Obama rodeo stunt leads to sensitivity training for Missouri State Fair clowns

The Missouri State Fair will force rodeo clowns to complete sensitivity training after a clown mocked President Obama in a stunt one spectator likened to a Ku Klux Klan rally.

The fair’s commission also approved a lifetime ban on the offending clown.

**SNIP**

The fair commission has called the stunt “unacceptable” and approved a measure that would force the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association to crack down on everyone responsible. The association would also have to prove all officials and subcontractors — such as the clowns — had successfully completed sensitivity training before working future rodeos.

Spectator Perry Beam said, “Everybody screamed” and “just went wild” during the performance.

Sounds like the crowd also needs a dose of sensitivity training.

What was the crime? Screw these people. Just say no to becoming a zombie.

I await the next rodeo where Obama masks are sold.

They’ll sell out.

Both masks and tickets.

Oh, will I attend?

Does Obama have fleas?

[GraceG]

The Rodeo clowns should come up with a bit where they lampoon sensitivity training.....

[tcrlaf]

Yes, because you are ONLY allowed to mock REPUBLICANS now. Just ask anyone in the mainstream media about this.

[From The Deer Stand]

Tell the Missouri State Fair to take a hike.... in a bull ring without a clown.

[GraceG]

Sensitivity Training IS A PC TERM FOR RE-EDUCATION CAMP!!!!

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

[wmileo]

Do you think the same would have happened if they made fun of GWB?

OBAMA!!! The Affirmative Action Figurine

[SpinnerWebb]

Taught by the Kung Pao Buckaroos, no doubt

Someone want to make a lot of money? Do what you say: take a load of 0 masks on consignment. You may have to pay a bond.
Knowing rodeo fans—excepting Tim McGraw!—you’re sold out before the show starts, and wishing you had more.

This is beyond silly. It is purest exploitation by the left. I am torn between a boycott the rodeo to shut it down and asking 10,000 fans to show up in Obozo masks.

Love to see the whole audience wearing one. It’s fun to mock Dear Leader.

I am hopeful this will produce a beneficial effect in the SFCC = the State Fair Clown Community. This is will be a plus when this group, later, wishes to join up with the SFFWOC = State Fair Ferris Wheel Operator Community. This is where Community Organizers really show their worth.

I would ask the instructor if his ass was sensitive because I am about to put my foot up it.

[joshua c]

I guess I need to stay after for the anger management class.

A five-minute Google search will reveal many examples of the following:

1. George Bush portrayed as a monkey or chimp.
2. George Bush being portrayed as a clown or as Bozo.
3. George Bush being hung in effigy.
4. George Bush being burned in effigy.
5. George Bush being dismembered or decapitated.
6. George Bush being portrayed nude.
7. George Bush portrayed in chains or jail garb.

I do not remember any MSM disapproval of ANY of these things, ever. During the Bush years, I personally saw a vendor at a major City of Seattle festival selling t-shirts depicting Bush being shot in the head. Also during the Bush years, a Seattle parade featured a truck carrying effigies of Bush and Cheney, followed by a cart carrying rotten fruit which spectators were encouraged to throw at the effigies. Again, none of this generated any media criticism.

sounds like the liberal establishment beginning with the oval office need some sensitivity training.

[Rusty0604]

I hate the word “sensitive” these days.

[Rusty0604]

I’d go with the latter. Go further, let’s have a national O mask day! Will they throw us all in FEMA camps? But then who is going to work and pay taxes?
(if I never post again, you’ll know what happened)

[Frapster]

I made a point of this to a liberal and their response? But in any of those instances did someone play with his lips? Apparently there are no no areas on these kinds of masks where O is concerned.

So how does one contact the Missouri State Fair?
