Rodeo clown draws criticism for Obama mask

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A clown wearing a President 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 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 was among the spectators Saturday in Sedalia. He 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. After 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 e-mail 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.

...which he felt was inappropriate for a state-sanctioned event that receives state funding.


Needless to say, though I'm sure our resident Missouri "libertarian" will be in here offering excuses.

The surprising thing is that anyone can still be surprised by these sick, sad people.
 
THE Missourah State Fair is held in Sedalia.




If it would have been Bush, you guys would have been cackling over the cool shoe-throwing games that came out in the immediate aftermath.

Quite frankly, it is about time you experienced that which you dished out now that it is your guy. Suddenly, it is not as funny any more...



Now, it has to be hate and RACISM. :rolleyes:

You pegged it. The glibertarian came in full "but...but...Bush!" mode this morning.
 
I'm sorta surprised. I've been to a couple rodeos and stuff like this just didn't happen. Always geared towards kids and family and never political at all. Of course I've never been to a rodeo in Missouri.
 
this was cool

Kansas City is a Democrat stronghold...


Clowns are the heroes of the rodeo because they put themselves on the line to protect the fallen riders. The Dems should be happy that their hero was there doing clown stuff.

Missouri is cool, some of the best 1911's on the planet are made there. :cool:
 
Rodeo clown draws criticism for Obama mask.........STFU, thin skinned clowns

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

It wasn't. That's really the point. I agree that Bush had his share of detractors and even idiots who say Iraq was "just about oil", but did anything of this magnitude happen with Bush's image? I can't remember such an incident.

There was some pretty bad shit aimed at Bush. Some of it worse than what I've seen against Obama. However there was of course no racism involved like there is now. When you mix the two it becomes much worse.

(State Rep. Jake) Hummel and other House Democrats are calling on House Speaker Tim Jones to call an interim committee to investigate the situation and hold someone accountable. Hummel says the fair received $400,000 in taxpayer funds for this year’s events, and asks whether that funding should be withheld if such political stunts are allowed there. He says the Department of Agriculture is the lead agency that oversees the fair, and believes that’s where the questioning should begin.
