NAACP: CLOWN REPRESENTATION OF A PRESIDENT IS RACISM?

On Tuesday, the Missouri State National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) issued a statement asking for federal involvement in the case of a rodeo clown who wore an Obama maskand then asked the crowd if they’d like to see Obama run down by a bull. “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,” said State President Mary Ratliff. “Incidents involving individuals acting out with extreme violent behavior in movie theaters, schools, churches, political appearances, and outdoor events in general speaks volume to the irresponsible behavior of all the parties involved with the incendiary events at the Missouri State Fair.”
Ratliff went on to condemn the state’s funding of the State Fair: “our Legislature has failed to support Medicare Expansion in Missouri, has consistently attempted to dismantle our Human Rights Commission, fail to adequately fund urban schools — (who) are predominately African American — yet they are subsidizing the Missouri State Fair to the tune of $400,000; we are calling for the subsidy to stop…[Governor Nixon’s] planned Pancake Breakfast for Thursday should be his ‘Last Supper’ at the Missouri State Fair in response to the racially intolerant attacks on his Commander in Chief.”
Threatening the life of the prez, ANY PREZ is a crime. NO question. Those who take an interest in such threats (the Secret Service), I expect will be following up. If this was not meant as a jest, it may be a crime.
SATIRE, a crime, though?
In the past decades I have watched organizations such as the SPLC degenerate from righteous defenders of EQUAL OPPORTUNITY (by both defending that and attacking those who stand for the opposite) to being dialectic repeating organs of a left whose progressive ‘values’ insist that only their ‘truth’ can be correct. These mouthpieces inisit that since they stand for the right and the good, that those who oppose them, therefore are EVIL in function, even if not in purpose (but usually evil all the way).
This latest involving the Demo Party Organ also now known as the NAACP, is a perfect icon.
Satire and criticism of the president is now a racist crime.
A THOUGHT CRIME.
A few years ago, I stopped contributing to BOTH these organizations.
I am glad.
They no longer stand for equal opportunity.
They and too many of those who support this administration want something far different.
Who knows, perhaps their unquestioning certainty might even mean THEY ARE EVIL?

Meanwhile it was ok to depict Bush and Hillary as a clown in rodeo's.

Some....Are more equal then others.

It is very easy to recognize real racism when it happens. Criticizing Obama is a sure sign of racism. Praising him to the skies is merely a sign of advanced intelligence and social awareness.

Ciccio i have the distinct impression that there is a slight chance you may be sarcastic in meaning. ;)

They use the word racism as a catch-all phrase now. I love it. The more they use it, the less it means.

it's not that Racism doesn't exist. It's just that the PC definition of Racism has been banged on so much that it has been shown to be thoroughly hollow.

At some point in the future, MAYBE, this country will figure out what Racism actually means. BUT REALLY, THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES TO DEAL WITH IN THE INTERIM.

Pasto,
There is no doubt that actual racism does exist.

But the overworking of the word "racism" has served to entrench the actual racists even more in their belief AND commitment to racism.
