NAACP state head: Missouri rodeo clown committed a ‘hate crime’ by wearing Obama mask
The Daily Caller ^ | August 16, 2013 | Katie McHugh

President of the Missouri chapter of the NAACP Mary Ratliff claimed in a radio interview Thursday that the Obama mask-donning rodeo clown committed a hate crime, CBS St. Louis reports.

“I think that a hate crime occurred,” Mary Ratliff said to KXNT Radio. “I think a hate crime occurs when you use a person’s race to depict who they are and to make degrading comments, gestures, et cetera, against them.”

Ratliff’s definition stands in stark contrast to the actual federal hate crimes statue, which would require rodeo clown Tuffy Gessling to “willfully cause bodily injury” to President Barack Obama with “fire, a firearm, a dangerous weapon, or an explosive or incendiary device.”

Ratliff did not indicate if Gessling had attempted to attack the president with fire or other weaponry, but did say the Secret Service should investigate the matter nonetheless.

“When taxpayer money is utilized to discredit and be disrespectful to our president, whether he be black, white, Hispanic, Latina … it is an outrage,” she continued.

Ratliff said she believes the “mean” rodeo act requires that the Department of Justice dedicate more taxpayer dollars into investigating Gessling’s feelings about Obama.....

Wearing a mask is a “hate crime”? ROTFL! What a retard. Looks like it won’t be long before the advanced “colored people” have Halloween declared a “hate crime” in this country.

"NAACP state head: Missouri rodeo clown committed a ‘hate crime’ by wearing Obama mask"

If so, than I'd assume the that the appearance of obama's likeness at any event celebrating American culture might be considered a "hate crime."

I would hate to suggest it....but there will be comments and signs over the remaining three years....with the “rodeo-clown” symbol used for this President. Someone will eventually make up a country-and-western tune....entitled: rodeo-clown.

Keep pushing, you racist azzes, and you’ll get the race war you so clearly want. But that fire will burn EVERYONE, including you.

“And you can bet when they do they will be in the middle of a crowd, egging them on, but far enough away from the fray to be safe.”

They may think so in their delusion (liberalism IS a mental disorder), but they’ll be wrong. The flames they are fanning for personal gain will leave few unscathed.

What an ignoramus.

Maybe what someone needs to do is come out with a
mask of Obama that’s white, then it wouldn’t be
about “race”.

I agree. You make great points but I must admit the idea of rewarding them with a set aside hunting season would be delightful as well. :) Evil people.

.... The web has pretty much been scrubbed of this SNL clip. However I did find one that Obamabots missed. It's rather low quality but it is proof that Barack Obama himself is a racist!!! Well ... that is if you follow the current narrative that the rodeo clown wearing an Obama mask is a flaming racist .... then you must also conclude that Obama himself must also be racist because he himself wore an Obama mask!!!

I think that’s the perfect way to mock Obama.

I also don’t quite get it: are the Blacks really that stupid?

Unless they’re really sure the whole martial law thing is going to save them after they push their juvenile outrage one too many times, they gotta understand that they’d probably only survive about five days in the race war they’re agitating for, and that’s if only the Hispanics or only the Asians mobilize. If the Whites get off their couches I’d only give them about 36 hours before they become a really minor minority. Do they really want to push these tantrums a whole lot further? Nobody’s buying it, and my general sense is that patience is wearing thin out there.

YES they are that stupid, but never fear, white people are equally stupid.

People never realize that hell gets out of hand!

Hell is averted by letting heaven back in.

Heaven is welcomed by ceasing from saying no to it. Heaven is eager to come in. It’s we humans who are saying no by doing the do-si-do with the devil. If we change the partner we swing to God, then marvelous things will happen again.
