rodeo-clownWhile there is no written law, we may have finally reached a place in America where its forbidden to publicly mock the president of the United States assuming the president is an African-American and a member of the Democratic Party.
The outcry over a rodeo clown donning a mask resembling President Obama reached a new level of absurdity when it was reported Monday that the man behind the mask has been permanently banned from performing at the fair ever again, as reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Missouri State Fair officials barred the rodeo clown from ever performing at the fair again and are requiring that all officials and subcontractors associated with the association must participate in sensitivity training, the Post-Dispatch noted.
In addition, the president of the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, who served as the announcer at the event, resigned on Monday.
Several state lawmakers are also demanding an investigation after threatening to cut funding for the fair, an annual event that receives state tax dollars.
Politicians and the national media jumped all over the incident, deeming it to be inappropriate and disrespectful. However, very few are acknowledging that what took place in Sedalia, Mo., on Saturday night was a duplication of a stunt that has been performed many times before.

Personally I think he should be elevated to hero status. To tell the truth that King Obama is the class communists black clown was accurate.
To: Uncle Miltie
Yet Jay Leno did it and got away with it. Depends if you are famous, no problem. Otherwise you get in trouble.

To paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr.: I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the thinness of their skin.
