They're running out of things to distract us. Next thing you know they'll start releasing long-held government secrets. Like, oh, say, Area 51 really exists.

blzrul Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Wearing the mask is not the issue, it's the purpose for which he wore it. I have had Carter, Reagan, Nixon and other masks - just wore them for Halloween (purchased at the old Village Toy Shop in Fairport). But certainly not to degrade the guy which is what this was all about. It just shows how divided we are that people would laugh - I would have been disgusted. I don't like rodeos anyway.

Same clown wore a Bush mask at the same rodeo years ago. No one cared. Suddenly it's degrading. Gotcha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But certainly not to degrade the guy which is what this was all about. It just shows how divided we are that people would laugh - I would have been disgusted. I don't like rodeos anyway. The purpose was to degrade him? Really? From Merriam Webster: a : to lower in grade, rank, or status : demote b : to strip of rank or honors c : to lower to an inferior or less effective level <degrade the image quality> d : to scale down in desirability or salability 2 a : to bring to low esteem or into disrepute <his actions have degraded his profession> b : to drag down in moral or intellectual character : corrupt 3 : to impair in respect to some physical property <material degraded by exposure to sunlight> 4 : to wear down by erosion 5 : to reduce the complexity of (a chemical compound) : decompose I call bull ****. It was satire, plain and simple. Spare us your faux-indignation. Your emperor has no clothes. Edited August 21, 2013 by TakeYouToTasker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed you didn't have anything to say about the photo shop pic of the President with clown makeup on. That is actually degradation, the rodeo clown stunt is not. Oh wait, that was President Bush. Ah yes I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's so hard not to be a lefty and be a hypocrite. Their indignation is only a one way street. Us on the right tend to pretty much hate everyone.

Luka Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 A sexist and a racist. You would think the left would've been up in arms... but the guy wearing the mask was black so... that's one of those logical paradoxes libs avoid like an honest day's labor.

No, no, no it's not that the guy wearing the mask was black. Actually he was white but forgot to wash up after his Saturday night cross burning, but I digress. It's that the mask he was wearing was not that of a black man. See wearing the mask of a black man, not to mention our first black President is highly offensive and racist.

There is nothing really to contribute... It is shameful how the conservatives whine and cry about everything. The media picks on them. Nobody is advocating for them when it comes to race. They have become a parody of themselves. They have all the answers and nobody is listening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if the liberals whined and cried about everything that happened during the Bush terms, I could understand. But they were never anything more than patriotic and supportive of everything he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, its a good thing no one ever made fun of bush or wore a bush mask ever during his presidency, or the media would be obligated to defend bush, the media would obviously never join in mocking him either.

TakeYouToTasker Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Staunch opposition is now to be considered bitching and whining? What do you suggest conservatives do? Just grab their ankles and take it deep? If conservatives aren't to mount their opposition vocally, what then? Do you recommend an escalation to physicality?
