State Fair

“Show Me” Your Racism

At the Missouri State Fair last Saturday night, a rodeo clown dressed up as President Obama to entertain the crowd. The story was posted on a progressive blog site, ShowMeProgress.com. The report:

“Just prior to the start of the bull riding event, one of the clowns came out dressed in this,” the post says, referring to the photo. “The announcer wanted to know if anyone would like to see Obama run down by a bull. The crowd went wild. He asked it again and again, louder each time, whipping the audience into a lather. One of the clowns ran up and started bobbling the lips on the mask and the people went crazy.”

According to the post, a bull then charged the clown, forcing him to run away “to the delight of the onlookers hooting and hollering from the stands.”
