Captain America mocks the tea-baggers

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100211/ts_ynews/ynews_ts1129

Excerpt:
Issue 602 of the comic features Captain America investigating a right-wing anti-government militia group called "the Watchdogs". Hoping to infiltrate the group, Captain America and his Black sidekick The Falcon observe an anti-tax protest from a rooftop.

The protestors depicted are all white and carry signs adorned with slogans almost identical to those seen today in Tea Party rallies like "tea bag libs before they tea bag you" and "stop the socialists."

Who knew Captain America was a big pussy?
Marvel Comics has backed down and apoligized.

Marvel Editor Joe Quesada then says Marvel would "apologize for and own up to" a series of "stupid mistakes" that led to them "accidentally identifying" one of the members of the protest group "as being a part of the Tea Party instead of a generic protest group." He explained that they were on deadline to get the issue to the printer, blah, blah, blah...

I wish some tea-baggers would have a problem with something *I* wrote. I'll show you how to stand up to those racist cowards.

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


-By Warner Todd Huston

** UPDATE ** BELOW Marvel Apologizes

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?

Captain America isn't dead! He's in suspended animation, frozen in ice when his plane crashed in Antarctica.

Obviously you don't know or you wouldn't have answered a question with a question.

No, supposedly they are going to make him retro now, and all of his future exploits will be in the 40s/50s era, but as of 2008, he was assassinated and is dead...
