Why is the American left so threatened by dissent to the point they have to demonize it? Why are they unable to deal with the substance of the arguments made by anti-tax, tea party folks instead of just demeaning them? No wonder liberalism remains out of the mainstream. It's adherents are too immature to really compete effectively.

Could this be where Fatso Meghan McCain got her idea that tea party protestors are racist? From reading comic books? As vapid as she is, it wouldn’t suprise me. It’s probably all she’s capable of reading.

As of September 2009, Marvel is now a part of the Disney empire. Enough said.

This isn’t the first time.

I think Marvel is losing a lot of its audience over this.

I don’t know how widely this is out there though.

Because they are the haters. They can't stand protest, they won't put up with those who dare to challenge their Establishment views. They think they're right about everything. Liberals demonize us because it's easier to use name calling and scare tactics than to listen to what we're saying...

We’re spending ourselves into oblivion. Socialism doesn’t work. See the history of the last century. Tax cuts do work.

As we continue to pile up debt and raise taxes, we are relegating this country to second-class status. No more innovation. No more creativity. We will stagnate.

If I had been Marvel...I would have been more careful about political ‘scripts’. The movie Captain America has been discussed for a couple of years and supposed to be produced soon...but in this case...if half of America refused to attend because of this stupid comic...then they shot themselves in the foot.

I remember a Captain America comic where he took on some white supremacists. During the fight a fire broke out and Captain America turned from fighting them, to rescuing them from a burning building. When they were all out on the street Captain America turned to go back into the building; “everyone is out!” someone told him. “No. SHE is still up there!” and he went back up; only to burst out of the window carrying down the U.S. flag that would have otherwise gone up in smoke. An image that will stay with me forever, now tarnished by the new Captain America being a big flaming liberal.

Issue 602 of the comic features Captain America investigating a right-wing anti-government militia group called "the Watchdogs".

Where do I sign up?

There’s no such thing as a “happy liberal”. To be a liberal, you must be miserable and hate. You wake up hating. You spend all day hating. You go to bed hating. And you dream of hate all night long..................

That would be one of those movies I would have to see, but given this latest news I'd wait for it on Blue Ray and not visit the Box Office. If Marvel steps out of line again I think I'll just let their products hit the discount bin before viewing.

I can be patient. :)

Got that right. I know several people who used to be die-hard marvel subscribers. But they left several years ago already. The last straw was Thor making fun of an obviously Catholic Church and it’s priest.

I've given up on comic books.

It happened when I was about 13.

I can see why comic book artists and readers are Obama supporters though. If you live in a comic book world you'll believe Obama.

I dont live in a comic book world but I buy comics. I have known for a VERY LONG TIME that Marvel is a lefty publisher. Many years ago, there was one issue of X-men where Storm prevented to destroy the Sentinels because...there was a Prius on the street.

I wish I was making that up. DC comics tries it’s best to tow the line and my liberal radar is always up, believe me. Recently, Special Forces’ comics became one of my faves because they unapologetically draw and tell the story of big boobed blonde SF soldiers in the Middle east killing Muslim terrorists in the “dumb blonde mode’.

The reason is simple, they worship envy, which is nothing more than hating all things good.

Next time you have a long conversation with a liberal, if it is possible, count the number of times the say, “I hate....”.....................
