Marvel Comics: Captain America Says Tea Parties Are Dangerous and Racist

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.

As a kid I was an avid Comic book reader.

I never liked Captain America.

Superman, Batman, The Black Hawks, They were my books.

I lliked the Disney Comic, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse. Back when Walt Disney was running things.

How many kids actually read comics anymore? I would say that most comic book collectors and readers are over 30 years old. Marvel is only insulting most of their readers.

Such fools. When people read fiction it’s becuase they want an escape from reality, they don’t want to be reminded of politics.

I think that I read somewhere that it was Stan Lee that insisted .. in the filming of Spiderman that .. “Truth, Justice and the American way” be changed to .. “Truth, Justice and .. All That Stuff”.

Ol’ Supe came here to Earth in 1938. He should have made mincemeat out of the Germans and the Japs, no atomic bomb needed. Wha’ hoppened, huh?

Yeah, but he came here as a baby, even if he was a really tough baby. Would you really want a 2 or 3 year old killing krauts and japs?

Also, it is my understanding that, originally, Superman wasn't nearly as powerful as he is now. At first he could over jump over buildings - now he can fly. And before he could withstand blasts up to a Howitzer, but now he can take a nuclear blast and laugh.

June, 1938 was when the first grown up Superman appears. He would have come to earth in the 19-teens.

That is correct. The explanation of his powers changed, too. At first he was just an evolutionarily advanced Kryptonian transplanted to Earth. Then Earth's weaker gravity was used to explain his super-strength. Then they threw in Earth's yellow sun super charging him(which didn't explain his ability to fly through solar systems at near light speeds).

He eventually developed a "code against killing", which would crimp his style in war time. But in the war ... check out this cover:

According to DC, Hitler had a supernatural artifact called “The Spear of Destiny” that repelled superhumans.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Exactly. Looks like The Cap’ has become a mouthpiece for Marvel’s and Stan Lee’s Lib loving pablum.

[who knows what evil?]

Thor USED to kick commie ass way back in the early 60’s...Radioactive Man was Red Chinese...

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Last summer’s march sure messed with liberal’s heads.

They should go live in Europe. It’s much nicer there.

Captain America? The real Captain America, Randy Couture didn’t say that.

That was the last 'Superman' flick, and that 'change' angered a lot of people...box office was tepid, at best.

That's pretty weak. Superman, Flash or Green Lantern could have worked around that the same woy the original Green Lantern had to work around wooden weapons.

Supes could have dropped a munition or a paratrooper on Hitler's head without coming near the spear. What did Hirohito have, the "Cone of Silence?"

Captain America is a Marvel Comic. Marvel Comics is owned by Disney. I don’t think much more needs to be said about who side Captain America is on.

marvel and disney both suck

Marvel Comics: Captain America Says Tea Parties Are Dangerous and Racist

yeah right losers

[ruination]

Was Stan Lieber a red diaper baby? That would make sense.

[plinyelder]

I stand corrected.

Geeze .. I guess DC is on board with the PC Crap too!

(Sorry everyone for posting spurious information)

Thanks who knows what evil?

Waaaay back in the 70s when I was a youngster, Steve Rogers had a stint as a character named Nomad because he discovered (first-hand) that the leader of an organization called the Secret Empire -- which was hell-bent on making the U.S. into a dictatorship -- was none other than the occupant of the White House at the time.

Yah. That's right. The leader of the evil Secret Empire was none other than Richard M. Nixon.

Not to mention that one of the biggest criminal organizations in Marvel Comics back in the 70s was a fictional oil company -- Roxxon Oil.

You're absolutely right. Marvel Comics has been publishing leftist drivel like this for a looong time.

Wow. The America-hating Left sure loves the government of the country they hate so much.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Haven’t all the mainstream comic books turned Left long ago?
