The U.S. Department of Justice has sent a member of its Community Relations Service team to investigate a Nebraska parade float that criticized President Obama.Here's the float in question. Not quite up to Rose Bowl parade standards, but hey - it's Nebraska.
A Fourth of July parade float featured at the annual Independence Day parade in Norfolk sparked criticism when it depicted a zombie-like figure resembling Mr. Obama standing outside an outhouse, which was labeled the “Obama Presidential Library.”

(Cheap shot. I apologize to all the 'Huskers out there.)
Now here's a cartoon by Mike Luckovich, left-leaning editorial cartoonist, published in November 2006. It depicts an outhouse labeled “Bush Presidential Library.”
The DOJ under Bush didn't send a special representative to investigate Luckovich or the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which published the cartoon.
The message here seems to be that any criticism or mockery of obama is racist...

Good looking truck.
The outhouse isn't bad looking either.
