Calls by the Missouri chapter of the NAACP for a federal investigation into a rodeo clown who donned a President Obama mask at the state fair last week are misguided and hypocritical, a Texas Republican congressman told FoxNews.com on Thursday.

U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, who has invited the clown who wore the mask to perform in Texas, said the request for probes into the incident by the Justice Department and Secret Service are “silly” and should be ignored.

Silly maybe, but look who runs the DOJ. These are some thin-skinned people.

Thin skinned when it comes to those on their side but completely callous when dealing with anyone else and real issues.

The NAACP, didn't ask Leon Coffee or Nate Hawthorne, how they felt about it.

I remember Leon, wearing a Nixon mask once @ Hills Arena.

At this juncture in his life, Obama is seen by people first as president, then only second at most as a black man. People mock presidents all the time, it is just part of politics. This is not about race this is about his position. To claim otherwise is to be obsessed about race.
