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.....

Hey, I’m high on the Holy Spirit. Yeah you’ll think I’m crazy and I don’t mind. God has made me sane.

By the way you know yourself... see your tag... where “primitive spirits” (evil) lead. I just followed the light UPWARD.

Martial law? The active, reserve and national guard military
are also majority white. When you delve into combat arms units it gets even more Caucasian. TSA, no matter how much ammo they’ve got, are not a military or even paramilitary force. All the police and SWAT teams in the country would last maybe 2 days if the SHTF in any serious way. Who will enforce this hypothetical martial law?

Well, it was actually not I who followed the light. That doesn’t give the credit due to God. I essentially prayed to the Lord to be glorified in an area of very difficult sin. The Lord answered and gave me not only victory over that very difficult sin but He gave me the view from heaven! Talk about a holy yeehaw! I now realize that the victory was achieved by filling me with His light, which He is pressing on a world that still doesn’t want it... I was a rare exception in that I begged hard for it and in the right way. But He is busy setting the world up to teach it yet another lesson on letting the light in.

“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.”

This is a fair description of every image of Zero on the Internet.

Are they all hate crimes? This guy is too dumb to breathe.

What happened to “imitation is the greatest form of flattery”? A clown imitating another, bigger clown POTUS.

This ap-cray will result in hesitation to have another liberal/lefty black as president anytime soon - BHO and handlers are so stupid. But, why should they care??

Why would we willingly go thru this nonsense again, in our life-time??!
We’d better not forget - surely we won’t - - ?

Oops I forgot - Obamalong ‘won’ by fraud. . .

A rodeo clown wearing a mask of a high profile person because of just that. He chose a mask of someone highly recognizable and current - color be dam_ed.
I’ve not heard it suggested, but if the clown also happens to detest the prez and chose to mock him, SO WHAT??? He should have ordered the mask in milky-white???

The resultant treatment of this rodeo clown is scandalous.
A GENuine scandal at that . .

A Halloween mask is a hate crime? WTF, anyway? Are these people nuts? (as if I need to ask!)

Exactly. I immediately wondered - if that mask had been bleached into a ‘William Shatner/Michael Myers” white - would they still be so indignant? Seriously.... would they be?

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

You're not helping with comments like that. We Freepers are blessed to have black conservative brothers and sisters fighting along with us non-black conservatives. "Blacks are NOT that stupid". Wake the hell up.

As I said, hate crime laws were made to put Whites in jail for everything they say or do, or don’t say or don’t do, and to set free non-Whites who attack them physically.

“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.”

In that case, nearly ALL rap music videos with black performers are hate crimes. Same for all the "gangsta" movies.

degrading comments, gestures, et cetera,
