If anyone can identify the enemy, it’s Captain America

Via  Publius Forum:

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.

My two cents: Naturally, the writer of this post is up in arms. Because the Tea Party movement is just ordinary Americans taking to the streets expressing their views. This is why these people are making comments on this blog advocating violent overthrow of the liberal government.

Marvel Comics, in my opinion, just recognizes racism, ignorance and scapegoating for what it is.

Twenty years from now, all these people who attend these things will be embarrassed. Or their children will be.
