Missouri Fair clown draws criticism for Obama mask

[Darnell 8,478]

I see I am not the only one that recognizes she talks in circles and denys ever saying anything after stirring the pot with a boat motor.

Apologies, I not note Judy's posts here at VJ.

If'n yer blathering on about some other person, then yes, I recognize it as well. For that other person, tis a game. A Nice Game, but still a game.

Minus Points on you for writing about it today, instead of months ago.

I haven't seen the movie. You haven't either. Every review I've read says the movie really has nothing to do with GWB himself. Do I think it's in poor taste? Probably. But it doesn't sound like it's in any way glorifying a man's death.

And I guess it is fair to say the rodeo taken in context was not about Obama... so dry the tears.

And I guess it is fair to say the rodeo taken in context was not about Obama... so dry the tears.

Rodeo announcer Mark Ficken, president of the Missouri Cowboy Rodeo Association and a school superintendent, announced a special guest: "President Obama."

Another voice is heard over the loudspeaker working up the crowd and saying, "We're going to stomp Obama now."

As soon as this bull comes out, Obama, don't you move," the second voice said. "He's going to getcha, getcha getcha, getcha."

Kind of hard to say that this isn't about Obama when the guy complaining said he heard Obama's name over 100 times.

Flashback: Liberals Were Silent When George Bush Dummies Were Used at Rodeos Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, August 12, 2013, 6:43 PM

Rodeos have used presidential masks on dummies for decades.

A photo surfaced last year showing clowns taking down a dummy with a Barrack Obama mask at a recent rodeo.

Back in 1994, the cowboys used George Bush dummies at the Woodstown, Pennsylvania rodeo.
For some reason, the liberals didn’t seem to mind this too much.
Philly.com reported:

“The big white gate flew open. The bull came out bucking. The rider flopped from side to side and the bullfighters held back, letting the bull make his moves until the rider dropped off. Licciardello crouched in a heavily padded barrel, a human target should the bull decide to charge. Hawkins waited near the barrel, holding his big inner tube.

A dummy with a George Bush mask stood beside the clown, propped up by a broomstick.

“…

…”.J. Hawkins rolled out the big inner tube, and the bull lowered his head, shot forward and launched into the tube, sending it bounding down the center of the arena. The crowd cheered.

Then the bull saw the George Bush dummy.

He tore into it, sending the rubber mask flying halfway across the sand as he turned toward the fence,

sending cowboys scrambling up the fence rails, hooking one with his horn and tossing him off the fence.”

More… Today the Missouri State Fair imposed a lifetime ban on a rodeo clown whose depiction of President Barack Obama getting charged by a bull was widely criticized by Democratic and Republican officials alike.

Oh wow - that rodeo clown has to move to Texas for work now. Which, of course, is cool, as we have more rodeos than Missouri and the cost of living is a bit cheaper.

You got distracted from the point.

Let me help.

She said the movie wasn't about Bush, suggesting Bush's assassination was a small part of the movie, no big deal.

I point out, in the scheme of a rodeo which lasts several hours, the few second appearance of Obama was also meaningless.

I'm sorry, there's a difference between a dummy with a mask on than a rodeo clown whose whole purpose was to degrade Obama.

On a side note, that was distasteful too.

Talking about a president's failed policies doesn't mean wishing them to be mauled to death, and that goes for both sides.

That movie you're talking about? Wasn't even made here in America, it came from the British. Does that even count?

One thing I love about you peeps (on the Left, not Black)

is your one defense on every issue is -Unless you can find an exact EXACT comparison your attempt to show a pattern is no good.

What tears?

[Peikko 1,575]

What tears?

Who knows? Danno can get very emotional, he's probably projecting.

As for this whole topic, it's completely nonsensical. I have no idea why this is even in the news.
