Democrats SUCK!!

Here's an example right here of exactly what we're talking about:

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A clown wearing a President Barack Obama mask appeared at a Missouri State Fair rodeo this weekend and the announcer asked the enthusiastic spectators if they wanted to see "Obama run down by a bull."

The antics led the state's second highest-ranking official, Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, to denounce the performance in a tweet Sunday. He said it was "disrespectful" to the president.

"We are better than this," the Republican tweeted.

State Fair officials said the show in Sedalia was "inappropriate" and "does not reflect the opinions or standards" of the fair. "We strive to be a family friendly event and regret that Saturday's rodeo badly missed that mark," they said in a statement Sunday.

It wasn't clear if any action will be taken against the performers.

Perry Beam, who was among the spectators, said "everybody screamed" and "just went wild" as the announcer talked about having the bull run down the clown with the Obama mask.

"It was at that point I began to feel a sense of fear. It was that level of enthusiasm," Beam, a 48-year-old musician from Higginsville, said Sunday, referring to the reaction from the crowd that filled the fair's grandstand.

He said another clown ran up to the one wearing the Obama mask, pretended to tickle him and played with the lips on the mask. About 15 minutes into the performance, the masked clown had to leave after a bull got too close, Beam said.

Beam was at the rodeo with his wife and a student they were hosting from Taiwan. He said they were having a good time until the end of the rodeo.

"It was the usual until the very end at bull riding," he said. "As they were bringing the bulls into the chute and prepping them ... they bring out what looks like a dummy. The announcer says 'Here's our Obama dummy, or our dummy of Obama.

"They mentioned the president's name, I don't know, 100 times. It was sickening," Beam said. "It was feeling like some kind of Klan rally you'd see on TV."

Officials with the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, the organization that coordinated the rodeo, did not return phone calls seeking comment Sunday.

After Beam and his family returned home, he posted a photo of the clown in the Obama mask on his Facebook page. The photo and the posting were then promoted online by a blog, Showmeprogress.com, which elicited a huge response Sunday on Twitter.

Scott Holste, spokesman for Missouri's Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon, said Sunday in an email that Nixon "agrees that the performance was disrespectful and offensive, and does not reflect the values of Missourians or the State Fair."

Beam, who grew up attending the State Fair and attends the fair just about every year, said he has never seen anything like the Obama mask display, which he felt was inappropriate for a state-sanctioned event that receives state funding.

"This isn't the Republican Missouri State Fair," Beam said. "It was cruel. It was disturbing. I'm still sick to my stomach over it. ... I'm standing here with a mixed-race family. My wife's from Taiwan, and so was the student (his family was hosting). I've never seen anything so blatantly racist in my life.

"If an old country boy picks up on something like that, imagine what a person of color would think."

So what a lot worse was done to Bush and that does not indicate racism....Obama is black.  Should the mask have been white for his white half?  Your argument is weak...very weak.  Inferring Obama is a clown means nothing other than some people think of him as a clown.  Had that been a person doing the same thing with a Palin, Bush, Clarence Thomas, or a Herman Cain mask during the primary's they would have thought it was funny.

This whole racial thing is nothing but smoke and mirrors by those who do not want to admit that Obama was a bad pick.

Bullshit.

I'm sure in your mind that sounds true.

Echoes usually do sound true. And in an empty skull, I imagine the echoes are particularly strong.

  Bush was the disease and to cure it was you could only die.  Or die in one of his two wars which has killed over 4,500, four thousand five hundred young men and women in his two wars.     As I have said many times Skippy, you don't know shit if you were in a Republican swimming pool full of it.

Who said that?

Who said that?

Just point out, I didn't hear anyone of you guys complaining that it was wrong when THIS was going on.

At least many republicans of that state ARE speaking out against it, and NOT condoning it.

There are creeps in this world.   ON Both sides.

Republican Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder weighed in in a series of Twitter posts. Kinder said he loved the fair and planned to attend, but said the clown's performance reflected poorly on the state.

"The (fair) celebrates Missouri and our people," Kinder tweeted. "I condemn the actions disrespectful to (the president of the United States) the other night. We are better than this."

Republican Rep. Caleb Rowden of Columbia tweeted, "I don't agree w/this Prez on many things. But he is deserving of respect and shouldn't be the object of political stunts. Out of line!"


If the clown was dressed as Bush or even Jesus........it would have been hiliarious to most liberals.

Two hardly lives up to your claim on "MANY."

Lt Gov is the voice of many......

I'll concede that if you concede that Obama is the voice of the majority of Americans.

Well, according to Gallup....that is NO longer true...and Obama is near an All-time LOW with his approval rating....41%.
