Missouri State Fair officials have banned for life the rodeo clown who wore a President Obama mask while facing bulls at the event over the weekend.
The clown in question engaged in an “unconscionable stunt” and will never perform at the Show Me state venue again, the Missouri State Fair Commission said Monday, in a statement. Fair officials are also reviewing their contract with the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, the contractor responsible for hiring and overseeing bull ring clowns.
The performance was “inappropriate and not in keeping with the Fair’s standards," said the statement.
The fair did not reveal the clown’s identity.
During a bull riding contest on Sunday, the clown appeared wearing a rubber mask of the president with an upside down broomstick trailing from his backside, as if it were a tail. The audience was asked, over a public address system, if it wanted to see Mr. Obama “run down by a bull.” Many people present clapped and cheered, according to one witness, Perry Beam.
“It was feeling like some kind of Klan rally,” said Mr. Beam.

Reinstate the rodeo clown and ban O
for life,
It is ridiculous.
The comments were closed because they most likely were siding with the Rodeo clown and not the O.
There’s no need to be nasty. I made the mistake of watching the original video on USA Today. Poor quality and edited. So then who got “banned for life?” The announcer? Or the clown that was wearing the mic?
I really don’t understand — SNL mocks the president regularly, and late night talk show hosts also make fun of presidents of both parties. Why is this one guy getting reamed for doing what clowns always do?
I had no intention of being nasty.
“I have no clue as to what is racist about it. It could have been a mask of ANY POTUS.”
It could have been and has been and I don’t believe it’s racists but apparently some are afraid to mock or to not attack someone who mocks obama.
He should have gotten a good laugh out the crowd and everyone moved on. End of story, end of rodeo.
Instead, the soap opera goes into overdrive once again.
He is welcome here in Texas, anytime.

It was a scarecrow!
I must admit, with the broom seeming to be used to prop “it” up, it could very well BE a Scarecrow. I haven’t yet found anything definitive attesting to that.
However, if it IS a Scarecrow, it reminds of the bellowing of the Left vis-à-vis Dan Quayle and the Murphy Brown episode.
“It’s a fictional character” they shrieked, for weeks on end.
The hypocrisy is breathtaking...
It’s a fictional character
Odumbo and his sycophants have set back race relations in this country fifty years. Thinking people are tired of this sh*t! And to think, Odumbo was supposed to be the president who bridged the racial divide. As incompetent as Jimmy Carter was he couldn't hold a candle to Odumbo when it comes to incompetence.
