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.

We are on down escalator to hell.
Jesus is the answer.
He’ll probably end up with an expense paid vacation to Gitmo.
How many clowns have been banned for wearing a GW Bush, Ronald Reagan, or Richard Nixon mask?
Or for that matter - a Bill Clinton mask?
So what is so different about THIS president to result in such a “lifetime ban”?
Maybe there should be a movement by conservatives to avoid this fair in the future, kind of like that outdoor show at the beginning of the year. This is just way over the top, and ridiculous.
If only he had worn a Bush mask or Clinton all would be well, but thou darest not mock mohamed! Death to the infidel will be cried hither and yon by the race baiters, followed with only White folk may be parodied.
Steve Bridges dared to lampoon Obama, and suddenly died...
...at age 48, of "a severe allergic reaction".
It's nice to have access to everyone's medical records, know their allergies and pre-existing conditions...
A life-time ban can be a very short sentence...
There ought to be a law against mocking the POTUS!
It’s starting to look like a lot of “Show Me” People believe that Barry actually IS a god. A Hawaiian or Indonesian god. It’s sad. Americans have lost their courage. Nothing left now but cowards.
Good grief - a bit of an overreaction I’d say.
“It was feeling like some kind of Klan rally,” said Mr. Beam.
So Mr. Beam, when was the last time you attended a “Klan Rally”?
OMG! How DARE people have a sense of humor!! Arrest all of them IMMEDIATELY!!! /s
"...as if it were a tail."
Is the writer implying 'monkey' here? What a vivid distortion of reality! Nice try, Peter. False depiction made by the race-baiting author. A-HOLE!
This bunch should be able to parley all this publicity into a fortune. I hope they do.
Courage on tap: Go to the everlasting arms and ask for a forgiving hug.
Free speech is dead and its not coming back
Typical of a fascist state. Criticize dear leader and lose everything. He will likely end up dead like Hastings, brietbart and all the rest, poor guy.
My guess is that the idea was donkey, not monkey. But wow what are these complainers, are they witches who decry the blasphemy to broomsticks?
When did US rodeo operators become Communist/Marxist?
That was my thought also; he did seem to have more than a passing familiarity with that, or so he implied.
More like cowardly... this is one thing a gospel loss leaves us with. Will we let this be the end of the story? WELL I PRAY NOT
