Obama-mask clown gets lifetime Missouri fair ban. Just, or too harsh?

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.

THIS president has skin as thin as an onion and everything is supposed to revolve around him. Most of the other president’s knew ridicule came with the territory, while this one is a pansy butt.

...”The “sick” truth that drives such an uproar; is however; the typical “Liberal contempt for truth” - and as well; Lib racism.”.....

Exactly....and truth is ONLY truth when they determine it so.

If the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association had any balls they would refuse to run the Rodeo any longer.

Tell them to shove it.

Are you saying that the “O” looking cowboy was just a scarecrow? If that is true, who did they fire? The poor sap that set it up? or a made up person?

The video didn’t look like a scarecrow to me. The guy in the mask was running around.

Great idea. Perhaps too ; the fans could just do not return until some 'sanity' takes hold. Do think there are enough 'grown-ups' in MO. Just need more who are in charge of this rodeo.

OTOH; the Lib crazies taste gluten-free Bear in their mouths and they will not quit - until post Election - per the public hate crime against the 'One' - that occurred in their midst. Would offer that every one who had a ticket that night; watch your back and your computers.

Lightening is the answer. And frankly; do not know how these people escape the cosmic wrath they so deserve.

Just saw the video, the “person” with the Obama mask is not a person. The “clown” that is at the top of this thread doesn’t move, plus it has a broom up its behind. I wondered why the clown had a broom up his keester. There is a clown running around, but he doesn’t look like he-who-is-full-of-himself, ie no 0 mask.

lol! My favorite movie of all time. I first saw it in the theater when it came out and must have watched it 1000 times since. “Why don’t you put herrr in charge!” “Nuke em from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure!” “I-firmative!”

I suppose times like these allow the goats to self identify for culling.

Birria anyone?

How about the guy stars in a new reality show about rodeo clowns, or maybe a guest appearance on Nitro Circus....

That is exactly what I am saying, and at this point it remains unclear who was fired.
The majority of reports say it was the fellow wearing the mask, which was a scarecrow.

Don’t tell to many folks.
They might be outraged even further! LOL
