Obama Costume at Kentucky Medical Center Spurs Debate
Fox17 Nashville ^ | 10/31/13

HOPKINSVILLE, KY.--A picture of a Jennie Stuart Medical Center employee wearing a President Barack Obama mask and straitjacket at the hospital's annual costume party has stirred debate.

Along with the costume (pictured above), a skit called "VIP Special Delivery" was performed, winning the group third place in the costume contest.

As a result, all 750 employees have now been required to take diversity training. The VP of Human Resources at the medical center issued a statement to staff apologizing for anyone who was offended and personally took responsibility since the incident occurred on his watch.

He asked that employees refrain from political, religious, ethic and gender based costumes at other functions.

Video at link. So a "Revrun" finds 0bama masks offensive? Talk about Christian zealots imposing their morality on others! Maybe the Rev should be more concerned with preaching to his congregation about the immorality of acting like a bunch of "gibmedats". But if he did that, the scumbag-in-chief might have the IRS "review" his tax-exempt status. Like so many other PC hypocrites surely he had no problem with Bush43(or for that matter Bush41) masks.

In other words, no costumes.

He just needs Pelosi and Reid in straight jackets next to him, but the black panther thugs will work too.

It would be fitting if NO ONE took part in next years “festivities”. If Kanye West does a Jesus “act” it’s called artistic. Double standards for the rblack racists.

The two guys on each side of Obama in the straightjacket look similar to the New Black Panther thugs at that polling station threatening all the Whitey McCracker-Honkeys who wanted to vote.

Looks like a chimp mask, probably better suited to manchelle.

“...refrain from political, religious, ethic and gender based costumes...”

So what are some examples of what's left?

Even the Wolfman 1941 film dealt heavily with religion. I guess the Creature from the Black Lagoon would be offensive to ethnic gill men or maybe Brazilians. The Bride of Frankenstein is too “gender based”. Captain America is too political with that flag-based costume. Dressing as a gypsy dancer is as ethnic as one can get and...

Now that will fill some seats!

Must be that the Reeducation Camp reverends need to fill their pews lest funding be cut off.

What’s that supposed to mean? Private parties?

When you cannot make jokes about the dictator, you know you are living in a dictatorship.

I thought blasphemy has been outlawed in the US.

I recommend stoning this individual as an example for others that want to insult the profit.
