Oh no! Someone dared mock the President with toilet humor!  Quick! Send in the Feds to investigate!  Who cares if no actual crime has been committed?

I don't get it.  I could see that if the President was a redneck or something.  Do people in Nebraska think Obama is like a country bumpkin type?  I would think the stereotype of Obama should be that he's overly bookish and an elitist Harvard type.  And why is he a zombie?

Essentially, the message there is, "The President is bad, also poop."  Whoever made that is not exactly a latter day Moliere.

Basically, the thin-skinned Justice Department is equating showing the Obama Presidential Library as an outhouse as racist, which is isn't.   (And even if it were, the DoJ shouldn't be investigating something that's still not a crime, but free speech).  I doubt the Bush DoJ's CRS investigated when a cartoonist depicted the Bush Presidential Library as an outhouse or a parade had a float of a cowboy-dressed Bush sitting down in an outhouse.

I guess I forgot about that part of the Constitution where "hillbillies" aren't entitled to Freedom of Speech and the government must investigate their parade floats lest they offend anyone with delicate sensibilities.

This seems like some serious PC BS right here.

And you know what? Being a smart politician, I'm guessing Obama would've preferred these thought police had just kept to themselves.

I guess this doesn't apply any more?

Emphasis on "should."  Republicans "should" engage in respectful, but trenchant criticism or mockery of the President.  But, Republicans actually engage in illogical vitriol that only a dumb, racist cracker could dream up, including that parade float.
