Norfolk, Neb. (KMTV) - Mayor Sue Fuchtman confirms to KMTV Action 3 News that Department of Justice officials are in Norfolk to discuss a controversial parade float.Last Saturday, a man put an outhouse on his parade float with a sign that read, "Obama Presidential Library."
A zombie dressed as a farmer was leaning against the building. Parade organizers told KMTV they talked to the creator, who's a farmer, and he said the zombie was supposed to be him, not the president.

...Members of the Odd Fellows Lodge, who sponsor the parade, say following this year's parade, they plan to reevaluate the policies for what is allowed in the parade.
The creator of the float says the it was meant to be a commentary on the V-A medical system, and depicted himself, not the president
Can’t be critical of Dear Leader.
But all that nasty stuff against Bush(s) and Reagan, Nixon were all okay.
But thugs armed with Billy clubs are perfectly okay for Mr. Holder.
They should put it on the white house lawn.
Oh, wait. They didn't.
So what if it was depicting Obama?!?
This in NO WAY is a “threat” to Obama, it could be a depiction of Obama’s slow, zombie-like reaction to the problems at the VA.
This is getting ridiculous! We have a right to ridicule, berate, and mock our government, without the government bothering us!!
Yet they can expend resources for THIS?
But not the IRS
But not the south border
What about the First Amendment “Justice Dept”?
Don't forget the feature length movie the left produced fantasizing about the assasination of President Bush.
In the Soviet Union, it was illegal to criticize Stalin. It was also illegal to say it was illegal to criticize Stalin.
Are we there yet?
How thin-skinned is that!
They have 2 more years to make us understand, they are the power and do not mock the king.
Hand them a copy of the 1st Amendment and tell them to go **** themselves.
You know you are in a totalitarian country when you are not allowed to make fun of its leader.
Clown Prince nobama only deserves ridicule. He is an anti-Free-American and a traitor. What’s not to ridicule about this poltroon?
Everyone is looking at this wrong.
Two years until we are done with Obama?
Obama will be spending this time to figure a way to stay in power for all time.
We actually have less than two years.
This is why impeachment now is so critical. If not impeachment now, by the time the stars align properly to allow for impeachment, it will be too late...
They should float this parade float on the Rio Grand at the border. Maybe then homobama will send some feds to the border, even if it’s only to investigate this float.
It's not thin skinned. They are not offended in that sense.
This is Brownshirt intimidation, pure and simple.
Do you honestly think you possess political freedom of speech?
It could be aimed directly at Obama and the feds would not have a say in it. Obama doesn’t like any part of the First Amendment but tough crap for him. Political Speech is protected and the farmer should sue the federal government for violating that right.
