Marvel Comic’s Captain America is the mightiest soldier with the super powerful secret soldier formula that makes him a super man. Sadly, this muscle bound hero that took on the whole Nazi army during WWII seems to be afraid of those American people who’ve joined the Tea Party movement. Not only is Cappy quaking in his little red booties, but he’s sure that the Tea Party folks are dangerous racists, too.
Isn’t it wonderful that a decades old American comic book hero is now being used to turn readers against our very political system, being used to slander folks that are standing up for real American principles in real life — and one called “Captain America” at that?
In issue number 602 of Captain America, a new story line has begun called “Two Americas.” In it the current Captain (there have been a few of them, apparently) is on the trail of a faux Captain America that is mentally deranged and getting chummy with some white supremacist, anti-government, survivalists types going by the name of “the Watchdogs.” While investigating this subversive group, Captain America and his partner The Falcon — a black super hero — have decided to try and infiltrate the secretive organization.
In preparation for the infiltration, Marvel Comics depicts the two super heroes out of costume and observing from a rooftop a street filled with what can only be described as a Tea Party protest. The scene shows crowds of people in city streets carrying signs that say, “stop the socialists,” “tea bag libs before they tea bag you,” and “no to new taxes.” Naturally, the people in these crowds are depicted as being filled with nothing but white folks.
The black character asks the out of costume Captain, “What the hell is this?” And follows that with, “looks like some kind of anti-tax protest.” The Falcon character then snidely tells his partner the Captain, “So I guess this whole ‘hate the government’ vibe around here isn’t limited to the Watchdogs.”
The two then discuss their plan to infiltrate the subversive group that Marvel comics seems to be linking to the Tea Party movement. This discussion culminates in The Falcon wondering how a black man would do such a thing. “I don’t exactly see a black man from Harlem fitting in with a bunch of angry white folks,” he tells the incognito Captain America.
The Captain tells him, “no it’s perfect… this all fits right into my plan.” After this we find that the Captain’s plan is to send the black man into a redneck bar to pretend to be a black man working for the IRS and to get everyone all mad… because… well, you know that every white person is a racist that hates black civil servants, right?
So, there you have it, America. Tea Party protesters just “hate the government,” they are racists, they are all white folks, they are angry, and they associate with secretive white supremacist groups that want to over throw the U.S. government.
Bet you didn’t know that when you were indulging your right as a citizen to protest your government that you were a dangerous white supremacist that wants to destroy the country, did you? Bet you didn’t realize that your reverence for the U.S. Constitution was a subversive thing to do, did you? And I’ll also bet that you never imagined that you’d scare the little blue panties off of Captain America!
Nice going Marvel Comics. Thanks for making patriotic Americans into your newest super villains.
How dare they portray tea partiers as traitors when they are really true patriots.
Marvel Comics are published for America’s Obama-voting loons. They can’t read so they look at the pictures.
Captain Obama is closer to the truth!
I remember the disgustingly horrid Obama comics and plates that were seen at stores.
This is the culmination of extreme and coordinated outside foreign interest funding that knows how to manipulate a freedom based society. We allow freedom of speech and have built a nation on that merits, it does have a weakness though, it can be a two edged sword.
It would appear to me that there should be a counter to this, but then again I don’t go out of my way to read or buy comic books.
It's a graphic novel.
Which is a comic book for those puttin' on airs about the fact can't read to gud and need lots of pictures.
Anyway, one more traitorous outfit exposed.
Marvel is going to cut their own throats....
Now that zero wants to do away with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, how long do you think it will be before Captain America finally comes out of the closet?
When the magazines went leftist, I quit reading magazines.
When the movies went leftist, I stopped watching movies.
I quit reading comics years ago, but to do this to Capt. America?!? The left makes fun of Capt. America because of his name and costume. Can’t the leftist bastards leave us just ONE cultural icon that isn’t a leftist?
The good side of all this is that as the left makes all pop culture hostile to us, we can retreat back to our God, guns, family, and work—and leave the rest of the useless crap to the left and it’s mindless, tattooed, pierced, and uneducated followers. We will succeed while their culture of failure deepens.
When the liberals/progressives/communists/democrats demonstrate violently in the streets, democracy is good.
When those who disagree with liberal policies protest in the streets, peacefully, democracy is not good; it is evil and subversive and considered an unhealthy manifestation of Nazism, racism and nastiness.
(liberals are smart, conservatives are stupid nazis... liberals are smart, conservatives are stupid nazis....liberals are smart, conservatives are stupid nazis....repeat when necessary.)
IMHO
FUCA
Seems to be trying to suggest that black Tea Partiers are infiltrators.
What a load.
....that's what helped two Nazis, Hitler and Obama, come to power in Germany and the United States respectively.
Does anybody read marvel comics anyomre?
I don’t see any racism in the crowd depicted in the comic. I don’t even see any personal attacks or hateful rhetoric. Where is the violence and hate?
I’m happy to know that the democrats’ base is reading something at least.
Now, if they can just be encouraged to read cereal boxes and the list of ingredients in their salty, high fat snacks, we might be on the way to promoting literacy.
*Michelle Obama would approve this message. High fat means fat children!
Looks to me like Marvel is trying to stir up some hate themselves. After all it does seem like a pretty strong attempt to portray black tea partiers as infiltrators.
Forgive my doubts but I don’t think Lloyd Marcus is an infiltrator.
The dude in the foreground of the upper right panel looks like Richard Petty.
