A rodeo clown, banned from Missouri State Fairs for life for wearing
an Obama mask during a show, might just have the chance to perform
again. Rep. Steve Stockman, a Texas Republican, invited the rodeo clown
to perform in his state. “I’m sure any rodeo in Texas would be proud to
have performers,” he said in a statement. “Liberals want to bronco bust dissent. But Texans value speech, even if its speech they don’t agree with,” wrote Stockman. “Disagreeing
with speech is one thing. Banning it and ordering citizens into
reeducation classes for mocking a liberal leader is another,” he
continued. “Liberals have targeted this man for personal destruction to
create a climate of fear.” “The
liberal reaction is straight out of Alinsky. They want to crush
dissent by isolating and polarizing anyone who questions Obama, even if
it’s a rodeo clown with a harmless gag,” he said. “The idea to create a
state of fear and make people afraid to trivialize Obama. No one tried
to personally destroy the rodeo clown who wore a George H.W. Bush mask.” Stockman is not the first to lend his support to the rodeo clown: Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan argued that it would be “classy” if the President defended the clown.
