August 13, 2013 will surely be remembered as <a href="http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0068451\/" target="_blank">The Day The Clown Cried</a>.

Manufactured RW outrage, on the other hand, is a mocker's wet dream.

The devil can cite scripture better than the wingnuts can quote Lewis. That's actually a mangled version of <a href="http:\/\/lazarusonline.org\/uploads\/3\/0\/6\/6\/3066591\/c._s._lewis_-_the_screwtape_letters.pdf" target="_blank">Lewis quoting Thomas More</a>.

which real cowboys went around tying rope around a bull's nuts before they climbed aboard?

The racism apologists have accomplished their real goal here- changing the subject. Even the other side has bought into the framing. This was never about Tuffy- it was about the institutional racism of the Missouri Rodeo Association that hired not only him , but the other clown in the act, BOTH announcers (one of whom is president of the association) and everyone else in the organization who thought this was a good idea. Only now, we're all debating whether or not Tuffy did something wrong, as if he acted alone. Congratulations, we're now turning this clown into a martyr for the RWNJs because no one seems to remember this wasn't just one person acting out

If Obama weren't a racist, he'd hold a press conference and declare: If I had a dumbass redneck clown son, he'd look just like Tuffy.Gessling.

Or stop abusing animals for human entertainment.

Eating them is a separate question upon which I'm not currently in a position to exhibit cheap self-righteous contempt.

Fortunately this falls completely in line with my current policy on Clowns.

Actually, it's a nickname the TP'ers wife would give his member, because it's a Toughy to get it going.

Tuffy Gessling - funniest guy on the national stage since Earl Butz.

When conspiracies collide: He was watching it on a live feed while he was napping and he called off the Marines and refused an airstrike because he knew he was sending that rodeo clown to his death.
