JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri State Fair on Monday imposed a lifetime ban on a rodeo clown whose depiction of President Barack Obama getting charged by a bull was widely criticized by Democratic and Republican officials alike.

The rodeo clown won't be allowed to participate or perform at the fair again. Fair officials say they're also reviewing whether to take any action against the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, the contractor responsible for Saturday's event.

The entertainment during the bull riding contest featured a clown wearing a mask of Obama with an upside down broomstick attached to his backside. Spectators were asked if they wanted to see "Obama run down by a bull." Many in the audience responded enthusiastically.

Numerous Missouri officials denounced the act after video and photos were posted online. Some Democratic Missouri lawmakers suggested Monday that there should be financial consequences for the fair.

We should all show up in public
with our O-zero masks on-—

a massive show of support!

What can we boycott that’s made in Missouri? Budweiser? Anything else?

I’d love to see the bull riders and other clowns boycott the state. But I doubt it will happen.

Yes, we really need to get serious on this.

Apparently the spectators at the rodeo thought so too.

BOYCOTT!

Glenn Beck had a great idea on the radio program today. Like Glenn said, presidents in this country are not Gods, or, in the case of obozo, Mohammad, who Glenn believes oboma thinks he really is. Therefore, let's make Tuesday, Mock Oboma Day....that's what they did to Bush, Nixon, and they survived, and in America, we have this freedom to ridicule, and we do not worship at the knee of presidents.

Thin skinned, muzzie obozo has to learn to toughen up...and this rodeo performer needs to be supported and a big hand to him for mocking the Man Who Would Be Emperor in our White House.

Bet they would have been fine with a Bush clown.

Oh no! On of my all time favorite films banned!

Point Break.

Everyone that runs that fair should be removed from that position for life until charges are filed. The rodeo clown was making a joke which he has the right to do. This board on the other hand is depriving someone of their rights. Either in an official capacity (deprivation of rights under the color of law) or a private capacity (RICO).

Did I miss the part where the Rodeo Clown Wrote, Directed and Produced a Motion Picture that showed the President being Assassinated?

Oh right, the Hollywood Liberals just did that Movie about President George W. Bush, silly me.

[verga]

How many people were banned or fired for mocking Bush?

Exactly my first thought. Who got in trouble when they made the "Assassination" video? Where was the Demoncrat outrage over that?

[LibLieSlayer]

Yet the Oscars murderized Bush quite a few times and a movie was made about the assassination of Bush... but a clown clowns around about obama and is fired?

[GeronL]

and this is why Letterman doesn’t make jokes about Obama

[Fiji Hill]

I would like to see a boycott of the fair--as happened to the Eastern Sports and OUtdoor Show

[headsonpikes]

“Obama’s so thin-skinned he has a reservoir tip!”

[LibLieSlayer]

Agreed... add in the IRS.

[Obadiah]

Unbelievable. Obama the demigod shall not be mocked.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY COUNTRY? Is there no man willing to stand against the tyranny of Obama and his leftist worshipers?

President Barack Obama getting charged by a bull was widely criticized by Democratic and Republican officials alike.

Oh for the Lord's sake, those clowns will have to outlaw all the Halloween masks of this president and other POTUS!

Wow.
