SEDALIA, Mo - An incident at the Missouri State Fair on Saturday night is getting national attention via social media.
A clown wearing a mask of President Obama came out in the arena during the bull riding event. The announcer then asked the crowd if it wanted to see Obama “run down by a bull.”
An onlooker posted their account of the event on social media, which was then picked up by the Daily Kos and the Kansas City Star.
“The crowd went wild. He asked it again and again, louder each time,” the onlooker’s account of the event said.

But I keep hearing this refrain: Its (actually “it’s”) bad strategy.
Listen up, BENDING OVER AND SPREADING YOUR CHEEKS IS BAD STRATEGY AND THAT’S WHAT THE GOP HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST SEVERAL ELECTION CYCLES! IT’S TIME TO FIGHT!
Substitute GW Bush for Obama in this situation and suddenly the left would have very little problem with it.
I see their double standard but I refuse to conform to it.
And if it’s a race issue, then what they’re saying is that Obama shouldn’t be subject to certain types of criticism because of his perceived “race”. In other words, he should be treated differently because he’s “black”. That would be... wait for it... RACIST!
Whatever....I say it’s way past time to start throwing it back in the Libs’ faces after the way they’ve mocked Conservatives; up to this point, it’s been a one-way street.
I agree. I think we can heap ridicule on them in ways Alinsky never dreamed of. I do wish also that we can be classier and subtler and smarter as we go about this.
Most times, yes....but nothing wrong with getting in the mud once in awhile.
The clown POTUS deserves nothing but contempt and ridicule. Wish I,d been there. I,d be cheering as loud as anyone else.
Should have been during the bucking bronco competition.
Everyone expects to see a horse's ass during that event.
Reminds me, need to order feed for the hogs....
I'm tired of having to defend idiocy like this. This was in poor taste, and I cannot think of a SINGLE person who is more likely to dislike Obama because of it, but on the other hand, I CAN think of THOUSANDS who might now vote against us, because of this.
Why does our side have to be so dumb.

Those “THOUSANDS” would not likely vote for “us” in the first place. Gee, I wonder if hanging Sarah Palin in effigy and making the “snipers wanted” poster of W caused “THOUSANDS” to vote against the democrats.
Do you want to know what’s really stupid? Engaging an armed street brawler while “playing” by Marquis de Queensbury rules! The other side doesn’t give a rip about fair play or decorum! Bending over and spreading your cheeks won’t garner their affection or respect; it just gets us screwed!
Of course not, but remember, these morons don't even vote most of the time because they are lazy and stupid. Things like this will help motivate them, count on it, why do you thing the Left brings up racial issues before every election?

Who said anything about playing nice? I am just saying, we should be playing SMART. These kinds of stunts are just stupid and counterproductive.
Just look, the tide is FINALLY turning against Obama in the late night joke department, that will do 100X more for us than stunts like this. These dumb things may make us feel "good" and give us a good chuckle, but its like a "hold muh beer" moment, just dumb, jeese...
LOL, can you tell I am frustrated with this awful man? I just want him to continue to fade, dont want anything that might possibly give him a sympathy boost.
You said “I CAN think of THOUSANDS who might now vote against us, because of this.”
I said “Those “THOUSANDS” would not likely vote for “us” in the first place.”
You replied “Of course not, but remember, these morons don't even vote most of the time because they are lazy and stupid.”
Your arguments seems to be zipping about aimlessly not unlike a massive squirrel infestation hopped up on sugar and meth. Will those "THOUSANDS" choose not to vote with us due to this rodeo act or will those "THOUSANDS" fail to vote altogether due to laziness and/or stupidity?
You can't have it both ways. According to your last argument we aren't losing anything!
This is a golden opportunity to demonstrate the hypocrisy of the left. Pretend they are the dog that soiled the rug and rub their collective nose in it. Another opportunity is Pelosi condemning the “Slap Hillary” online game after ignoring the Palin version. Everytime they whine, moan and bitch we shove their history back in their faces and mock them for their selective outrage.
Go full retreat all you want. I want to charge straight down their throats and rip em apart from the inside. I don't care if this hurts your iddy biddy liberal feelings. I don't care if it means "dey won't wike us and won't be our fwends!" They hate us and everything we stand for already! They won't be satisfied until are either enslaved or dead!
Screw em!
What I meant was, that these antics will get some of the non-voters to want to vote. So it will create votes FOR democrats that would not have been there originally. So its more votes for them, overall. Thats the only way they win, by getting the lazy, low info voter, to come out and vote.
Basically, I dont want any sympathy votes for them, as I said originally, I believe Michael Moore got GWB re-elected. And yes, I am hyped up, like that squirrel, watching some of his saved acorns toll away, lol.
I agree that the best tactic at this point is to show they hypocrisy, but that wont get nearly the same traction as the "racist rodeo" mem will.
Now that was a classy response. You could have come back with something rude or sarcastic but you didn't. You're alright.
On topic, everyone could see Michael Moore was a liar and a hypocrite. As far as the rodeo stunt goes, I think a lot of voters (except for the dead ones and the illegals) would agree with the clown.
Truth resonates and generates appeal. GOP cowardice disgusts and drives away supporters.
