Well it's only right that the feds look into this, given that they did the same thing all those times that G.W. Bush was hanged in effigy.

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?

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.
