The NAACP says the clown was guilty of inciting violence against the president.
NAACP calls on Justice Dept., Secret Service to investigate rodeo clown flap - Washington Times
How crazy is this?? From what I can remember every single president during my lifetime has been mocked in one way or another...especially with masks. In fact I found a piece showing Bush was the target of a similar situation back in 1994 and of course nothing was made of it, and nothing should have.
A dummy with a George Bush mask stood beside the clown, propped up by a broomstick. [...] T.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. He tore into it, sending the rubber mask flying halfway across the sand as he turned toward the fence, sending cowboys scrambling up the fence rails, hooking one with his horn and tossing him off the fence.

Why is it ok to make fun of other presidents but when a little mockery of Obama results in a clown getting fired and calls for investigations?
This is a perfect example of how far we've slid backwards in race relations.
