…if it were Boooosh
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.”
…”everybody screamed” and “just went wild” as the announcer talked about having the bull run down the clown with the Obama mask….
Hell yeah! Who wouldn’t??!?!
NB: a] This is a rodeo clown; a profession I respect.
2] This is a rodeo clown. m’kay?
But wait…
“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.
Yep. Lotta …enthusiasm for seeing Obobo run over like he’s running over the Constitution and We The People. Goose :: Gander
Kinda says something, don’t it?
Is this a surprise?
Neither is this:
[Beam] posted a photo of the clown in the Obama mask on his Facebook page [where it was picked up by "ShowmeprogressDOTcom" ]
…”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 [exchange] student…. I’ve never seen anything so blatantly racist in my life.
…”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.”
Yeah — I watched a Klan Rally on TV just the other day. They happen weekly, I think, and are all over ABCBSCNN; but never FOX.
So I guess all the Booosh/Klinton/Reagan etc masks spoofing every other POTUSevar were raaaacist, too?
Or, just maybe, there’s this idea that, because he’s sorta half-black [making him completely black by the same standard that produced the words mulatto and octaroon] there is no way to portray the current POTUS in a satirical way that is even the least bit acceptable.
No matter what his policies, his actions — illegal or not — or his disrespect and clownish contempt for We The People.
