President of the Missouri chapter of the NAACP Mary Ratliff claimed in a radio interview Thursday that the Obama mask-donning rodeo clown committed a hate crime, CBS St. Louis reports. “I think that a hate crime occurred,” Mary Ratliff said to KXNT Radio. “I think a hate crime occurs when you use a person’s race to depict who they are and to make degrading comments, gestures, et cetera, against them.” Ratliff’s definition stands in stark contrast to the actual federal hate crimes statue, which would require rodeo clown Tuffy Gessling to “willfully cause bodily injury” to President Barack Obama with “fire, a firearm, a dangerous weapon, or an explosive or incendiary device.” Ratliff did not indicate if Gessling had attempted to attack the president with fire or other weaponry, but did say the Secret Service should investigate the matter nonetheless. “When taxpayer money is utilized to discredit and be disrespectful to our president, whether he be black, white, Hispanic, Latina … it is an outrage,” she continued. Ratliff said she believes the “mean” rodeo act requires that the Department of Justice dedicate more taxpayer dollars into investigating Gessling’s feelings about Obama. “With all of the hateful and mean things that are happening and happened in Missouri here at the rodeo, we believe that the Justice Department should look into the discriminatory practices against our sitting African-American president,” Ratliff said. “In this country, discrimination is still illegal.” Ratliff previously accused Gessling and the Missouri State Fair of “inciting violence” against Obama. “The activities at the Missouri State Fair targeting and inciting violence against our President are serious and warrant a full review by both the Secret Service and the Justice Department,” Ratliff said in a statement on Tuesday, OzarksFirst.com reports. Ratliff’s comments are the most recent chapter in the rodeo clown saga that has been the source of much controversy in the past week. Gessling’s Saturday night performance sparked a hysterical national outcry. The Missouri State Fair declared the show was an “unconscionable stunt” and sentenced every clown in the rodeo’s association to sensitivity training while slamming Gessling with a lifetime ban. Gov. Jay Nixon issued a statement through his press secretary calling the performance “disrespectful and offensive.” Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman, however, invited Gessling to perform in Texas. Supporters of Gessling have filed a White House petition calling on Obama to pledge personal support to the clown, while a friendly Facebook fan page has earned over 70,000 likes. Gessling himself issued an apology for the act on his personal Facebook page, but the post has been removed.

What a stupid bitch. “When taxpayer money is utilized to discredit and be disrespectful to our president, whether he be black, white, Hispanic, Latina … it is an outrage,” she continued. WTH? Did the "taxpayers" buy the mask for the clown? And whether the idiot likes it or not, Obama is not "my" President--he is hers I guess but he is not mine. Paul Craig Roberts

Is it just me, or does it seem like nigs have really gotten sensitive since they lost the Trayvon trial?

What they're hoping is, by the time Obama's done, we'll be so fed up that even Hillary Clinton will look good to us.

I think the NAACP has a point; I hate Obama. So if hating someone is a crime, even thru the vastness of the 'net, I'm guilty.

Bottom line: Obama = Idi Amin/Robert Mugabe/Nelson Mandela/et al Ratliff said she believes the “mean” rodeo act requires that the Department of Justice dedicate more taxpayer dollars into investigating Gessling’s feelings about Obama.

Idi Amin was probably a bit more classy than Obama.

I had posted this earlier but somehow it didn't show up. I don't think that what the rodeo clown was doing anything racist. Under previous presidents, it was common for clowns to put on their Halloween masks and invite some indignity. The rodeo announcer, on the other hand, seemed to be a mite nasty about it. And although Obama hasn't said or done anything to the clown, it seems a bunch of people not named Obama get all sensitive and hysterical vicariously.

NO President is above mockery or criticism. It seems that the 1st Amendment is a real bitch when it cuts back across the progressives and their sacred cows.

I bet this is a picture of that bitch that wants to make anything negative ever said about the Kenyan a "hate crime."
