Missouri State Fair officials have banned for life the rodeo clown who wore a President Obama mask while facing bulls at the event over the weekend.
The clown in question engaged in an “unconscionable stunt” and will never perform at the Show Me state venue again, the Missouri State Fair Commission said Monday, in a statement. Fair officials are also reviewing their contract with the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, the contractor responsible for hiring and overseeing bull ring clowns.
The performance was “inappropriate and not in keeping with the Fair’s standards," said the statement.
The fair did not reveal the clown’s identity.
During a bull riding contest on Sunday, the clown appeared wearing a rubber mask of the president with an upside down broomstick trailing from his backside, as if it were a tail. The audience was asked, over a public address system, if it wanted to see Mr. Obama “run down by a bull.” Many people present clapped and cheered, according to one witness, Perry Beam.
“It was feeling like some kind of Klan rally,” said Mr. Beam.

Come on, people! Where are the entrepreneurs? What an opportunity for some enterprising promoter to put together the “OBAMA CLOWN POSSE RODEO” show, where ALL the clowns look like Obama! Put this show together and you would back the house anywhere in the middle part of the country you would take it, and much of the south and west as well.
Step right up!
Ok freeper lawyers, if this is the “State” fair, I assume the commission is paid by the government, how is this ban not a first amendment violation? I could see if they had tons of complaints he wasn’t good at his job, but it sounds like the crowd approved.
I hope half the crowd brings Obama masks
We are country under seige...divided down the middle.
And when the traitorous leader of that component which is trying to overthrow the country has taken charge of the White House, it is to be expected that he and his minions would try to silence the loyal half from voicing any complaints about himself and/or his traitorous movement.
And as an aside to the NSA--who is certainly listening in--Eff You @ssholes!
Somebody get Perry a crown because he’s a drama queen.
I can’t get anyone here to understand that the unnamed cowboy was a straw dummy.
Let the libs think they got justice.
The rodeo just dooped them.
Gutless.
It would be fitting to call for a National Obama Clown Face day in honor of all the clowns in Washington that are running this nation off the economic and moral cliff. If an Obama clown mask bothers Libs this much it needs to be exploited to the full. Anyone else remember a TV show called “That’s my Bush!” in 2001 that mocked President Bush? Libs will always accused the right of doing what it does far more effectively.
Missouri State UNFAIR Commission!
That explains it all.
Still too many leftists in the Show Me State. Time for a real election purge of these idiots.
The Missouri Rodeo Cowboys Association should refuse to perform anywhere in Missouri unless the banned “clown” is reinstated with full performance rights.
You don’t want to face angry rodeo fans, do you, you leftist cowards? And you thought the bulls were mean.
I’m sure the ACLU will step up to protect his right of free speech.

Cowards.
“Republicans joined in not wanting to be called racists.”

I have no clue as to what is racist about it. It could have been a mask of ANY POTUS.
Leave them alone.
They just snookered the libs.
Sigh... what’s the use?
Simple solution to all this. Don’t visit MO, don’t go to their fair, try not to do business with anyone in the state. We want the guy who runs the fair who insisted on the termination of the clown FIRED.
The sick truth that drives such an uproar; is however; the typical Liberal contempt for truth - and as well; Lib racism. These people are truly fools; albeit; we cannot doubt their 'promise' nor the threat they pose; because we know; all too well; their curse.
Let’s go to where Obama chooses to vacation, Martha’s Vineyard, and ask all the Americans who are black that live there what they think of this.
