Rodeo clowns
I am, perhaps, a rare breed. A "progressive" Dem who is a rural, trail ridin' cowgirl, who from time to time enjoys attending rodeos around this rural Western community where I live.
To my horrror, it is not uncommon at these rodeos (unless they are sponsored by American Indian communities....) to lash out at our Democratic President. It is extremely uncomfortable to hear some of the venom directed at Pres Obama. While everyone around me hoorays, I slink into my seat and do what little I can - safely - to retreat or object from the display.
So, I was not at all surprised to read of this recent incident of the rodeo clown wearing an Obama mask and asking if the crowd wants to see Obama run over by a bull. I imagine worse things were included in the show.
I think this is something we on the left should be aware of. Perhaps we want to infiltrate in groups, safety in numbers, and show our support for our President at some of these rodeos!

The DUmmies claimed for 8 years that dissent was patriotic, and all the horrible nasty things they said about Bush was protected speech. Now all of a sudden they get all butthurt over their preezy getting mocked.
That's the difference between us and them, they mock our president we laugh at them, we mock their preezy and they want to string us up.

1. Have hope. I hang out sometimes in this little honky-tonk bar...
...and I see the same thing. The only consolation I have is the probability that most of those "clowns" probably haven"t voted in decades. Maybe ever. The realization does comfort me.

2. Just pass a law making it a felony to criticize the President.
A lot of other countries have laws restricting criticizing or shaming the government and its leaders. After all, if you show disrespect to an elected leader you show disrespect to the entire government and the nation, and that can't be tolerated in a free people.
Two such countries that spring to mind are Venezuela and Russia.
It's one thing to be racist. It's another to mock a sitting president. My own personal values say it's wrong to disrespect people in such a way, for example calling the President a chimp; however, the Constitution says otherwise so I limit enforcing my personal values to my person.
Has to be a mole. :-)

12. I don't get why all these rural cowboys support making Wall Street richer.
The GOP is clearly the party who's main goal is to make the super rich richer.
I've never understood why salt of the earth kind of people want to give more of their money to the rich.
:rotf:
That post reminds me of the all the money belongs to the government thread.
How in the hell is it that if some fat cat on Wall Street gets rich that it is taking money from anyone else? The only rich people we are giving money to are the politicians and the people they bribe with that money.

They sure did and here is a link to prove it.
10 images mocking George W. Bush that were far worse than a harmless rodeo clown

Note: These were not just fringe pieces. Some appeared in art galleries and at major film festivals. Left-wing assassination chic means never having to say you’re sorry.
Message to the rodeo-phobes: Lighten up, buttercups.

A rodeo and a redneck "honky tonk" bar. What do those two things have in common? Oh yeah, hard working people like both of them. No wonder they criticize the Golfer in Chief.

"TRUTH TO POWER" baby
Also, if you heard the presidents comments this AM about the riots in Egypt, it is supposidly wrong to stomp down dissent there, but banning a clown in this country is fine.

So, some people in America are upset because a couple of rodeo clowns made fun of the clowns running this rodeo we call America.

If I had a son and he was a rodeo clown, he would look like obama.
-
Oh, hell, kiddo. Rodeo clowns make fun of every president. They'll also poke fun at an area's county commissioners, a long time rancher, ranchers and cowboys in general, rodeo riders, buckle bunnies, town people, dogs, kids, etc.
And Indian rodeos? Take all of the above and add Indians and wasichu to it.
Breathe, puppy, breathe.

Apparently DUmmie mike has not compared the unemployment numbers during the Bush Administration when Republicans controlled congress to the Bama's unemployment numbers.

Hell, Mr. Mannn, most of them can't dish it out, either!
Not without a federal program to subsidize them for it! :lmao:

I learned only left wingers have free speech...............all others are branded, racist criminals.

Same reason they can't stand us over here making fun of them. Next time you see a thread from over there talking about how we "obsess" over them and we must not have a life, that's just code for them pouting, stomping their feet and saying "They're making fun of us and that's not fair!! Boo Hoo Hoo!!"

Excellent side by side.
Peggy Noonan had a great article about how owebuma should have handled this. But of course, his fecal touch prevails.

Missouri Fair Rodeo Clown, Tuffy Gessling, Arrested For “Hate Crimes”
http://nationalreport.net/missouri-fair-rodeo-clown-arrested-for-hate-crimes/#sthash.2GYcI8Fi.dpuf
Late Thursday evening, federal agents arrested Tuffy Gessling, the rodeo clown that donned an Obama mask at the Missouri State Fair, for committing a hate crime. Tuffy has been moved to an unnamed detention center for further questioning, possibly regarding terroristic intentions.
The National Report spoke briefly with Mr. Gessling’s attorney, Reid Nosse who had this to say:
“My client is suffering severe mental stress from this incident. He’s broken. From this point on, he will be nothing but a sad clown: a smile painted on the outside, but actually crying on the inside. He will never again wear his squeaky red nose with pride. He was simply exercising his right to free speech”.
A spokesperson for President Obama declined to comment on the situation.
Effing unbelievable.

Thank goodness, that has not been verified by anyone, so I think it was a post for clicks, or to stir the pot further. Notice he didn't even supply a source?

For somebody to be arrested for a 'hate crime', shouldn't they actually have to COMMIT A CRIME FIRST?!?! :thatsright: :whatever:

Sorry guys, I got sucker into the story, I thought it was real.

I've seen rodeo clowns don any number of masks for the same skit. It's common to use whatever mask is easy to purchase. According to a retired clown that called in to Sean Hannity's show, EVERY president he's seen in office has been featured in this skit, and others. Anyone attending a lot of rodeos has surely seen that before. Including cilla4progress. If she's been to a dozen rodeos, she's seen something like this in every one.

Uh Oh! A black rodeo clown wears a Hillary mask!
