Marvel Comics’ depiction of anti-tax protesters inspires anger, apology
Posted on 12. Feb, 2010 by John Fife in Politics
Since 1941, Captain America has been one of the most popular comic book characters around. The fictional super-patriot fought Nazis during World War II, took on those who burned the American flag during the Vietnam era, and raked in hundreds of millions of dollars for Marvel Comics along the way. Now, the appearance that he is taking on the Tea Party Movement in a storyline about investigating white supremacists has forced Marvel to apologize for the comic hero.
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 African-American 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.”
Of course, dismiss the grievances of poor / working class whites as hate, racist, supremacist, etc. Typical non white rabbit tactics.
Why didn’t Captain America and his Negro sidekick take on the New Black Panther Party at the Philadelphia polling station in Nov. 2008 when they intimidated white voters with billy clubs?
Eric Holder and the Justice dept. sure did nothing about it.
More ZOG garbage. Marvel is owned by Disney now…’nuff said.
Marvel Comics have always played the Pro-white-genocide game. Just do not buy any more Marvel comics, don’t do business in ant store that carries Marvel Comics.
Where is Red Skull when we need him?
There’s nothing wrong in the comic, if people are offended by facts then there just stupid.
The ZOG always knows better than the working class. Why can’t we just so our Jewish masters more respect. Oh, wait we are men that is why.
