The rodeo clown speaks.



"I didn't do this to do any hating on anyone. I did it to be funny. I did it to be a joke."
This bit, this clown bit has been around for generations. And I didn't think anything more of it than what we've done 15 years ago, 10 years ago, five years ago, when we've done it with Bush and Clinton and Ronald Reagan.

I actually think that a lot of people have lost their ability to laugh. Look at the country as a whole. There's a lot more to be mad at than a rodeo clown at a rodeo trying to make somebody laugh.

This is pure Alinsky. Ridicule is a potent weapon and it must be suppressed wherever is shows itself. Nobody defaces Dear Leader's portrait! Clown had to learn that the hard way.

The It's Racist cry is the last refuge of a scoundrel who can't otherwise defend someone.

The cry of racism would never be made if the object of ridicule was a white President. Now that the President is black, ridicule is off limits?

Free Speech for everyone.

If you're a democrat and all you believe in is wrong and your leaders are charlatans, it might make it difficult to laugh at anything with anger and self-loathing so close to the surface causing you to lash out irrationally.

I think I know the hot costume at Halloween this year. The Obama Rodeo Clown. The costume makers would sell tens of thousands of those if they are smart emough to make them.

Obama is certainly humorless, like many of his humorless scold supporters. Bush would have laughed this off, as would most of his supporters, and it would never have received the attention this clown got.

Thin skins can't take a joke, stay with BusHitler who makes Obama do things Obama doesn't want to do.

For instance, BusHitler allowed Saddam to relocate his WMD from Iraq to Syria, Obama has to make another "gutsy call" to bomb Syria to take them out. Doesn't that remind us of his first "gutsy call" to take out Osama whom BusHitler allowed to live in a secluded palace in Pakistan?

It's amazing how gutsy our Dearest Dear Leader is. All his courage resides in his guts not on his skins.

People have no sense of humor anymore. But, when it comes to the president, he is treated like a religious icon. No one dares disagree, mock, or disparage him without being accused of racism.

I especially like the tinfoil hat loons who demanded the Secret Service and Justice Department investigate.

Obama is Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Nixon... He can be mocked and there should be no outrage.

We are all rodeo clowns now.

Its tough to be one of the little people when you inadvertently get in the way of a thundering herd of politicians and hustlers with their own agendas.

This poor guy is just the latest Nakoulah Nakoulah. Good thing that he doesn't have any outstanding warrants or parole violations.

I would like to see all the clowns at that next rodeo (hell, for that matter all the rodeos in the upcoming week) wearing the Obama mask to support this guy.

The only way to stop this PC insanity is to keep on doing it so they realize free speech is free speech, and that Obama is no better than any other past president.

That persecuted rodeo clown is more well-spoken than most politicians.

Poor guy.

The "Obama is a black President card that white men have to bow down or be racists" is playing faster and faster as Obama destroys more and more of the USA's strength in economic power and in world alliances.

So current events is requiring that distraction dog whistle blown for the brain dead 1960s radicals to be a common news event .

William said...

Even if it's just for political show, Obama should make a conciliatory gesture. This was overplayed. This wasn't meant as a racial insult. To play it as such doesn't make anyone more tolerant, just more cynical.

Sam L. said...

The lefties have this tight sphincter problem and cannot stand having Obama mocked, because then others will notice the emperor has no clothes.

I think the thing I despise most about today's liberals is the sheer venom they bring to bear - and use the institutions of government and the press to bring to bear - against ordinary Americans.

Hillary Clinton bemoaned what she called "the politics of personal destruction" when her husband was a sitting president. He's a big boy. He can defend himself.

Today's left have no compunctions whatsoever about destroying ordinary Americans. They do anything to destroy them. IT's not enough to destroy their credibility - they want to destroy lives. They deliberately provoke death threats on ordinary Americans and other regular working people to serve their own ends. They do this again and again:

From falsely claiming Monica Lewinsky was a deluded stalker...

To trying to destroy Joe the Plumber...

To publishing George Zimmerman's address so the howling mob of vigilante lynch mobsters could kill him and his wife or force them to flee from their home..

To destroying an ordinary shopkeeper in Switzerland ...

To destroying the livelihood of a simple rodeo clown...

And for good measure, calling on the Justice Department to investigate the guy for a hate crime or whatever.

These mewling little protofascists have no shame and no sense of decency whatsoever.

Now they are using the IRS to destroy people or quash grass roots efforts even before they can come into existence, like King Richard II sending his henchmen to kill children in their cribs.

They are a cancer on the body politic.

Basically, the NAACP and it's liberal and progressive Jewish lackeys in the media are little better than the KKK.
A well organized pack of racists that Hate The Other.
And the more sophisticated puppetmasters who manipulate low information blacks just like their Southern gentry counterparts used to manipulate ill-educated poorer whites for votes.
Divide and rule.

So far, I see no one here stepping up to justify the sanctions against the man. Why is that? Do such people even exist?

One of our local news outfits here in Vegas (the Fox affiliate!) tacked a short account of the rodeo clown's statement near the end of a broadcast (and teased it before going to commercial. And they emphasized that it was an apology. Hours earlier I read the clown's statement and did not find it to be particularly (if at all?!) apologetic. Sad and disgusting that the ninnies at Fox5 would find it necessary to misrepresent his words in that manner.

Illuninati said...

The left/Marxists have changed the language so that the word racist has lost its original meaning. The new meaning of racist is anyone who opposes the left/Marxists and their agenda. There was a time I cared deeply about racism and would have resented the title, but now I don't care if someone calls me racist since their version of racist includes a great many highly moral people I admire.

This recidivist wrecker is standing in the way of the establishment of the People's State and must be subjected to rigorous correction!

Alice Barr is one hot tamale! Why the shots from behind the tree obscuring the right half of the frame? That's clownish videography.

Sofa King said...

Why is that? Do such people even exist?

Yes, they do, and frighteningly they exist mainly in our halls of power.

Indigo Red said...

Of course, he speaks. He's a rodeo clown, not a mime.

cubanbob said...

Now there is another guy who had his job destroyed by Obama.

TMink said...

Racism now means "you cannot criticize any person but a white male so shut up."

That is why they had to make Zimmerman a white Hispanic.
