Hot Air.com: Department of Justice now involved in story of man who built Obama-mocking parade floathttp://hotair.com/archives/2014/07/...-of-man-who-built-obama-mocking-parade-float/http://hotair.com/archives/2014/07/...-of-man-who-built-obama-mocking-parade-float/

The U.S. Department of Justice has joined the discussions over a controversial float in the Norfolk [Nebraska] Independence Day parade.

The department sent a member of its Community Relations Service team, which gets involved in discrimination disputes, to a Thursday meeting about the issue. Also at the meeting were the NAACP, the Norfolk mayor and The Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

The float was created by a Nebraska veteran, Dale Emmerich, and featured a zombified mannequin figure standing in front of an outhouse bearing the sign, “Obama Presidential Library.” Emmerich said the mannequin represented him and other veterans, and the float was a comment on the horrors of the VA scandal.

"Dear DOJ: It's called 'freedom of speech' and political commentary. Get over yourselves and your president."

They can't even pronounce the name of the town right.

Imagine the reaction if the DOJ paid a visit to a newspaper over a similar political cartoon.

Imagine the reaction if the DOJ paid a visit to a newspaper over a similar political cartoon.

Seems to me they threatened to do that to television stations about a year ago, and the outcry from even the liberal parrots was so great they backed off. I don't know if newspapers have that kind of power anymore.
