Tea Party Jab to Be Zapped From Captain America Comic
A "tea bag" reference in a recent Captain America comic book that has angered the Tea Party movement will be removed by Marvel Comics in future editions, the story's writer told FoxNews.com.
In issue No. 602 of Captain America, "Two Americas, Part One," the title hero and The Falcon, a black superhero from New York City, stumble upon a protest rally in Boise, Idaho. They see scores of protesters carrying signs that say "Stop the Socialists!" and "Tea Bag The Libs Before They Tea Bag YOU!"
Captain America says the protest appears to be an "anti-tax thing," and The Falcon jokes that he likely would not be welcomed into the crowd of "angry white folks."
Ed Brubaker, who wrote the story, told FoxNews.com he did not write the "Tea Bag The Libs Before They Tea Bag YOU!" sign shown in the edition, insisting that the words were added by someone in "lettering or production" just before being shipped to the printer. It will be changed in subsequent editions, he said.
"I don't know who did it, probably someone who thought it was funny," Brubaker wrote in an e-mail. "I didn't think so, personally. That's the sign being changed to something more generic for the trade reprint, because I and my editor were both shocked to see it."
But the change may come too late to placate a chorus of critics who noticed the apparent jab at the Tea Party movement and who accused Marvel of making supervillains out of patriotic Americans.
Michael Johns, a board member of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition, said he felt the "juvenile" dig will ultimately do more damage to Marvel's brand than to the Tea Party movement. He also disputed the insinuation that the growing movement lacks diversity.
"The Tea Party movement has been very reflective of broad concerns of all Americans," Johns said. "Membership is across ethnic, religious and even political lines." Read more here.

Sorry for the repeat posts down there, folks. I hit "submit response" a few times, thinking it hadn't gotten through, or the moderator didn't like my post. Should have trusted Fox to give me voice and not hit the button so many times!

when there about lose their freeride and welfare .
Romney2012
Right wing brethren we must quit our racist acts like the one posted by 2500hd and work constructively to get our agendas like tort reform, global trade, tax cuts and abortions out of America.
Romney2012
I misspoke a little so let me clarify. No abortion. Yes to tort reform, trade and tax cuts

LIBERALS. are nothing short of domestic terriorsts
Romney2012
No they are not. They do not think like us, but they weeped as did we during the tragedy of 9/11 and they serve our great military. Although they may think differently they are still citizens and patriots. They may be confused on some of the issues, but we need to respect them because they are American.

The funny thing is that for decades liberals have had the monopoly on ALL media outlets other than talk radio. Now you have 1 only 1 outlet that still is at least 50-50 and gives both sides an opportunity to voice their views and the supporters of the left can't take it. They can't take ANY disagreement ANY criticism of ANY type. They can't handle that non-liberal/non-progressive people exist and are TIRED of being pushed around by the elitists in this nation. TIRED of being called names because they disagree with a policy. TIRED of watching the values this nation was founded on trashed. Liberals can't take it that they are only a small percentage of the population and now they don't have the bullhorn anymore and that all of their worn-out same-old ideas have been rejected.

Capt; Ok, the 'Tea Party' reference was a poor attempt at humor. But, you can't possibly be defending that post from 1776?
1776freedom
Why not? My point is that these minorities (the majority roars through our spontanious TEA movement) have been using the liberturd media for years to poison the minds of our young for their agendas for years. Capt is just showing yet another example how they poison our young, but through these government run schools (and their liberturd unions). Its a disgrace that our kids better learn our history through Mr. Beck than through the schools because they are spending time organizing the youth against our future.
It is so sad to see how far America has fallen.
Time to take the country back!

1776: That's either very tongue in cheek or you're a 'Tea Party' movement leader.

Now... which is better ?
A parent who has a student in the eleventh grade in an Ohio High School reported this. Her government class passed out this propaganda recruiting paper so students could sign up as interns for Obama's Organizing for America (OFA is the former mybarackobama.com site.)
Obama is using our public school system to recruit for his Alinsky-inspired private army. Organizing for America is (and I quote) recruiting in our high schools to "build on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda" ............of national socialism.
The Ohio High School is Perry Local in Massillon, Ohio.
This is incredible. And evil. Suffer the little children -- enlisted like SS youth. This is no accident. Obama is poisoning our public school system. He acts as if it's his own private breeding farm. Once again academic learning and achievement is hopelessly abandoned, and supplanted by radical leftist activism from the leftwing Alinsky indoctrinators in the perverse public school system.

Divided ? Obummer administration Divisive ??? Are you freakin kidding me ?
Just read the comments on all the pages listed here on Fox Nation- We are already at War with one another- They fire hate salvos at us and our people- We fire back- and on it goes- I do not think we could be more Divided as Americans right now. They are destroying our Country day by day.
This is as heated as it got before the Civil War broke out ( IF they had the internet back then) and I fear that is where we are headed. This is no longer about civil poitical discourse my friends- this is blood boiling anger at these Progressive Far Left wankers who attack us constantly on here- we are ready to meet them in Battle- for sure.
Does that make US Dangerous ???? I sure as hell hope so !
Romney2012
Why would you want to divide the union. You may not agree with your fellow Americans, but we do not resort to violence. That would be obstructing their freedom. We do our bidding at the polls. Remember Abe wanted to preserve the union.

Come on Patriot Nation- WE can get together and come up with some equally vile name for these Progressive Libturds. They just love to call us the Homo Sexual term Teabaggers- vile homo sexual practice of licking the other guy's you know what- WHY do we let these ass wipes get away with this. Enough !
Romney2012
That is a price of liberty. This practice that I disagree with I must accept. I will raise my family with good Christian values so this does not occur, but I must realize homosexuality as a cost of freedom.

When Marvel's star-spangled sentinel of liberty is calling out teabaggers, you KNOW you're on the wrong side of history, wingnuts.
Next, I guess you can expect to see a DC mag where Superman is punching a hole through Glenn Beck's chest and laying waste to Fox News HQ with his heat vision.
