Marvel to Edit Explicit "Tea Bag" Reference from Captain America Comic, But Leave In Everything Else Indicating These "Anti-Tax" White Protesters are Dangerous Racists, So You Should Be Appeased, You Stupid Teabagging Racist BastardsWow... They're removing two words and leaving the rest of the clear implication that Tea Partiers are racist revolutionary trash aligned with murderous racist survivalist-type groups. 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. The "teabaggers," the article notes, are not appeased. That particular sign may have been added by a letterer, but that letterer did so because it was crystal clear what the writer intended. I sort of doubt this writer was "shocked" to see the word in the comic. All the letterer did (assuming it was his insertion) was make explicit what the writer clearly implied. Apology unaccepted. Compare: Chuck Todd of MSNBC is hopping mad that Bill Sammon of Fox said that the media "hates the tea partiers almost as much as Sarah Palin." Total lie, Todd says. And besides -- gee, that's only the opinionistas who hate the Tea Partiers! The "straight reporters" apparently love them. It's just this weird complete disconnect between reporters and commentators in the media on this issue. Here's a straight reporter: And speaking of straight reporters (ahem), Anderson Cooper thinks it's pretty funny to make "teabagger" jokes about Tea Partiers. But -- you know. Straight (ahem) reporters love the tea partiers and stuff. There has been a longstanding claim by reporters, disputing that they are liberally biased. Sure, they concede, we tend to be liberal on social issues, but on fiscal matters, we're moderate or conservative, and thus are biases offset. See, we're really centrist moderate independents. Well, the Tea Party Movement is an expressly fiscal-conservative movement, and we see how "moderate or conservative" these straight (ahem) reporters are on such matters, don't we? | Recent Comments
