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.

Well, I think ALL Americans should undergo “sensitivity” training. We are all so insensitive. (Sarcasm)
THis is all such B***$***. Where was the outrage with the George Bush Haolloween Masks???
Is it suddenly more insensitive to mock out black politicians than white politicians?
What the HECK is going ON here???
The people of Missouri should grow a set of testicles and tell the idiots on the Rodeo Commission they aren’t patronizing any more of their events if they go through with this crap!!!!
It sounds like your liberal friend has never heard of a caricature, which is basically what a clown face is. And Bush WAS OFTEN portrayed as a monkey or chimp. A few years ago I got in a HUGE argument with my liberal sister over this, after I had said I thought Obama looked like a chimp (he does). She said that’s different because blacks were historically compared to monkeys, and I said what’s bad for blacks is bad for whites, and she would not agree. And her excuse does not begin to cover the burnings in effigy and mock hangings of Bush.
When I attended the Glenn Beck rally in D.C. a few years ago there were vendors along the sidewalk selling anti-Obama t-shirts. I bought a “NoBama” shirt for $5.
All of the vendors were black guys.
Also tell your friend that - as a matter of biological fact - a large number of blacks DO have large, full lips. Does your liberal friend have something against full lips?
Commiecare™ covers that. First, a little injection...

It isn’t the rodeo clowns that are the real “clowns”, its the fair board people who need the sensivity training. (Damn Liberals)
Dirty clownists! I swear, how many clowns are working at an executive level in this country? Earning executive salaries. Oh sure, though we may call many execs and Congresspeople clowns, this is just a symptom of society’s clown-scorn, a serious denigration of clown culture. Recent studies funded under a $3.8 million grant from the EPA show that for every Ronald McDonald, there are 23 Krusty the Clowns. That’s a shocking statistic! Now is the time. No longer can we abide such disparities!
Just when you think things can’t get any stupider...
‘Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.’
Good for them. I expect they’re doing OK.
Which clown was lifetime banned, Obama or the rodeo clown?
This is just unsustainable.
I think Bammy, boner, reid, Pelosi, et. al. need some serious Constitutional Sensitivity Training.
