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.

PARENTS, BE AWARE OF WHAT COMIC BOOKS YOUR KID IS READING! HOW INSIDIOUS CAN THE ANTI-AMICANS BE! OUR KIDS HAVE IT COMING AT THEM FROM EVERY ANGLE. IT’S TIME THE CONSTITUTION LOVING, SMALL GOVERNMENT WRITERS GOT INTO THE COMIC BOOK WRITING BUSINESS! AND LET US PRAY THEY WON’T HAVE TO BE SELF PUBLISHING!
So our liberal heroes are trying to infiltrate a right-wing extremist, wacko, fringe kook, evil militia group that's no doubt also racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. Why, they probably don't even recycle! Gee...I guess it can only happen in Idaho, eh? I love this state, if for no other reason that our very existence scares the hell out of the pants-wetting CommieLibs!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Bingo! Capn “America” has gone socialist, just like GI Joe went UN.
These idiots are going to kill their golden goose with this leftdolt bias, just like the LSM has...

I Remember one from the mid 1980s in which the monster had a silhouette profile of Ronald Reagan.
I think it fairly clear that the politics of Brubaker is socialist federalism, hence the attack on anti-socialist believers in the Constitutional Republic, with limited government, and checks and balances.
His notion that the election turns the Constitution up side down is mistaken, albeit is in grave danger, of course. But this socialist needs to know that the election of "the One"...and indeed, the entire RAT majority, was under false pretenses, such that a number of RINOs cheerfully voted for him under the clear delusion that he was much more moderate than the radical his history...and books... clearly indicated he was.
Hence, there was never any legitimate mandate for his communist agenda to be implemented. The only time he would declare his real agenda was in front of friendly pro-communist audiences when he didn't think there were any cameras or adverse coverage to be worried about.
And when anyone dared utter the word "socialist" against him...he and his entire machine launched vendettas against them...ala' Joe the Plumber.
Captain America was the original American super hero who fought against NAZI’s and commies.
His character was a inspiration to rally public support against commies and nazis.
As a comic collector and a purist of the comic book era, the quality of comic content after about 1973 has diminished to the point of not worth collecting.
It’s not unusual for even older comics touching on issues like drug abuse, war, and personal struggles. But political hits against fellow patriotic Americans is unacceptable.
Anyone who would put Captain America or the Falcon, or any other super hero to the bashing of Americans, and especially white conservatives, should be outraged.
But knowing that Disney now owns Marvel, we will probably be exposed to a gay Superman or Wonder Woman. It’s how Disney rolls.
Don’t the writers realize that metros don’t read Marvel, but rather traditional value types
Originally, Captain America fought socialists (National Socialist Party of Germany), but now I guess he fights FOR socialists.
Stan Lee supported Hitlery and Bill.He’s the renowned comicbook artist.
Obama’s error is that he is on record saying that his popularity is dropping because he’s NOT getting his message out.
WRONG.
He was voted with a publicity campaign short of details but “high on promise”. “It’s historic”, “CHANGE”, “HOPE”, “Hollywood and hipsters adore me”.
The Left and Right are unfavorable of Obama’s first year for different reasons. This was also true of Bush’s low approval numbers but the media didn’t ever bring it up.
Now that the public has gotten a taste of what “CHANGES” he is bringing and his perpetual trash talking of this nation and no turn around in the economy, he is tanking among the “middle” crowd.
Writer. And he’s a figurehead in name only.
Where can one buy a comic book?
I haven’t seen a display of them in years...
Another addition to his back story: communist sympathy. They had Cap’s mom lose her house when he was a teenager, and the local communists help them move. Just a nice bunch of helpful people getting a bad rap from “the man”.
