Because We Don’t Have Enough Damn Clowns in Texas
Look, the entire Texas Republican congressional delegation is a damn goat rodeo.
I know that. You know that. Everybody knows that.
So, why do they feel the need to keep proving it?
Texas Congressman Steve Stockman on Wednesday invited the rodeo clown who stirred a ruckus at the Missouri State Fair over their portrayal of President Barack Obama to perform at a rodeo in his district.
We’re gonna import more crazy clowns. We don’t have enough.
Holy crap, Stockman, you can’t find some famous writer to invite or maybe an astronaut or a teacher? Oh no, you invite some goofball with an Obama mask.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Stockman disgraces our nation.
1But its NOT because he is BLACK or er COLORED or er NEEGRO or African-American (whew that’s it) or anything, oh my NO! We are a post racial state in a post racial nation and you people just can’t take a JOKE that’s what’s wrong with y’all!
Good GOD I hate Republicans more DAILY! Good grief!
2Oh, Lordy, anything to keep their post racial crazy in the headlines! Ooooh, take that, Pt. Obama. And who’s the clown now?
3Rethuglicans claim there was a rodeo in 1994 that had a clown that had a dummy with a GHW Bush mask. No,I really believe the dummy was Herbert Walker,hisownself.
4There is no longer any such thing as a “good Republican.” Those that are “good” have become Democrats or Independents.
The rest, well, they’re too big to fit in a gunny sack and be heaved off a bridge. Besides, they’re all most likely zombies anyways.
5And we are surprised…why?
6A few decades ago, I was shocked to learn that Vidor, TX was home to one of the bigger KKK leaders. Yes, I was naive, but it still unnerved me to find out that the KKK lived among Texans like that. As I paid closer attention, I learned that black folks chose not to live in the Vidor community because of the racism there, and I felt sad that the situation was so bad. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to believe that KKK-minded bigots are all over the place — here, there and everywhere, I’d assume now.
That leads me to tonight when I wondered just what part of Texas does this Stockman dirtbag hail from. Looking at his web site, I see that, here in Texas, he has offices in Orange, Pasadena, and Cleveland, which are all towns outside of Houston and in East Texas.
Checking a map, I see that Orange is just 20 miles down the road from Vidor. I have absolutely no problem understanding how he represents the citizens of Vidor and other East Texas bastions of racial hatred. I guess that’s why I never want to have anything to do with that part of the state, in spite of whatever GOOD souls might reside there.
Bleah.
7I’m one of those people that live in East Texas (Gohmert-land). I don’t know about the KKK in my town because I don’t run in those circles. But however bad you think it is here, please stop thinking that. Because it is so much worse.
8I have relatives all over the country and you would be shocked to know how numerous are those who could live happily with the folks in Vidor.
9Stockman has the GOP in MO in a knot now. They already denounced the clown & announcer (who was in on it & made it far worse) – because the taxpayers paid for that rodeo including the clown.
10Sometimes I get like a dog with a bone…. I went looking for news about Vidor and the KKK and found some.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/12/08/oppenheim.sundown.town/
Here’s an interesting YouTube of a small KKK group in Vidor in 1992, holding a White Power rally through the daytime and into the evening while they wear their white robes and burn a large cross. Sheesh…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7B58AHkJto
11Oops. I didn’t mean to hit “send” on that last stuff about Vidor. Sorry ’bout that.
12Lookit, we voted him one-and-done back in ’96. The only way he got back to DC at all is by running in a newly-created district.
Friendswood, he’s all your’n.
13That Stockman needs to broaden his social circle a bit. So far, he’s only infamous for courting poaching, has-been CW singers and a rodeo clown. Who’s his next date gonna be?
14How very “Murican” of Stockman. What a pinhead…
15From the caption below the photo in the article:
The announcer asked the crowd if anyone wanted to see “Obama run down by a bull”, according to a spectator. “So then everybody screamed. …They just went wild,”.
That’s all we need to know to see where this garbage on the part of Stockman is headed.
16Just like I have always said, insufficient diversification.
17June Bug & Frank are right. The clown will have to get an agent because he’ll be invited all over the country to hype up crowds. The GOP will continue to slide into the mosh pit of people who believe everything spouted by Rush, Glenn, Alex & Co. It doesn’t bode well for the GOP leadership.
18Since I was born and raised on U.S. Hiway 59 in iowa,would some of you kind folks from Texas barricade 59 where it enters Texas to stop the racial hatred from migrating North. Much obliged.
19Just as sane people over the country are condemning the acts of the clown, this rep thinks ‘aha, what a good image to portray to the people of the world’
I cannot think this will have a good outcome
20Stockman needs to grab fellow Michigander carpetbagger Nugent and go back home to Michigan.
21No! Supposedly he has a small house in Friendswood , Harris County side, which also doubles as his business address. I live here! I have never seen the man! We don’t have rodeos here. A few clowns, but no rodeos.
22Hearing that they’re “one clown short of a rodeo”, the Texas GOP is looking to make up the shortfall.
I have to presume “they” say that because there’s no way they’re one clown short of a circus.
23They closed down the comments on the site where the article is. Darn it, the comments are always my favorite part & I can’t even see them!
24Folks;
I’ve been arguing the bigoted emails that I’ve received since Obama was elected. Most, if not all, are false, massaged in one way or another to make them sound true, and of course, there’s the photo-shopping of Obama photos. I’ve also done my share of hand-wringing trying to come up with a reasonable answer for why when our nation was in the middle of two wars and in the worse economic condition since the Great Depression, so many people became devisive instead of coming together to get ourselves out of this mess.
I recently found what I believe is the simple answer. I found it in a quote of an American theologian, Tryvon Edwards: PREJUDICES ARE RARELY OVERCOME BY ARGUMENT; NOT BEING FOUNDED IN REASON THEY CANNOT BE DESTROYED BY LOGIC. Though this answered my question, it also gave me more reason to fight against it.
25Expect to see the clown on the Teathug political circuit. After hearing the enthusiastic roar of many tiny minds at each venue he visits, he will believe himself capable of great things, and will then go own to run for office hisownself. Remember Joe the Plumber?
