(
NEWSER) – The Missouri State Fair Commission has banned a rodeo clown who came dressed in an Obama mask on the weekend from ever performing there again,
KDSK reports. The clown appeared during a bull riding event. Another clown reportedly played with the lips of the Obama mask, and the clown eventually had to jump aside to avoid a bull. Many media outlets reported that the show's announcer asked the crowd whether "anyone would like to see Obama run down by a bull," but the announcer's attorney says that comment came from the clown too, the
AP reports. Regardless,
Show Me Progress says the audience was whipped "into a lather" by the performance. "I felt like I was at a Klan rally," said one fair visitor, per the
Raw Story.

For reals? If it was a Bush mask would it feel like racism to white people?
Back in 1994, the cowboys used George Bush dummies at the Woodstown, Pennsylvania rodeo.
For some reason, the liberals didn’t seem to mind this too much.
Philly.com reported:
“The big white gate flew open. The bull came out bucking. The rider flopped from side to side and the bullfighters held back, letting the bull make his moves until the rider dropped off. Licciardello crouched in a heavily padded barrel, a human target should the bull decide to charge. Hawkins waited near the barrel, holding his big inner tube. A dummy with a George Bush mask stood beside the clown, propped up by a broomstick.“…
…”.J. Hawkins rolled out the big inner tube, and the bull lowered his head, shot forward and launched into the tube, sending it bounding down the center of the arena. The crowd cheered. Then the bull saw the George Bush dummy.
