Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, February 12, 2010

Conservative bloggers are upset that in a storyline about white supremacists, the Captain America comic book includes among their group a protester holding the sign, "Tea Bag the Libs Before They Tea Bag You." "When I was a child in the '60s Captain America was my favorite superhero," said Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips. "It's really sad to see what has traditionally been a pro-America figure being used to advance a political agenda."

Marvel is a bunch of pussies. They should have told the teabaggers exactly where to dangle their cojones.

Let me se if I've got this straight. The teabaggers are pissed because a cartoon character offended a neo-nazi group? The teabaggers love neo-nazis.

Wonder what percentage of them are neo-nazis? Anybody?

Every time I think about the teabagger movement, they remind me of a disgruntled postal worker.

Every time I think about the teabagger movement, I think of the scene in the movie 'O Brother Where Art Thou' with the elaborately choreographed cross burning.

Whiny PC righties.

I'll bet you do!

It cracks me up that you people suck this sweal up like pigs at the corporate media trough.
The Tea Party movement was origenally a Ron Paul, We Are Change grass roots orginization.
Now it has been highjacked by the likes of Sarah Palin, and Glen Beck.
Corrupted, and perverted to lead the sheeple back into the right left paradigm sheep pin.

A Comics thread?

Sweeeeeeet! ^_^

FTA: Quesada then went on to say that Marvel would "apologize for and own up to" a series of "stupid mistakes" that led to them "accidentally identifying" one of the members of the protest group "as being a part of the Tea Party instead of a generic protest group." He explained that they were on deadline to get the issue to the printer for publication, and in the course of sending it off it was noticed that the signs in the scene contained no words or phrases. He said the editor then asked the letterer to "fudge in some quick signs" and that in the "rush to get the book out of the door," the letterer "looked on the net and started pulling slogans" from signs captured in photographs at Tea Party protests in order to make them appear "believable."

So Marvel took something from real life put in a comic and now the people who carry those signs are whining?

Lawls!

The fact that the tea baggers are angry and mostly white and that they do have neo-nazis and other racists amongst are apparently verboten to point out.

Funny, funny stuff.

Be Well.

For some reason this whole thing reminds me of the anti-Obama protester who took an assault rifle to a protest, and the story was immediately that of a racist who hates the president cuz he's black. Until of course, we found out later the protester was also black. Silly libs and their inclination to play the race card at every turn.

So I read the article and saw the complaint by Judson Phillips about Marvel's "non apology apology". I realize the article is a week or so old but found it entertaining. Keep thinking of you guys who claim the Tea Party movement is getting stronger by the day and watch out for November.

It seems just as likely you'll get tired of being played and wander off.

www.aolnews.com

"For the past month, Phillips has been paddling furiously on his own behalf. Though Sarah Palin is still slated to headline his $549-per-ticket powwow at the Nashville Opryland Hotel, Republican congresswomen Michele Bachmann and Marsha Blackburn have pulled out over concerns about Phillips' decision to run his Tea Party Nation group as a for-profit enterprise that plowed proceeds into his wife's PayPal account. Several big sponsors have also withdrawn. Phillips has offered unconvincing explanations for the set-up, dissembled about the convention being sold out (seats for Palin's keynote address on Saturday are still available for $358.71), and bellowed at the media for not trying to get his side of the story. (Rest assured, the media have tried.)"

Meanwhile, back at the super secret headquarters of Sarah Palin's Teabag central, she is just finishing up feeding a bunch of Glen Beck look-a-likes.

Sarah (tucking her mighty life-giving bosoms back in her titanium bra); 'GLENNNNNNN'!!!!

Look-a-likes; (who collectively were deeply ingrossed in picking each others noses, except for one mutant Beck look-a-like who was just spinning around in circles, singing God Bless America); 'Yes Ma'am'.

Sarah; 'Good, Good, we are almost ready to unleash them on the world. Bring me the real Glenn Beck'.

(All the look-a-likes run toward the door at the same time, forming a big churning knot of stupidity at the door)

Sarah; 'Damn, they are stupid. Wait what's that sound'?

All of the sudden the granite walls burst open and in steps Cockman, the notorious crime-fighting Gigolo who is famous for non-sequiturs. (no one knew that Cockman in real life was really a mild mannered engineer named Lipzoidial).

Cockman; 'Drop your cocks and grab your socks'!!!!

Sarah; 'Eeeeeeee, I mean, hmmmm, Cockman. You are quite a man I figured you would be COMING sooner or later'.

Cockman; 'oh yea, you and whose army'?

Suddenly Sarah launches into a torch song so sexy that it causes Cockman to spew his corrosive Jism all over Sarah, and causing Cockman to shout out 'WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM'!

Tune in next week for our exciting conclusion....same Cock Time, same Cock Channel.

This just helps reinforce the notion that Conservatives, Libertarians and Republicans claim the media and Hollywood are in the tank for the Government the left and the Democrats.

"It cracks me up that you people suck this sweal up like pigs at the corporate media trough."

It cracks me up that you haven't moved passed being such a tired cliche.

"sweal"??

As in "the squeaky sweal gets the grease"?

"All's sweal that ends sweal"?

But enough of this swill...

I don't know why Marvel felt the need to apologize. Teabaggers aren't really much into reading, they're afraid they may learn something.

I learned a lot from reading comics when I was younger. One thing most importantly, working together for the good of mankind.

-The Tea Party movement was origenally a Ron Paul, We Are Change grass roots orginization.

Ron Paul used what he called "tea parties" as donor gatherings..... not as a "movement" called the Tea Party.

That's more of a Dick Armey et al AstroTurf instead of grassroots movement.

Sounds like the lib teabagees wil have some iron nuts to gnaw on.

some iron nuts to gnaw on.

Perhaps TX needs to look at them for textbook material.

dok, I guess your dainty sack is safe then.

For all you tea party bashers, gave fun now.

Lip, Are you joking or just being an idiot?

Do you have a link proving this?

Also, Lip, do you realize that the Libs, afraid of the influence of the Tea Party has made this lie up so that idiots like you would spread it?

#10 | Posted by Lipzoidial

LOL!!!!!!

I have never seen anything more pathetic! You are getting your jokes from Keith Obermann.

Lip, do you realize how many people are laughing at you?

Do you do this in public????

Oh, yeah, you probably do this on your College campus.

Grow up asshole! The real Americans are waking up and taking over.

It's really sad to see a successful and educated person cave in to the likes of Keith Obermann for a cheap laugh. Or, worse, he really believes it!

Sad to see talent like this slip into the fringes of delusion.

The "Tea Party" Convention last week was an overwelming success.

It was televised and was a popular event!

Ted, and the world saw how average Americans came together and talked about how the government is growing out of control.

They didn't see Nazis and back-wood rednecks carrying guns!

They say average Americans who were concerned about how the government is growing out of control.

The "Tea Party Movement" is growing.

in your case then..maybe it would help if you were to broaden your current event horizen a little further than chris matthews or olberman.

"They didn't see Nazis and back-wood rednecks carrying guns!"

Big change from previous Teabagging get-togethers. There's this catch, though: most of them probably couldn't afford the steep admission price.

Hollywood are in the tank for the Government the left and the Democrats.

Ronnie Reagan, Sonny Bono, Fred Thompson, FOX.

Yup, one big left-wing conspiracy.

"Sonny Bono"

Oh, where are the political giants of yesteryear?

DETHSPUD: "The fact that the tea baggers are angry and mostly white and that they do have neo-nazis and other racists amongst are apparently verboten to point out."

I love stereotypes; that's why I always picture/describe all you liberals as a bunch of effete wussies [the Alan Alda's and Phil Donahues' of the world] :)

Yaaaaawn.

Captain America has also been presented engaging in some fairly fascistic--or at least jingoistic--behaviors over the years. I have never heard of anyone protesting the characterization. For much of the run, he was the government's tool--a true patriot, yes, but not a freethinker. It's hardly out of character to have him scoff at those who appear radical.

And again, yaaaawn. This is even dumber than the Avatar arguments.

'Nuff said!

Do you actually have an opposing argument that is real?

I suppose this means that Disney's purchase of Marvel is not going to change the company after all. Thank G-d.

It was harmless, but good on Marvel to apologize.

FF for #10 | Posted by Lipzoidial, if for no other reason than it twisted the shit out of Eddie's panties.

Sorry to disappoint you Eddie, I've been a professional engineer for 30 years come august. What do you do (snickers)?

Alka-Seltzer, You know that I am eminently qualified to be an expert on wingunt teabaggers. I was raised in Baptistville Alabama and I currently live in Texas. I spend all my days listening to some fool or the other (usually one of my family members or work colegues) extolling the virtues of the talibaptist teabagger movement.

And it is also irksome to listen to limosine liberals and academic elitist too.

"...used to advance a political agenda that doesn't match-up with our notion of 'pro-America'."

QQ

Oh shit!!!

The TeaBaggers are going to put a Jihad on marvel comic books!!!

I can see it now: Captain America being burned in effigy while the crowd screeches death to "Marvel 'Commie' books"!...

Oh the HUMANITY!!!

#8 the president cuz he's black. Until of course, we found out later the protester was also black.
i have no idea if the protester you speak of is a racist.

racism exist independently of "color" and "color on color".

ROFLMAO, thanks Lipz.

#31 | Posted by kanrei at 2010-02-12 01:26 PM

I partly disagree. It was harmless, but Marvel shouldn't have apologized. Why the fuck is this country getting so PC? The writer obviously has a little Obamatard in him. (C.A.'s rebirth in 2009 anyone?) That's fine, and it makes sense that he would take a shot at the tea baggers. So why the fuck do we demand he apologize? Why expect a writer to not write in a way that reflects their opinions?

Actually, I think it's cool when comics, movies, etc.. try to incorporate current events in their stories. The tea bagger protest in C.A. is actually pretty brilliant, even if I disagree with the obvious race card being played.

#37 | Posted by ichiro at 2010-02-12 06:52 PM

Very true and an interesting point. There was no reason to believe he was racist even before or after we saw his skin color, but that didn't stop the Obamatards from making assumptions before the fact was known!

#20
Eddie, you're being sarcastic?

you did see Tancredo's "convention" opening? just to name one link.

#23 The "Tea Party Movement" is growing.

"swelling" maybe is more like it. take a good epsom-soak until you can get laid.

If is "swells" for more than 4 hours you should see your doctor.

As the first commentator states:

"Marvel is a bunch of pussies. They should have told the teabaggers exactly where to dangle their cojones."

So true, so true. You see the Teabaggers (ooooooh are they offended by 'teabagger'?) .. the teabaggers like to dish it out but they can't take it.

That comic is accurate in it's depictions of Tea party gatherings and Marvel Comics ought to be compelled by those of us who see through their (Tea party teabaggers) shallowness to withdraw it's low crawling to such asinine accusations. If Marvel is worried about a lose of business to teabaggers there's more of us than them by a long shot.

I was raised in Baptistville Alabama

Where I live here in Alabama, Churchofchriston, is even more backward.

Hmm... I'm thinking it's those who were offended that were the pussies.

Why would anyone care what a bunch of pasty white boys who butt-bang each other while playing Halo until wee hours in the morning think? Since when did this small and yet strange part of the population every really matter?

Who reads comic books anymore but a bunch of 40 year virgins who play "whack-a-mole" 3 times a day? No body that matters gives a shit what's written in a comic book... so go fuckyerself.
