Eric Holder's Justice Department is investigating a parade float!

The Obamessiah shall not be mocked.

The U.S. Department of Justice sent a member of its "Community Relations Service team" to Norfolk, Nebraska, earlier this week, to look into allegations of discrimination over a controversial float in the town's Independence Day parade.

A meeting was convened on Thursday with the DOJ CRS team member, the NAACP, the Norfolk mayor and The Independent Order of Odd Fellows - the group that organized the parade.

The offending float included a zombie-like mannequin in overalls standing in front of an outhouse labeled “Obama Presidential Library.” This caused some of Norfolk's citizens to cry racism.

Was the float in poor taste? Sure. Was it tacky? Oh yeah. Funny? That's in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I found it cringeworthy myself. But racist? I'm not seeing it. I see political satire. You don't like it? Write a letter to the editor. Come on, people.
