    Default Captain America Says Tea Parties Are Dangerous and Racist

    http://www.therealitycheck.org/?p=11294
    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.

    [...]

    In issue number 602 of Captain America, a new story line has begun called “Two Americas.” In it the current Captain (there have been a few of them, apparently) is on the trail of a faux Captain America that is mentally deranged and getting chummy with some white supremacist, anti-government, survivalists types going by the name of “the Watchdogs.” While investigating this subversive group, Captain America and his partner The Falcon — a black super hero — have decided to try and infiltrate the secretive organization.
    In preparation for the infiltration, Marvel Comics depicts the two super heroes out of costume and observing from a rooftop a street filled with what can only be described as a Tea Party protest. The scene shows crowds of people in city streets carrying signs that say, “stop the socialists,” “tea bag libs before they tea bag you,” and “no to new taxes.” Naturally, the people in these crowds are depicted as being filled with nothing but white folks.

    The black character asks the out of costume Captain, “What the hell is this?” And follows that with, “looks like some kind of anti-tax protest.” The Falcon character then snidely tells his partner the Captain, “So I guess this whole ‘hate the government’ vibe around here isn’t limited to the Watchdogs.”

    The two then discuss their plan to infiltrate the subversive group that Marvel comics seems to be linking to the Tea Party movement. This discussion culminates in The Falcon wondering how a black man would do such a thing. “I don’t exactly see a black man from Harlem fitting in with a bunch of angry white folks,” he tells the incognito Captain America.
    The Captain tells him, “no it’s perfect… this all fits right into my plan.” After this we find that the Captain’s plan is to send the black man into a redneck bar to pretend to be a black man working for the IRS and to get everyone all mad… because… well, you know that every white person is a racist that hates black civil servants, right?
    So, there you have it, America. Tea Party protesters just “hate the government,” they are racists, they are all white folks, they are angry, and they associate with secretive white supremacist groups that want to over throw the U.S. government.
    Bet you didn’t know that when you were indulging your right as a citizen to protest your government that you were a dangerous white supremacist that wants to destroy the country, did you? Bet you didn’t realize that your reverence for the U.S. Constitution was a subversive thing to do, did you? And I’ll also bet that you never imagined that you’d scare the little blue panties off of Captain America!
    Nice going Marvel Comics. Thanks for making patriotic Americans into your newest super villains.
    Is this supposed to be geared toward children? What a load of bullshit.

    Teabaggers are patriots now?
    Captain America is for kids?

    What the fuck world you live in Cedar?

    Not like Marvel is making the crap up either... (and how did a story plot about a redneck bar get twisted into a "all whites must hate all blacks" line of thought). Also like how the issues this column complains about are coming from the back character, The Falcon. Not Captian America.


    Cedar, are you competing with Lewk for the dumbass award?

    ^^Notice that question mark? That's because I wasn't sure if it was geared toward children.

    Lewk: Libruuullls are the source of all evil

    You: Tea Baggers are stupid cunts.

    Puts you in the same class. (in this case only perhaps)

    Are you attempting to use reason with a lolbertarian? Brother, that is a cause as lost as when the whale swallowed Jonah and Jonah tried to find his watch
    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    On a few things we agree.

    But on most we don't.

    I for one don't (or seriously try not to) lump people into on neat little category so I can make fun of them, or blame them for something...how about you?

    And, I like cock, he only seems to like his own.

    What? Why was it a Lewk move? I insulted political organization, Lewk also insults political organizations, therefore I'm just like Lewk?

    Oooh, I'm typing a message into a quick reply box! Lewk does that! I'm just like Lewkowski!!!1

    A "collective group"? What?

    But you managed to actually create a functioning quote of someone's post! This is entirely unlike Lewkowski...how am I supposed to correlate this with Rath's assertion that the only thing separating you from being Lewkowski may be only physical? It is truly baffling I say. Baffling!

    It's amazing how people can be purposefully dense.

    The name calling of a group is very much like Lewk. The other posting attributes Steely and Nessus have are obviously not Lewky. (Steely and Nes are usually Intelligent, witty, amusing, backed up by facts...)

    Lemme recap.

    Steely makes fun of the Tea Party as a whole, lumping them all together as stupid cunts (sound like anyone we know?)

    I chime in with that is sound a heck of a lot of Lewk level of debate. (How dare I?!!?)

    Nessus then decides to jump in and go after me by lumping in libertarians as irrational.

    Which just reinforced my point. I'll also point out that for some reason Steely and Nessus MUST use derogatory terms of political groups they do not like or agree with. So who here is really having an issue?

    When Tea Party followers are holding signs which have ignorant messages written on them, how should we characterize the people who made them and are holding them?

    A) Intelligent/Well Informed
    B) Dumb/Ignorant
    C) A Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Float

    ?

    I agree some of them are stupid. But the catch all phrases that some people here like to use is still Lewkonian.

    Do YOU think all Libertarians are irrational? (Probably not as you at least have the civility to call the Tea Party people by their name..instead of the slur started by The Garofalo on Olberman's show)

    I do so because it is just as stupid. Attempting to equate themselves with the actual people who committed what became The Boston Tea Party is disingenuous or just outright stupid.

    Let me spell this out for you...a group of people bitching that their tax money is being spent in ways they do not like, by elected officials and their programs that they did not vote for, but were still voted for by other Americans, and wanted by other Americans, is not the same as a group of people protesting taxes levied by a Monarchy in which they did not have representation, and were often forced to endure said taxes in a manner that today would be called extortion.

    On the one hand, Tea Baggers appear to be grossly mis-informed. At least the ones I'm related to are. (But that's just because his exclusive information sources are Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, the Heritage Foundation, and anonymous right wing chain emails - and no, that's not an exaggeration) But on the other hand, I can't help but be proud of them to be getting actively involved in the political process, doing protests and what not. That's democracy, folks, as practiced in the US. Fire up the grass roots with whatever you have to say to get them out there working for you.
    The Rules
    Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
    Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
    Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)

    Even cows can gather in a herd and stampede. Gathering together and shouting for a cause you dont understand isnt really all that worth being proud of.
    "Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink, because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.
