Marvel Comics' depiction of anti-tax protesters inspires anger, apology - Yahoo! News
"Issue 602 of the comic features Captain America investigating a right-wing anti-government militia group called "the Watchdogs". Hoping to infiltrate the group, Captain America and his African-American sidekick The Falcon observe an anti-tax protest from a rooftop. The protestors depicted are all white and carry signs adorned with slogans almost identical to those seen today in Tea Party rallies like "tea bag libs before they tea bag you" and "stop the socialists."
I don't think Marvel should apologize. The Tea-Baggers are a tough bunch right? They can take it. Oh wait, they can't? Figures.
I think that if your stupid enough to call yourself a 'Tea-Bagger', you deserve it.
