Tea Partiers Depicted As Crazy Angry Racists In Captain America Comic

I guess it takes a comic book to tell the truth about the Tea Party movement. While Fox News and the right wing media have overlooked the conspiracy minded, white supremacist, militia based wing of the Tea Party movement, it takes Marvel Comics to bring that attention to the mainstream. Here’s what Yahoo News wrote about the comic book.

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.”

The Falcon mentions that the gathering appears to be “some kind of anti-tax protest” and notes that “this whole ‘hate the government’ vibe isn’t limited to the Watchdogs.” He then tells Captain America that he doesn’t think their plan will work because “I don’t exactly see a black man from Harlem fitting in with a bunch of angry white folks.” Captain America then explains that his plan entails sending The Falcon in among the group posing as an IRS agent under the thinking that a black government official will most certainly spark their anger.
