During an Independence Day parade in Nebraska there was a parade float with a caricature of Barack Obama standing in front of an out-house. The out-house was labeled as Barack Obama’s presidential library...

...Eric Holder...has announced he will be sending a team to Nebraska to investigate the parade float.

Remember, Libs threatened to kill Palin and her kids, burned and hung her in effigy and threatened her homes and hacked her e-mails. And the libs claimed “1st Amendment”. It’s a shame Holder, who is a racist, wants to investigate this and only this

What the Hell are those GOP eunuchs in Congress waiting for?
Defund the Justice Dept NOW, and start impeachment proceedings against Eric Holder ASAP.

Hard to think that someone is more blatantly contemptuous of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights than Omugabe. But here you have it.
What has Holder done to date that fits his duty and obligations as Attorney General?

With no funds, the Justice Dept can just sit and do nothing, but stop damaging the Bill of Righst. Let his flying monkeys use their private credit cards to persecute American citizens in Nebraska and across the country.

Then any contributions that we choose to provide this new Holder victim, can't be offset by our own Tax money!

The Sedition Act in 1798 made it a crime to say insulting things about the President (but not the Vice President).

Holder may not be aware that that law has expired.

Everyone knows Outhouses are Racist!

Obama likely never saw or used an outdoor privy in his life or as we call them in these parts The Little Brown Shack. Holder if your goons are reading this "Ode To The Little Brown Shack Out Back" is an early 1960's song written by Billy Edd Wheeler lamenting the demise of a family outhouse. He's even written a book on outhouses. An outhouse is not racist white, black, rich, poor, even former presidents have used them. My property came with one.

A “racist” parade float is the biggest problem we have to deal with?...

Of course not.
But it's the biggest problem that Holder and Omugabe can think of that needs the Executive Department boots applied to citizens' necks!

IMPEACH HOLDER NOW, DAMMIT!

Whatever this “team” is called, it’s just another bunch of thugs. There is nothing innocuous about the Justice Department or its “team” — the mission can be characterized as investigative or conciliatory, but the reality is they will be there to threaten and extort.

Norfolk, Nebraska, is located in Madison County. Presumably named for James Madison, who wrote the First Amendment.

Am I missing something here? Even if the parade float were “racist,” it’s still protected free speech under the Constitution.

1) It’s protected political speech.
2) The First Amendment allows you to be “racist” and even engage in *gasp* non-politically correct speech.
3) Conceding the point of the float being “racist,” which I do not, how is this any different than the KKK being allowed to march in Skokie, for example?

What the heck is wrong with this Holder moron? He has no legal leg to stand on.

What kind of paranoid, insecure presidential administration reacts to an insult to their honor with a federal investigation...

Look at the bright side. Holder will have an impossible task proving that any criticism or insult is the result of racism, rather than due to the most inept, arrogant, destructive and incompetent presidency in U.S. history, bar none.

No other presidency no matter how corrupt and/or incompetent, even comes close!

Here is the team he's going to send over to investigate

That's close.
Except that his private army is a different shade of nasty; wear brown berets and look like Obama sons.

“What the heck is wrong with this Holder moron? He has no legal leg to stand on.”

It is all about building a narrative for the midterm elections. He has to motivate blacks, gays and women by creating a false manipulative story for each group.

Kind of reminds me of the story about the clown who performed at the rodeo in Missouri. Actually I thought the float was pretty creative. Of course I was born in Nebraska long ago so maybe I’m biased. Maybe Holder is upset because he knows it fits Obama to a tee. The truth always hurts.

How many anti-Bush floats were there in the 2000’s??

Irrelevant.
Doesn't matter.

The first Amendment is absolute and no one is immune from its effect, so long as it's political speech, and there is no "FIRE!" involved.
