Eric Holder’s “Justice” Department has finally found a scandal worthy of investigation. No, it isn’t the use of the weaponized IRS to destroy enemies of the Democrat Party, it isn’t the Benghazi cover-up, it isn’t the veterans left to die on secret waiting lists by the VA, it isn’t the hundreds of $billions laundered through “green energy” boondoggles to pay off Obama’s campaign donors, it isn’t the government’s evident complicity in planning the massive invasion of underage illegal aliens, and it certainly isn’t Holder’s own involvement in smuggling arms to Mexican drug cartels. It is a float in a Norfolk, Nebraska Independence Day parade that poked fun at Obama:

Zitat

The department sent a member of its Community Relations Service team, which gets involved in discrimination disputes, to a Thursday meeting about the issue. Also at the meeting were the NAACP, the Norfolk mayor and The Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

The Odd Fellows organized the parade. One of the floats included a zombie-like mannequin standing near an outhouse labeled “Obama Presidential Library.”

The float’s creator, Dale Remmich, has said the mannequin depicted himself, not President Barack Obama. He said he is upset with the president’s handling of the Veterans Affairs Department.

“Looking at the float, that message absolutely did not come through,” said Betty C. Andrews, the president of NAACP branches in Iowa and Nebraska.

Evidently the float is being investigated for being “racist,” which does not even begin to pass the laugh test — as if it would be any business of the federal government even if the float did have anything to do with race. What sort of free country allows bureaucrats to dictate what jokes can be told?

The objective is to criminalize making fun of Obama — or at the very least to intimidate anyone who may consider doing it. The Regime knows that ridicule is a potent defensive weapon against tyrants.
