‘Great idea! Holding a sign that says “I’m Captain AMERICA, where else would I be?”’
Have it written on his hand so when he goes to shake the Palinator’s hand all of the press will get great photos of it!

Chickenhawk was also a homosexual term that was used to slur the supporters of the war in Iraq. It means a man that preys on boys.

Well, to be honest, just how many weekly comics can you get from that? I’m thinking maybe 20-30 weeklies before it runs stale.

MOst tea bagging that I have heard of, is not so much gay as a frat boy stunts where they get a noob/pledge drunk and passed out and then someone lowers their testicles on his head/face and take a picture of the noob to show him when he is sober.....

Franken was an SNL writer going back to 1975. he was one of the worst writers....and his Franken and Davis skits were embarrassingly insipid.

wow, I didn’t know about all that -— makes me feel so “out of it” but maybe in a good way!
I’ve heard/seen the expression “tea bagger” used with vehemence and derision by liberals recently but I had no idea it had anything other than the obvious political meaning
so aren’t liberals supposed to LOVE “tea baggers”???
how can they turn the expression into such a perjorative?? :^)

It’s the same as when Arsenio used to say Rush was gay to the audience’s delight. And? So? Isn’t that a plus?

Amazes me that performers, artists, all the way up news and entertainment companies continue to Dixie-Chick themselves into oblivion.

how can they turn the expression into such a perjorative?? Same way that they now tell kids that saying "That's so GAY" is "hurtful" and they should "knock it off." Hey, "gay" is THEIR term — they appropriated it in the first place — to replace other "hurtful" terms, I might point out.
It's like this: if you take a fine china pitcher and use it to carry raw sewage, guess what? It becomes a sewage container.

Tea bag is derogative The origin of the term "Tory", meaning a member of the Conservative Party in the UK, is the Irish word tóraidhe, or outlaw. Being an Irish term, it also implied, in 17th Century England, that a Tory was a crypto Roman Catholic. The "Whig" of both the UK and American Whig parties came from "whiggamore" or cattle driver. Both parties eventually adopted for themselves a label that had begun as a term of abuse.

According to to Mr. Quesada, the book was ready to go to printer, but the panel in question had a group of protesters handling signs with no words on them, so the editor asked the letterer to "fudge in" some quick believable slogans at the last minute. The letterer referred to this sign as a sample to work from. Always glad to help the comic strip guys out!

Remember when Captain America fought Nazis, not Americans. Remember when Tony Stark fought Communists in Viet Nam, not renegade American businessmen. Remember when America was portrayed as the morally upright country founded on freedom for you. Oh how the times ( or owners of the comix) have changed. Oh, I can do better than that:
