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.....

The fickle public has a short memory and I can find no photos of it, but I recall some spoof where a dobe latches onto Tricky Dick.

Much Hilarity ensued, no Outrage.

Was it SNL? National Lampoon?
No one ever used to make fun of presidents... hardly never.

Most of the racism I see these days is coming from the Lieberals, the NAACP, and Holder's People.

Have I missed something?

Fully awake, buddy.

95% of the Blacks voted twice for Obama. There are, perhaps, 5% outliers who think clearly. I’m glad for their sake that they do, but their presence only matters in the comfort of our online chats - it doesn’t matter when I choose what neighborhoods are safe to travel in, and it certainly won’t matter a wit when the 95% push this into the primitive mayhem of a race war.

To quote the character Dr. Ellis Cheever in the movie Contagion, “Someone doesn’t have to weaponize the bird flu. The birds are doing that …”

Well, you no longer have to parody these people who take great umbrage at the rodeo clown “disrespecting“ Obama. They do it themselves.

They’ve “weaponized” umbrage.
