Why is it OK to…

• Release a movie implying that Republicans are secretly conspiring to overthrow the United States Government,
  
• Use a Richard Nixon mask as a movie prop by criminals, robbers, and a dead body,
• Let an ax-wielding serial killer wear a Ronald Reagan mask in a horror movie,
• Run a commercial during a late night talk show looking for hit men to target George W. Bush,
• Create a movie about George W. Bush’s assassination going unsolved,
  
• Show George W. Bush’s head shown on a pike in a television series (it was really only an “inadvertent, careless mistake“).
• Place a George W. Bush mask on a rodeo clown,
• Allow a late night talk show host to use a George W. Bush malapropism as a comedic prop on a regular basis for years,
• Permit an online magazine tracking and publishing every single George W. Bush malapropism, even after the end of his presidential term,
• Have Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama wear an Obama mask in a late night comedy show skit, 
• Release a movie about a heavily-armed rouge paramilitary group of right-wing conservatives and White Supremacists attempting a coup on a black President of the United States (“who is totally NOT Barack Obama“),

BUT, when there is…

• A Barack Hussein Obama mask on a rodeo prop it’s an insensitive, racially-divisive, reputation-tarnishing hate crime the NAACP demands should be investigated by the Federal Government?

Perhaps another (in)famous leader already provided the answer to this question (which is admittedly rhetorical, although you’re welcome to comment below):

“The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; a scaffolding behind which there is no building.”  - Benito Mussolini
