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.

My first thought also:
Freedom of speech!!!
Devils’ lies. Powerful delusions.
Oh good lord.
He was not banned when he wore a Clinton mask or a GQ Bush mask..........he are doomed.
How is what this poor clown guy did any different from an SNL skit about Bush or Palin ?
Maybe Glenn Beck will hire him as his clown stand-in.
Hey, I like Beck. Am just referring to his many self- deprecating remarks on being a radio clown.
At the next event, this same rodeo should have all black clowns wear masks of past presidents EXCEPT for 0bama and watch the crowd have fun without any complaints whatsoever. Let the leftists stew in their own hypocrisy.
why of course, because this is not the devil’s little game. i think this is satan’s dress rehearsal for the great world deceit.
It was not a Human being!
It was a scarecrow!
But in 1994, Douglas A. Campbell, a writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer chronicled a rodeo clown even featuring George H.W. Bush.
From the report:
The big white gate flew open. The bull came out bucking. The rider flopped from side to side and the bullfighters held back, letting the bull make his moves until the rider dropped off. Licciardello crouched in a heavily padded barrel, a human target should the bull decide to charge. Hawkins waited near the barrel, holding his big inner tube. A dummy with a George Bush mask stood beside the clown, propped up by a broomstick.
…
T.J. Hawkins rolled out the big inner tube, and the bull lowered his head, shot forward and launched into the tube, sending it bounding down the center of the arena. The crowd cheered. Then the bull saw the George Bush dummy. He tore into it, sending the rubber mask flying halfway across the sand as he turned toward the fence, sending cowboys scrambling up the fence rails, hooking one with his horn and tossing him off the fence.
Give him the same punishment as those who wore those Nixon, Reagan and Bush masks.
The media will be throwing these screams of racism at us, from here until the election 2016..
Trayvon, Paula Deen, DOJ drug crimes reform, DOJ suing States over Voter ID laws AGAIN, Oprah, Rodeo Clown.. Media pimping early for Hillary 2016!! Gotta start rallying the black voters early!! That's what this is all about. A lot more to come.
Has the War on Women come back to life yet? That should be stirred up in the media AGAIN any day now.
when all that is left on the earth are savages, they’ll have their wonderful, christian-free utopia.
spoiler alert - it won’t end well.
“Free speech is dead and its not coming back”.
Just wait till the next rodeo in Texas, Obummer masks will be required clown costume. This could go big with mocking the fraud, like the king has no clothes but funnier!
I don’t think this is the rodeo operators, I think it’s beuracrats that work for the state reacting to elected democrats. Republicans joined in not wanting to be called racists.
that’s because you can’t have TWO actors playing obama.
I checked out several Missouri media outlets and they were closed for comments............
bttt
because...because...he’s “THE ONE!! Gag!
And after the crowds laugh at them - total anarchy ensues!
Hey look over there- a safe, family friendly, Gay Pride parade of costumed deviants!
I don't think so, I think it's a case of tyranny of the minority.......
