the most interesting links on the subject that has already elicited so many self-righteous status updates and tweets . . .
NY Daily News: Missouri rodeo clown blasted after donning Obama mask in front of bucking bull
A Pretty Good Find From Politics MO: Boonville school superintendent was announcer during controversial rodeo performance
USA Today: Rodeo clown draws criticism for Obama mask
CNN: Rodeo clown mocks Obama at Missouri State Fair
Opposing Views: Missouri State Fair Cheers Racist 'Obama' Rodeo Clown
Sorry, but this imitation red meat debate focusing on rodeo antics is far too redneck to be interesting or something more than a sideshow for opportunistic hacks and partisans attempting to most effectively over-dramatize and benefit from a stunt that isn't rally much more offensive than the vast majority of discourse espoused among the rubes from the rural areas of this state.
Tony, I had just copied the link from CNN onto my clipboard & was going to post it on the earlier link, but you beat me to it!
ReplyDeleteOne witness said that it felt like a 'Klan Rally'. He thought it was disgusting & embarrassing.
Congratulations, now the whole country knows of your ignorance.
How is this racist? This regime has brought that word out of the closet as a way to change and end any argument. I think it is funny. People are tired of o's crap and the fact he has done doing but help his friends. I guess now if he had son, he would be a bull fighter??????
ReplyDeleteThere IS a clown in the White House, so why not point it out??
ReplyDeleteI wore an Obama mask, but far more respectfully on the golf course.
ReplyDeleteIt is what the President would want.
Obama was being mocked for being a politician whose policies are unpopular with the rodeo demographic. Not unlike Hollywood's abuse of George W. Bush during his Presidency.
ReplyDeleteI never once heard Obama being mocked for being black or African-American, or called a nigger. Unlike "beat whitey" nights that have occurred at other state fairs.
Ya gotta be able to look past the skin color, Byron. Or really, you just prove yourself to be the one who is the real racist, just like the "Klan rally" commenter.
Look, the President is golfing like a Marching Cobra!!

6:24 is correct!
ReplyDeleteThe Rodeo story gets legs all over the United States, while the Main Stream Media hides this story!

It is now against the law to disrespect the Head Coon. You must obey, REPEAT, must obey..
ReplyDeleteBlacks throw the word "racist" at anyone who criticizes them- even when the criticism is justified and has nothing to do with skin color or cultural background.
ReplyDeleteAnd there are a lot of people who have had enough of blacks getting a free pass or special privileges because of their skin color.
Wanna be equal? Stop using your skin color as an excuse.
I believe the white folk found it offensive. Been to a state fair much, dumbass.
DeleteChuck cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteRead this.
ReplyDeleteThe Media, all of the Media even Fox won't touch this, but we have to worry about how people might "feel" about a mask at a rodeo.

Equal opportunity to succeed, equal opportunity to fail. Equal opportunity to be made fun of.
ReplyDeleteEquality for all!
Look the other way!!
ReplyDeletehttp://topconservativenews.com/2013/08/media-censored-the-race-of-the-victim-in-brutal-florida-school-bus-mob-beating/
Sheesh, people. Some folks need to grow a thicker skin and learn not to take things so seriously.
ReplyDeleteLOOK AT THIS LIST OF ASSAULTS, MURDERS, RAPES AND BEATINGS, BUT THE MEDIA ONLY CARES ABOUT THE POSSIBLE DISSRESPECT A MASK MIGHT BE ON BLACKS IN AMERICA.
ReplyDeleteWHAT A JOKE, WHAT A SICK JOKE.

Oh, the mask!! Honey get the kids into the other room. Calm them down and read to them from this.

The litmus test for being called a racist is so watered down these days, it's lost any impact.

ReplyDeleteHe should have worn a hoodie.
ReplyDeleteByron probably has 6:48's map on the wall jerking off to it.
ReplyDeleteAnyone recall similar outrage from both sides when the movie point break depicted bank robbery committed while wearing masks of 3 presidents? How about the movies that portrayed W as a moron? How about when an MSNBC's Ed Schultz suggested ripping out the VP's heart?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politico.com/news/stories/0210/33588.html
In short get over it or go fuck yourself.
You pretty much nailed it. It's fucking humor/satire, not racism. Even the president himself probably had a good, "chuckle", at the clowns antics.
DeleteThe only valid point made is the taxpayer subsidized event angle. Even that point is weak, at best.
If Obama had a son, he would have looked like this rodeo clown.
ReplyDeleteU.S. Senator Claire McCaskill- "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."
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, it is perfectly acceptable political discourse for the distinguished Senator McCaskill to publicly mock and disrespect sitting members of Congress, former Presidents, and members of the US Supreme Court?
How stupid. This is political humor and no more. Every Halloween these masks are worn without anything more than humor intended. These people whose first thought is it is intended otherwise should take a good look inside themselves and ask; Why did I interpret it this way? Could it be that I AM THE PROBLEM?
ReplyDeleteGee. I didn't realize that Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder was a "lib." He also found the stunt quite offensive and way out of bounds, especially at the state fair.
ReplyDeleteSo maybe you should also lecture him about what is proper to be offended about.
In fact, a lot of Missouri Republicans have lined up to express their disgust, and both the state fair board and the rodeo association have issued quick and strong apologies.
Check out the First Ammendment you fools.
ReplyDeleteI would have pooed my pants in glee if this was done to Bush during his administration. Turn about is fair play.
ReplyDeleteByron once again has shown what an ass he is.
ReplyDeleteAs well as a racist.
USA most advanced country in the world. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have checked out the First Amendment, fool.
ReplyDeleteI sorta believe it also gives me the right to speak out when I find something offensive, especially when my tax dollars are involved in funding it.
You don't find it offensive? Fine. But don't waive the First Amendment at me, then tell me to shut up bedaquse free speech applies only to those whose opinions you agree with.
In other words, the only person acting like a anti-free speech Nazi is YOU!
Missouri is now going to get Dixie Chicked!
ReplyDeleteIt would have been racist if the person had been wearing a Klan hood or a hoodie as well. But they wasn't so those who are screaming foul are only making themselves look stupid
ReplyDeleteEvery comedian in the world pokes fun at a president. Saturday Night Live is famous for it's skits on Presidents. Leno and Letterman seldom let a night go by without poking fun at a President or big city Mayor. It's called political satire and has been going on well over a two hundred years in this country alone.
Only a true racist would try and find anything racist about this rodeo clown doing his job, which is protecting the bull riders and getting the crowd to laugh.
Social media bread and circus.
ReplyDeleteMissouri apologizing for Obama 'rodeo clown' MSNBC
ReplyDeleteLOL for what having some comedic relief?
Disgusting. I can't wait to move out of this ignorant backwater toilet.
ReplyDeleteSocial Media Outrage!!
ReplyDeleteIt is now time for all citizens to revert back to mindless politically correct Zombies.
No Thinking Permitted
What would happen if it was a Sly James mask at the American Royal Rodeo?
ReplyDeleteJudas Priest! If the racial sensitive whiners don't stop with this cry baby bullshit kids will be committing suicide the minute they are born. What the hell is up with people anyway? If the clown had a George Bush mask there would not have been fifteen seconds of coverage, but let some fucking whiner get his foot one inch in the door and find anything useless he can, in his wildest unhealthy dreams, connect to anything then you suddenly have the jack off press screaming racist. Fuck you nutballs. I was part of the civil rights movement in the 60's. I saw colored restroom. I saw counters where a black man could not sit. I saw ranches and plantations where "coloreds" and whites had different facilities. I saw blacks and whites get thierr asses beat on the streets. If you fucking over sensitive pussies think this mask is a racial issue then you didn't learn a fucking thing about what the hell freedom or civil rights is about. Dr. King would shit his pants if he could see this stupid shit. Fuck all of you whiney new age sussy sonzabitches.
ReplyDeleteSuperdave: a racist is someone who just won an arguement with a Liberal or a Black.
ReplyDeleteWrong
Delete10:42, And what fucking planet do you live on?
ReplyDeleteA Sly James mask would be mistaken for a Planet of the Apes mask. Oh wait, that's no mistake!
ReplyDeleteMost people aren't racist as much as condescending towards people of color. Like white people coming in the black community to fix it. First comes the djembe, hoola hoops, and circus performers with real estate speculators at hand. They plan to make east of troost an arts community.
ReplyDeleteWell white people have to go in and fix it. The idiot blacks have ruined it and are to lazy to fix it themselves
ReplyDelete10:54 I live on the same fucking planet you do except without the self entitlement and crack issues.l
ReplyDeleteThis is a non issue. They shtick was done when Bush was president. In fact making fun of the head of state is a time honored tradition.
ReplyDeleteFace it all white and black and in between colors. Look at Obama's domestic and foriegn policies and his incompetent handling of Al Qaeda, Obamacare, IRS targeting, national debt and misquided involvement in local affairs dealing with guilty negroes etc and face the fact. Obama is
ReplyDeletethe Clown Prince of Presidents plain and simple.
11:35 then you must have went to KSPS since it appears you can't read or comprehend for shit!
ReplyDeleteWill this talented entertainer be coming to the White People's rally on September 14?
ReplyDeleteLook back in history, folks. We have always made fun of our Presidents, and some of it was pretty vicious. Why is Obama immune?
ReplyDeleteDamon wayans playing homey the clown was funny as hell for all people though ..hmmmm?

True statement! Only this time, with this president, if you get amusement out of it, you're a racist!!!
Obama is special. He is our first black and post racial president. He gets a pass to fuck up everything because he is special. Look how wonderful he was made the lives of all African-Americans and recent college grads who voted for him. NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Blacks did much better on George W. Bush amd MSNBC tells me he was a racist.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jan/28/naacp-president-black-people-worse-under-obama/
First line of the article states:
NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous said Sunday that black Americans “are doing a full point worse” than when President Obama first took office.
@2:07 ...you hit the nail on the head. just because of osambo's half darkey status, he has to be handled with kid gloves so as not to hurt his delicate feelings of inferiority.
ReplyDeleteI think Obama is really, really trying. It's just that he's incompetent. After all, this is his first real job.
ReplyDeleteFirst amendment rights, yes. But no where in the first amendment does it say that $400,000 of Missouri Taxpayers money should pay for someone's political opinion. And it became racist when the other clown played with the large "african american" lips on the mask.
ReplyDelete12:49 I can read ass hole. What I can't do Is swallow the bullshit spin you whiny asses try to attach to anything and damn near everything. You would think adults would stop tit sucking and grow a set, but noooooooooo. As long as there is a pack of stupid ass suckers who will take the bait and echo the bullshit around the country the spin doctors and racial antagonists will continue to rule America.
ReplyDeleteI hope every one who found this offensive immediately boycotts Missouri. Move out, don't have conferences here, don't come here to eat or vacation.....guess what, we won't miss you...
ReplyDeleteI wanted to attend this rodeo, but a black man took all of my money and took his family on vacation on Martha's Vineyard...:(
ReplyDeleteLolz.
DeleteSo the outrage of the Dixie chicks? All you white male republican hypocrite.
ReplyDelete4:01 for the win.
ReplyDeleteThere will be a protest in Beijing, at 4 PM Thursday, in front of the factory that has made thousands of these Obama masks. Just get in line in front of the tanks and talk your shit.
ReplyDelete3:52 when you was born did the doctor drop you on your head or something?
