What a bunch of hypersensitive crybabies.
Don't they remember how they depicted GW? He was depicted as everything from a buffoon, to a Nazi, to a murderer...you name it.
Why is Obama off limits?

The Missouri State Fair has banned the Obama clown forever! George Bush was also been mocked in these fairs ( www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/08/flashback-liberals-were-silent-when-george-bush-dummies-were-used-at-rodeos/ ), but censorship and blacklisting is only used when Obama is lampooned! The Obama Nation on the rise?! news.yahoo.com/mo-state-fair-bans-rodeo-clown-mocked-obama-183933790.html QUOTE: Mo. State Fair bans rodeo clown who mocked ObamaAug. 13, 2013 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri State Fair on Monday 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. The rodeo clown won't be allowed to participate or perform at the fair again. Fair officials say they're also reviewing whether to take any action against the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, the contractor responsible for Saturday's event. The entertainment during the bull riding contest featured a clown wearing a mask of Obama with an upside down broomstick attached to his backside. Spectators were asked if they wanted to see "Obama run down by a bull." Many in the audience responded enthusiastically. Numerous Missouri officials denounced the act after video and photos were posted online. Some Democratic Missouri lawmakers suggested Monday that there should be financial consequences for the fair. The fair said in a written statement announcing the clown's ban that he had engaged in an "unconscionable stunt" that was "inappropriate and not in keeping with the Fair's standards." The fair's press release did not identify the clown. At least one person defended him. David Berry, a Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association member who was at Saturday's event, described the clown as a friend and said there was nothing offensive or unusual about his actions. Berry said the Obama character was meant to look like a dummy and that rodeo clowns have long performed such acts, often imitating sitting presidents. "The joke is not that it was the president," Berry said. "They drag out this person dressed like a dummy and all of the sudden this dummy just takes off running. That's what's funny." But other rodeo professionals said the Missouri fair stunt appeared to go too far. "It's not unheard of for a rodeo clown, depending on how he reads his audience, to play politics a little bit," said Jim Bainbridge, the senior public relations coordinator at the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, based in Colorado Springs, Colo. "But this crossed a line. Clearly, when you're suggesting that the president should be injured, it kind of gets to a level of hostility that is inappropriate." Perry Beam, an attendee who posted a photo of the event on Facebook, has said it had the feeling of Ku Klux Klan rally. He said that, at one point, another clown ran up to the one wearing the Obama mask and played with the lips on the mask. The rodeo's announcer — whom some media initially identified as making the comments about Obama — sought Monday to distance himself from the clown's actions. Announcer Mark Ficken said through an attorney that the clown was wearing a live microphone and had given the announcer no advance notice about the skit. Ficken is president of the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association and also is superintendent of the Boonville School District. "He was as surprised as anyone with the appearance of an Obama-masked rodeo clown," said Ficken's attorney, Albert Watkins of St. Louis. Watkins said Ficken's only comment during the event was to say, "Watch out for that bull Obama!" Watkins said that was meant as a warning for the clown's safety. Fair Marketing Director Tammie Nichols said the rodeo clown was hired by Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association and that fair officials did not know he was going to mock Obama. "We've worked with this company for many, many, many years. We have a longstanding history with them and never had any trouble," Nichols said. The association did not respond to an email request for an interview Monday and had removed the names of its officers from its website. A statement on the site said the association's directors are "dealing with the situation firmly and quickly as this type of behavior will not be tolerated. " Most of the Missouri State Fair's roughly $4.5 million budget comes from fees charged to attendees and vendors, but it receives about $558,000 from tax revenues, according to the state budget office. Missouri House Democrats have suggested the Republican-led chamber should form a special committee to investigate the incident and determine whether to continue providing tax dollars to the fair. State Rep. Steve Webb, chairman of the Missouri Legislative Black Caucus, said Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon should cancel the governor's annual ham breakfast scheduled for Thursday at the fairgrounds. But Nixon spokesman Scott Holste said the governor did not plan to cancel the breakfast because of the "deplorable actions that took place during this one event." __

What a bunch of hypersensitive crybabies. Don't they remember how they depicted GW? He was depicted as everything from a buffoon, to a Nazi, to a murderer...you name it. Why is Obama off limits? Well, I kind of thought those depictions had truth to them but...I'd agree that whatever party won or was voted for, once the election is over, the man is our president for the next several years and should be treated respectfully as such. If we dont give the office itself dignity (as we used to decades ago), then we're just making ourselves look bad by it i think. And there's a time for election campaigning, there's a time for saying nasty things about the opposition to try and enlist support in a hate campaign against him(well, isnt that how its done?) - but I couldn't help but notice that after Obama was voted in (and the republicans had been voted out because of disapproval of them)they IMMEDIATELY started drum-beating about how the Democrats want to make the country Socialist and this is evil and the sky will fall in because of it..and they didnt stop there, they started talking about their candidate for the next election already before Obama had even been sworn in (and...Sarah Palin? !!!!!! Why didnt they just pick Dan Quayle while they were at it!!!!!)----but the point is they in no way should have been publicly agitating, trying to defame the current administration and weaken its ability to govern THAT IS SUBVERSION AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH--and yes, even if the democrats are doing it (but come on, your team is WAY more virulent with slamming campaigns - and opportunity is never missed. Hell, Clinton got a bj and they tried to impeach him for petessake, didnt care that they embarrassed us in front of the whole world (no Clinton didnt embarrass us, the republicans did, by making a SPECTACLE of a normal every day thing. Who doesnt have sex? ..But again, that was subversive behavior AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN TREATED AS SUCH - AS A HIGH CRIME. So ok, I agree that if one side is doing it they've got no right to complain when the other side does it back to them. But-> neither side should be doing it. I'm amazed at the lack of dignity we handle ourselves with. Things have changed. In the 60's Kennedy NEVER would have been referred to as just "Kennedy", he was called President Kennedy, or Mister Kennedy - and this was back when we had a sense of decorum, the office was treated with dignity, no matter who was sitting in the chair at the time. And had someone depicted the president being stomped by an animal because "hey wouldnt you like to see that?", oh arrests probably would have been made! No..things have changed...for the worse if you ask me. Defamation and libel should NOT be a form of campaigning we allow. Presenting different ideas on issues, yes, but smearing the opposition with dirt, fake dirt, whatever they can get away with ..oh that just makes us all look stupid, as a nation. Both sides should stop it! So anyway I think I'm saying the people who complained about how our president was depicted here WERE RIGHT. But if it were Bush being defamed, I'd have said the same thing (and I did). Because we shouldn't defame the sitting government like that. It's our government.

This is another example of how your side excuses everything your guys do. Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. That he cheated on his wife and made a fool out of her is her business.
The POTUS has been criticized, ridiculed, besmirtched, et cetera, for decades. Take away the citizens' right to dissent and express themselves and you have a police state.
Obama is no better than anyone else and doesn't warrant any special treatment than past POTUS's have gotten.

Bush was unfairly criticized by the Democrats, but their boy Obama is above reproach. They also made excuses for their other boy, Bill Clinton. Democrats are just FUBAR. That's the long of it, That's the short of it, that's the real deal.

What a farce! Now the rodeo clowns have to undergo "sensitivity training" or rather the Obama Nation's political indoctrination in order to participate in future Missouri state fairs! This is exactly what the Soviet Union did with people who weren't politically on board with them! Classify them as being mentally ill! edition.cnn.com/2013/08/15/politics/missouri-rodeo-clowns-sensitivity-training-obama-clown/index.html?hpt=us_t4 QUOTE: After Obama-mocking rodeo clown, Missouri fair requires 'sensitivity training'Aug. 15, 2013 (CNN) -- A state fair's response to the uproar over a rodeo clown's mockery of President Obama is creating an uproar of its own. From now on, the Missouri State Fair won't allow any rodeo cowboys or clowns from the state's association to take part unless they all undergo "sensitivity training." And that's just part of the fallout from the Saturday incident in which a clown wearing an Obama mask held a broom descending from his backside while a voice said, "Hey, I know I'm a clown. He's just running around acting like one. Doesn't know he is one." Mark Ficken, president of the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, has resigned. Watch this video Rodeo clown the latest anti-Obama jab Rodeo clown Tuffy Gessling has apologized. He told Missouri news outlet digitalburg.com that he was the one whose voice was heard at the event, and that he never meant to offend. "It was a colleague of mine that was dressed up. I am the rodeo clown making jokes," he said. Gessling did not immediately return a message Thursday from CNN requesting comment. U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, a Texas Republican known as a provocateur, has invited the clown -- whose name he did not yet know -- to come perform in his own district. "Liberals want to bronco bust dissent. But Texans value speech, even if its speech they don't agree with," Stockman said. After video of the event caught attention on YouTube, fair officials and politicians -- both Democrats and Republicans -- slammed the portrayal of the president. So did some attendees, such as Perry Bream, who said, "It wasn't clean; it wasn't fun. It was awful; it was sickening. It was racist." Sensitivity training: PC overload? The Missouri State Fair Commission announced it was permanently banning "this rodeo clown from ever participating" again. It did not name the clown. That behavior, during the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association's Finals Rodeo, was "unacceptable," the commission said. Before it will consider contracting with the association again, "they must provide evidence to the director of the Missouri State Fair that they have proof that all officials and subcontractors of the MRCA have successfully participated in sensitivity training," the commission wrote in a news release. The conservative news outlet The Blaze called the demand "political insanity." A Facebook page supporting Gessling had more than 50,000 likes by Thursday morning. On Twitter, some people argued that being offended by a rodeo clown is "ridiculous." But others disagreed. "The sensitivity is needed by those fair planners who approved this act as representative of all Missourians," wrote Lisa Robinson. The Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association issued a brief statement apologizing to those offended by any performances at the rodeo. The Missouri State Fair Commission and the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association did not immediately respond Thursday to CNN's requests for comment. Ex-official fears losing school job Ficken, who stepped down Monday evening as president of the MRCA, has been threatened physically in the wake of the incident, CNN affiliate KDSK reported. He fears he may lose his job as superintendent of the Boonville R-1 School District, which is investigating whether he was involved. "He's shaking like a small dog passing razor blades," Ficken's lawyer, Albert Watkins, told the station. Ficken announced special guest "President Obama" at the rodeo. At one point, he said, "Watch out for that bull, Obama," but otherwise he was not part of the performance, according to Watkins. Gessling, meanwhile, told digitalburg.com he's been a rodeo clown throughout his career, and that it's what he loves to do. "Making fun of political and famous people is kind of the platform," he said. "... I've never tried to dishonor or disrespect anyone, so the whole thing was not meant to be racist or disrespectful. I was just trying to make people laugh."

This is another example of how your side excuses everything your guys do. Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. That he cheated on his wife and made a fool out of her is her business. Nonsense. Clinton was only UNDER oath to begin with because the Republicans attacked him, and ONLY TO ADVANCE THEIR OWN POLITICAL CAUSE, NOT because they thought he'd done something wrong. He had sex. Big Deal. Well, I'll tell you what, in the end all the republicans managed to accomplish with their underhanded effort was they embarrassed our country in front of the whole world. And I'm good and sick of that party's opportunistically misusing our system and our money that pays for it just for political gain and no legitimate reason. (Oh there's a long list. The "postage stamp scandal". The thousand dollar haircut Clinton was said to have held up an airport to get - but then the republicans were forced to admit THEY MADE IT UP. Just like the total fiction about SWIFT BOATS. And what about when your party was attacking gays, and one of our party was forced to point out that Cheney's daughter is gay? Remember the way the republicans reacted to that? It was no less ridiculous an obvious attempt to just say any kind of crap hoping to fool people into going "yea yea!" as was the time they manged to get a democrat out of the race by repeatedly playing a tape of him cheering on his campaign. THAT GUY DID NOTHING RIDICULOUS AT ALL. But you just kept repeating it and repeating it, until people OBEYED the suggestion that perhaps there was. AND THAT WAS THE PLAN. And that's dirty tricks. That has NOTHING to do with issues or any kind of LEGITIMATE campaigning in an election. But the republicans are nothing but dirty tricks, because the truth is they offer the people they need to get votes from NOTHING! In fact the people they need to get votes from are their victims! So they lie and smear..and never talk about ANYTHING substantive or a genuine issue. I dont hate the republican party because i listen to a propaganda channel and just repeat what they say. I hate them because I worked and studied for years to know whats what, and what I know of the republicans makes me very very angry. They've wrecked the country just to fleece it - to say it as short as possible. THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE DONE,. because THAT'S WHAT THEY STAND FOR AND WANTED TO DO!!!! And I apologize for my tone here, It;s directed at them, not at you. But you know what? I just found out they're robbing more money from me, in order to keep getting to pay no taxes. So I'm more outraged than usual about those *******s! I like talking to you. I hope you dont just decide I have to much hate for what you hold dear. I suppose you could take it that way - but really....I'm not wrong about any of this. *shrug* I devoted most of a decade to studying it. Every little thing I've said about them is the painful, awful, vexing truth. And here's another truth: running a country shouldnt be about dividing the populace into two camps and encouraging them to hate at each other, and by feeding them lies. Running the country shouldn't be about passing laws to stop people who typically vote Democrat from being able to vote at all (oh yes they did). THAT'S not doing anything decent or moral or actually legal. That's just the worst kind of gerrymandering while meanwehile theryre supposed to be doing good things for us. WHAT, I would challenge you to answer, have the republicans EVER done for this country that was actually good? I cant think of a single thing. They are obstructionists. Until Rush Limbaugh brainwashed people with hateful bigoted rabble-rousing, the republicans for decades were the minority, and the only thing they ever did in congress was vote against ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING the democrats would propose. Well the democrats were the government itself, so all the republicans were really doing was creating what we later called "gridlock", but i would call subversion and obstruction of our system - a high crime actually. Was THAT "good for the country" ? Of course not. It was why I began calling them the "stinkpot party". You know what a stink pot is? A stinkpot is someone who in the middle of something cool happening, raises their hand and says something crybaby and awful to have to even hear, because they whine whine whine arent getting to be the one holding the ball. Well they got to hold the ball in the end. They did it by monopolizing and scripting what used to be our free press (all the while complaining about a fictional "liberal press" which no longer existed). And they did it by putting propaganda where journalism used to be. Brainwashing as many millions as they could with total lies and with hate they encouraged them to feel. TELL ME a good reason to hate the Democrats. What would be a good thing to hate them for? Helping people? Oh come on that's thing one. The republicans think do-gooders are FAGOTS as Laura Schlesinger put it. Doing good is BAD according to the republicans. Helping people is weak. Doing ANYTHING with our tax money FOR US is bad. Doing ANYTHING with our tax money other than let the rich people steal it is "BAD". THATS what FOX teaches. Its what they encourage people to parrot excuses for. And THIS is why I hate the republicans. Theyre immoral robbers AND NOTHING ELSE! And they dont give a s**t what misery they cause and to how many millions by doing it. They havent got the slightest compunction for harming vast amounts of people, just to get to rob them. Fill their minds with lies, their hearts with hate, and then just pick their pockets clean. THAT'S the republican agenda. Thats what they do for America. And why there are people who 1 - cant see this 2 - would actually support it I dont know. But support it people did. So now we're broke. Because by supporting the republican party people actually HELPED AND ALLOWED the rich people to buy the government and use the power they acquired to take ALL the money. And I mean ALL of it. They even borrowed as much as possible so they could take that too. If the republican party was a house robber, it would be the kind that empties your place of everything, and then on the way out they notice one bare light bulb they missed, so they go back and take that too. There's no repairing what they've done to this country. They sold our jobs and bankrupted us. And now of course they can sit there and blame Obama for not being able to magically create a boom. Well guess what, when your guy gets in next time, he isn't going to be able to create one either. Because there isnt anything to make a recovery with. No jobs, no revenue, and no laws any more to protect us from that happening. They did a very complete job.

I don't have a problem with political satire; God knows most politicians deserve to be satirised.
Obama is a humourless pompous prig and as for the New World Order which one are we talking about?
The one that Prescott Bush advocated?
The one H G Wells advocate?
The one Josef Goebbels advocated?
The one that Dick Cheney advocated?
The one that Michael Moore advocated?
Or what?
To a non-paranoid mind it's obvious that there are many DIFFERENT bunches of conspirators all working to achieve DIFFERENT ends rather than one group of superpuppeteers all working from the same script.
Otherwise you end up in Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion territory.

I think a New World Order is any attempt to enlarge government and expand it's powers worldwide. "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely!" - Lord Acton "What is the New World Order?" Hmmm... sounds like an interesting thread title!

I wonder if perhaps it was a much more respectful or favorable presentation then.

I don't remember anyone being offended by the film "Point Break", which had thousands of times as many viewers as that rodeo! A group of bank robbers wearing the masks of LBJ, Nixon, Reagan and Carter rob a bank at gun point and shoot up people and get shot down!

Regardless, Obama is DEFINITELY no better than any other POTUS and not above being ridiculed like all the other POTUS's have been. I hate to imagine how liberals would react if a movie about assassinating him were made like one was about Bush. Are you implying he warrants 'special treatment' because he's half black?

Nonsense. Clinton was only UNDER oath to begin with because the Republicans attacked him, and ONLY TO ADVANCE THEIR OWN POLITICAL CAUSE, NOT because they thought he'd done something wrong. He had sex. Big Deal. Well, I'll tell you what, in the end all the republicans managed to accomplish with their underhanded effort was they embarrassed our country in front of the whole world. And I'm good and sick of that party's opportunistically misusing our system and our money that pays for it just for political gain and no legitimate reason. (Oh there's a long list. The "postage stamp scandal". The thousand dollar haircut Clinton was said to have held up an airport to get - but then the republicans were forced to admit THEY MADE IT UP. Just like the total fiction about SWIFT BOATS. And what about when your party was attacking gays, and one of our party was forced to point out that Cheney's daughter is gay? Remember the way the republicans reacted to that? It was no less ridiculous an obvious attempt to just say any kind of crap hoping to fool people into going "yea yea!" as was the time they manged to get a democrat out of the race by repeatedly playing a tape of him cheering on his campaign. THAT GUY DID NOTHING RIDICULOUS AT ALL. But you just kept repeating it and repeating it, until people OBEYED the suggestion that perhaps there was. AND THAT WAS THE PLAN. And that's dirty tricks. That has NOTHING to do with issues or any kind of LEGITIMATE campaigning in an election. But the republicans are nothing but dirty tricks, because the truth is they offer the people they need to get votes from NOTHING! In fact the people they need to get votes from are their victims! So they lie and smear..and never talk about ANYTHING substantive or a genuine issue. I dont hate the republican party because i listen to a propaganda channel and just repeat what they say. I hate them because I worked and studied for years to know whats what, and what I know of the republicans makes me very very angry. They've wrecked the country just to fleece it - to say it as short as possible. THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE DONE,. because THAT'S WHAT THEY STAND FOR AND WANTED TO DO!!!! And I apologize for my tone here, It;s directed at them, not at you. But you know what? I just found out they're robbing more money from me, in order to keep getting to pay no taxes. So I'm more outraged than usual about those *******s! I like talking to you. I hope you dont just decide I have to much hate for what you hold dear. I suppose you could take it that way - but really....I'm not wrong about any of this. *shrug* I devoted most of a decade to studying it. Every little thing I've said about them is the painful, awful, vexing truth. And here's another truth: running a country shouldnt be about dividing the populace into two camps and encouraging them to hate at each other, and by feeding them lies. Running the country shouldn't be about passing laws to stop people who typically vote Democrat from being able to vote at all (oh yes they did). THAT'S not doing anything decent or moral or actually legal. That's just the worst kind of gerrymandering while meanwehile theryre supposed to be doing good things for us. WHAT, I would challenge you to answer, have the republicans EVER done for this country that was actually good? I cant think of a single thing. They are obstructionists. Until Rush Limbaugh brainwashed people with hateful bigoted rabble-rousing, the republicans for decades were the minority, and the only thing they ever did in congress was vote against ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING the democrats would propose. Well the democrats were the government itself, so all the republicans were really doing was creating what we later called "gridlock", but i would call subversion and obstruction of our system - a high crime actually. Was THAT "good for the country" ? Of course not. It was why I began calling them the "stinkpot party". You know what a stink pot is? A stinkpot is someone who in the middle of something cool happening, raises their hand and says something crybaby and awful to have to even hear, because they whine whine whine arent getting to be the one holding the ball. Well they got to hold the ball in the end. They did it by monopolizing and scripting what used to be our free press (all the while complaining about a fictional "liberal press" which no longer existed). And they did it by putting propaganda where journalism used to be. Brainwashing as many millions as they could with total lies and with hate they encouraged them to feel. TELL ME a good reason to hate the Democrats. What would be a good thing to hate them for? Helping people? Oh come on that's thing one. The republicans think do-gooders are FAGOTS as Laura Schlesinger put it. Doing good is BAD according to the republicans. Helping people is weak. Doing ANYTHING with our tax money FOR US is bad. Doing ANYTHING with our tax money other than let the rich people steal it is "BAD". THATS what FOX teaches. Its what they encourage people to parrot excuses for. And THIS is why I hate the republicans. Theyre immoral robbers AND NOTHING ELSE! And they dont give a s**t what misery they cause and to how many millions by doing it. They havent got the slightest compunction for harming vast amounts of people, just to get to rob them. Fill their minds with lies, their hearts with hate, and then just pick their pockets clean. THAT'S the republican agenda. Thats what they do for America. And why there are people who 1 - cant see this 2 - would actually support it I dont know. But support it people did. So now we're broke. Because by supporting the republican party people actually HELPED AND ALLOWED the rich people to buy the government and use the power they acquired to take ALL the money. And I mean ALL of it. They even borrowed as much as possible so they could take that too. If the republican party was a house robber, it would be the kind that empties your place of everything, and then on the way out they notice one bare light bulb they missed, so they go back and take that too. There's no repairing what they've done to this country. They sold our jobs and bankrupted us. And now of course they can sit there and blame Obama for not being able to magically create a boom. Well guess what, when your guy gets in next time, he isn't going to be able to create one either. Because there isnt anything to make a recovery with. No jobs, no revenue, and no laws any more to protect us from that happening. They did a very complete job. So you don't think adultery and making a national fool out of your wife is a big deal? It's not an impeachable offense. Regardless, Obama is DEFINITELY no better than any other POTUS and not above being ridiculed like all the other POTUS's have been. I hate to imagine how liberals would react if a movie about assassinating him were made like one was about Bush. Are you implying he warrants 'special treatment' because he's half black? Hi Heeeeey His being black has no bearing on anything. If this incident had happened to George Bush, I'd have said the same thing I'm saying now - it's not ok to ask people if they wish to see the president harmed. Also, if this had happened to George Bush - or any republican president- you guys would be squawking about it way louder than we ever do about a thing. You always do that. You play every little thing you can to try and defame the other side. And because this is so true, it's hypocritical to complain that we're complaining. PLUS --> the article states that democrat AND republican officials had a problem with this. So it really isn't a partisan issue, and that makes me wonder why people have tried to make it one,

Tuffy, the rodeo clown speaks out on the death threats he received, being spit on in the face, etc.. since he played Obama at the rodeo fair. He asserts his Obama Clown act was no different that the rodeo clown acts of Clinton and Bush.

It isn't always going to matter if something was done, or considered acceptable, in the past. Things change.
For one the politics are MUCH uglier and more hateful and seriously damaging now than ever before. We have a propaganda network pretending to be "news", to trick people so they can be fleeced. And they're being cajoled into HATING the sitting government (Obama), just so some rich robbers who bought the power to do that can get away with it. And the country has literally been wrecked from this.
And this publicity stunt aids and abets THAT activity.
Secondly, to consider it "sport' to torture animals is WAY past not ok anymore. We're very much aware now of the seriousness of that and of someone getting their body mangled by being trampled. In the past...like the 60's past...bullfighting, for instance, was considered "manly", whereas now it's seen for what it is: an asshole with a small penis tormenting an animal. What the hell!
So things change. Politics get more ugly, more serious. Shocking old ways of mistreating animals begin to outrage people. And along comes this CLOWN and says "would you like to see the president STOMPLED BY A CHARGING ANIMAL?"
Part of me doesnt know why people didnt react with appropriate disdain to this type of "entertainment" years ago. But then again we used to think women were chattle and black people were mentally ill if they didnt want to be slaves, so..and these attitudes were not even that long ago...so we're nasty! And change is only just happening in our lifetime. I say welcome it.
Now, does this guy deserve death threats? Well that's going a bit far. But, if I can just forget about politically correcting my thoughts for a moment and just be honest, hey - he helped the republicans. ANYONE who helps the republicans should receive an instant and most unpleasant rebuke (a kick in the nuts perhaps) whenever it's revealed anywhere that they even as much as voted Republican, or watched FOX. You know why> Because people NEED to be made to fear anyone even KNOWING they support the republicans, so that the republican party DIES. Just like happened to the support for the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana in the 1930's. Oh everyone was supporting the KKK! They had a klan governor, who intended to run for president even. And it all fell apart, from a scandal, and then all of a sudden NO ONE, and I mean no one, would admit THEY had ever voted for the Klan. THAT'S what needs to happen to the republican party.
Not my opinion. Just how it is. If you disagree, you're wrong.
I'm not going to go into why, I've already done that extensively elsewhere.
But the republicans are both hated and hateful, and this clown act was on their behalf. THAT'S why it was reviled, as it should have been.
