Obama-mask clown gets lifetime Missouri fair ban. Just, or too harsh?[W:395]

I watched the raw video, and here is my take on this:

The truth in this matter is nuanced, with nothing really black and white.

1) I don't see a problem with a rodeo clown dressed as Obama. Hell, people were burning effigies of Bush when he was in office, and one of my favorite sites at the time was called Bush or Chimp, in which monkeys were compared to the president. The facial expressions were funny as hell. This goes under freedom of speech. So far, no big deal.

2) However, whether intended or not, racism did play into this, especially when the other rodeo clowns were bobbling the lips of the Obama clown. At a couple of times, it seemed that this was degenerating into a Klan rally. This is not good. But were the bits of racism here intended by the rodeo clown who wore the Obama mask? No. I do not believe that is the case at all.

3) As a result, the clown is now suspended for something that got out of hand, and that was not really his fault. Yes, a couple of racists ruined his act for him, by playing with the lips, and doing things that were definitely racist in nature.

4) However, as the State Fair sees it, however this turned out was inappropriate enough for them to make the decision to ban the Obama clown. Is this fair? I'd say probably not, but that was their decision, like it or not.

5) There were no demands from the White House in this, so I have no idea why some are blaming this all on Obama, except that maybe it's just because they hate him for whatever reason. I mean, come on. A rodeo clown is banned by the State of Missouri, and all of a sudden it is the fault of the Messiah or The One? LMAO. If you have a real issue with the banning, take it up with the State Fair. Jeez!!

6) As for the comments about a vast Obama conspiracy, and comments about FEMA camps, someone needs to drink a little less coffee. LOL.

7) Want to attack Obama on something real, like spying on Americans, using drone strikes on American citizens without due process, and stuff like that? Do THAT and I will happily join you, beause I strongly feel that Obama should be impeached over these issues. But silly season on Obama needs to end, because those who declared silly season on him are the only ones looking silly here.
 
Its OK...there has been an apology made...

"I can’t imagine why anyone would get too worked about any of that. Like you said, that stuff didn’t happen. Or it did, but it’s not a big deal. Or it’s not a big deal because it didn’t. I can’t remember, I just know that you treat anyone who raises any of these concerns with utter contempt and disregard, which clearly proves that they are wrong.

You are still special, and I still love you.

Yours eternally,"

There is no more national sense of humor. What a shame.
 
I love how the tyrants act nonchalant about their tyrannical opinions and ideas....

Of course they have the right to be egotistical about their tyrannical ideas because no one in the US is willing to stand up - point fingers - and call bull**** except libertarians - then were called whackjobs for stating the obvious because the only thing progressives and RINO's have in common is the fact they both hate libertarians because we get in their totalitarian way...

No..... RINO's are too busy apologizing while progressives get away with demonizing for political gain...
 
Aren't we sick of progressive hypocrisy yet? Did the eight years of Bush bashing not happen?

What a bunch of thin skinned pansies these people are.

I love how you throw the word tyrant around so nonchalantly. America isn't even remotely close to a tyrannical country. If it were, you'd be in front of a firing squad by now....as would I for some of my opinions.

Yes - I am a libertarian zombie...

Now go throw rocks or something.... Eat some salad - GO OUTSIDE...
 
Oh yeah I remember you from USPOL ....

Wow....ordering me around....sounds kind of tyrannical to me.

I don't think Libertarians are "Zombies". I have many Libertarian qualities that I embrace. I think American Imperialism throughout the Globe is wrong, I think the "War on Drugs" is a waste of time and money, I think our prisons are full of people who don't need to be there and while they ARE inside, they are learning to become TRUE criminals from the people that actually NEED to be there.

I just can't in good conscience, throw people in need under the bus and hope that "charity" will take care of them.....I can't in good conscience, think that a fair day's pay for a fair day's work is anything less than what it costs to live in this expensive country. Ditch diggers and janitors need to raise families as much as professionals.
 
Wouldn't surprise me at all of this clown (to be clear, not the one in the White House) gets all kinds of offers to perform around the country as a result of the totally asinine overreach of liberals in attacking him. To be fair, I don't think Obama, or anyone close to him, had anything to do with it, but knowing how thin-skinned this President is and how much he abhors any humor at his expense, I'm sure he's pleased.

I don't know what the hell you're doing here.... It took you 2 years to get banned? (at least because I have been gone for 2, also it shows how tolerant that **** fiasco USPOL is.)..

Now you respect libertarians? I suppose you aged a couple years?

By USPOL....do you mean USMB? That's where I know you from. Furthermore....I've never been banned from a MB. You.must have me confused with someone else.
