I have not seen the video yet, but playing with his ears is okay IMHO.  (not sure how I ended up the arbiter on this...  maybe *because* I haven't seen it)

Playing with the lips of a mask is not a racially-charged act. To treat it as such truly beggars the imagination.

I haven't seen video of anyone messing with the mask. Link?

I just heard a black man on the radio say that if a person was rude to him in public, that he was justified in assuming it was because that person was racist.  I'd wager this guy has never seen real racism.  He just imagines it as an explanation for all the bad things in his life. 

This case is the same IMO.  It shows in bold type that you can't lampoon a black President without being called a racist.  I am disappointed that the rodeo association up there rolled on command.

I heard Rush today . . . he said from the reaction (Fire the clown, fire the announcer, get the clown fired from his day job, and on and on) you'd think it was the Taliban reacting to someone drawing a cartoon of The Prophet . . . almost as if someone's religion was under attack.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Hey, now. This is a REAL scandal. Not one of those fake Benghazi, Fast & Furious, IRS things you people like to waste time talking about.

Maybe they were mocking Mick Jagger.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Being ass clowns Democrats fear competition from rodeo clowns.

Things get ironical at about 4 minutes in.
