What is being characterized as hateful and raciest is ridiculous. I have been attending the 4th of July celebration in Huntsville for over 25 years and have never seen or heard anything that even comes close to what was described by the Ogden Standard Examiner. I was at the parade on the 4th and saw the float. It was funny, not insulting or racist. Those who were offended are most likely the same ones that just love SNL and all the parodies they did on every past president. They are the same ones who love Bill Maher and his hateful, racist, and offensive remarks. For the Standard Examiner to report the story as they did is shameful, irresponsible, and just plain wrong. The only thing more outrageous than how it was reported is the response of a very small minority who could care less about fairness, public expression, political satire, or the facts. It seems to me that every nation on earth that is, or was, led by some fanatical despot would be the first to stand in line with them and cry foul. It seems they would like us to be more like Nort

It was obvious that an individual contacted the paper, gave them inaccurate and biased information, and then reported it as if they were actually there reporting on the invent firsthand. Not only is this poor reporting, it is intellectually dishonest.

I was also saddened that other news outlets were so willing to pick up the ball and run with the story without first verifying the accuracy of the story.

It appears that accountability and accuracy are sacrificed for financial gain.

An apology is the least that they can do. My family and I were at this parade and of the hundreds of people around us when this entry went by only a few were not laughing and clapping. It was political satire, it's freedom of speech. Hopefully this small town tradition will be able to continue and bring joy to many in the following years despite this blight.

The article was completely inaccurate. As a resident of Huntsville I attend the Huntsville 4th of July parade every year, it is a home town parade with a hometown atmosphere. It was very poor reporting and judgement on the Standard Examiners part to allow Hyatts article to be published at all. If you are going to report on something, you need more that one side of the story. Very disappointing. We will be cancelling our subscription and going with a different newspaper, one who can report accurate events.

Too bad we can never get the truth from any mainstream form of news reporting. Since the truth can usually be found on the internet, you can bet it won't be long before it becomes "controlled". Oh, that's right, Pres. Obama just signed a bill that will allow him to do just that. You say you missed that on the news? That's because the news failed to report it. Look it up on the net. The story is there.

You can always count on the racist card being played when the unpleasant truth is told about this president.

The pride and family fun missing in so much of our country is always there in Huntsville. Families having fun and celebrating being an American...stop the hate mongering and bring back the pride.
