  • anyone lol at the "tea bag the libs before they tea bag you sign"

  • apology = free...

    a few tea people appeased = money (no matter how little)..

    do the math.

  • I THOUGHT TEABAGGERS LOVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH YET THERE BITCHING ABOUT STUPID MAROCTIC STUFF

  • it would have been fine if it was liberals...

  • @bbphnix How the fuck are Tea Party protesters "villains"? Do you think Occupy Wall Street are villains, too? That is the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard in my life. Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street are exactly the same. Some of them are actually good guys. Most of both groups are misguided, or crackpots, but NONE of them are villains. There are worse people than the Tea Party. That includes you, you ignorant scumbag.

  • Bunch of whiners.

  • They're protesting Marvel comics for maybe representing Tea Party members, but not DC Comics for having Superman revoke his American citizenship?

  • Main reason I think Mrvel ended up giving the apology is because their owned by Disney and the Captain America film comes out this summer. The House That MICKEY built hates boycotts

  • Marvel Comics has a long history of edgy moves like this and everytime someone complaigns they give the same lame excuses and promise not to do it again. It's not a lib or con thing it's a look what we did this time haha.

  • I buy comics, a lot of comics, and i am a young Hispanic republican. I think marvel did here was stupid and it's one of the reasons I read DC comics

  • The Tea Party is filled with raving nutcases. Amazing how these idiots can't tell the difference between reality & something appearing in a comic book. Marvel should not have caved on this issue. Letting the Tea partty dictate what's acceptable is anti-american. guess the Tea party must be facists based on this instance. 

  • The group who prides themselves on being tough old fashioned Americans can't take a simple parody? PC has ruined EVERYTHING!!!

  • Being a comicbook artist/writer and marvel fan myself, i have to say that Im pretty dissappointed in Marvel for not fighting for their artistic freedom and caving into politics..

  • @cwongchung Marvel is owned by the Disney Corporation now. They have to abide by what Disney says.

  • @Chaoitcme sell outs i tell ya!!

  • i love marvel comics for this.

  • Teabagers should be re-educated and be given new insights in to our cause.

  • I wish Proffesor X would mind wipe these idiot Teabaggers. Of course that would just create clean slates for Fox brainwashing.

  • teabaggers stop your bitching because you are all whinny bitch ass niggers(not insulting black people) who deserves to die in a hole. because seriously you bitch about everything is 'so' unamerican. and how 'everyone' is against america. look you guys are the unamerica, why? because you're going against marvel comics, you're going against the first amendment (freedom of speech and press which includes comicbooks.. seriously teafaggers, you're going to complain over a comicbook? get a life

  • Marvel likely caved because they wanted to avoid controversy entirely.

  • Why don't the Tea baggers like the X-men? They have awesome powers dudes.

  • lol wut

  • well... technically marvel is owned by Disney now, so that might have something to do with it....

  • I'm wondering the same thing that the Geico guy was wondering. Exactly what percentage of these Tea Party guys are mentally retarded?

  • @drob210 97%

  • Tea baggers think comic books, movies, music, TV, education, video games and everything else has a liberal bias.

  • this is so unreal, so amazingly stupid.

    its a comic book! so many things to say but there is no need, its a fucking comic book.

    idiots.

  • This is infringing on the rights to freedom of speech. When were comic books and graphic novels ever supposed to be politically correct? There's vigilanteism, blood, sex, death, BUT OH NO DON'T CALL OUT ON THE TEA PARTY, BECAUSE THAT'S JUST WRONG.

  • Did Disney really give insurance coverage to Gay couples?

  • Captain America is a symbol of freedom, not just here but all over the world! The Tea Party is a symbol of IDIOCY!

  • Comment removed

  • Both sides can kiss my ass.....pussy liberals AND brain dead conservative extremists. This guy can go jerk off with a cheese grater.

  • These teabaggers would probably demand an apology for showing them their reflections in a mirror for making them look stupid.

  • Teabaggers are stupid and should be spoofed accordingly.

  • Wolverine should fuck them up.

  • Captain America comics have been some of, if not THE most political super-hero comics ever. Cap's main archenemy is Red Skull, Nazi, Communist, etc. This wasn't a huge thing with the nazi/communist supporters when those comics came out, so why do they back down now, for these morons, just because some of the signs are the same.

  • "how many right wing asses do I have to kiss?"....priceless

  • if it was me, ida told the teabagger to to fuck off. making a political statement is pointless if you dont have the strength of conviction to stand behind it. making ART is pointless if you wont even stand behind your own work. if the corporate heads were worried about profit margins and forced the issue i would have threatened to resign. if you dont have that strength of conviction, you arent making art, and any point you make becomes shallow.

    fuck the teabaggers, fuck marvel for caving in.

  • Tea Maggots are brain dead they are brainwashed by Fox nEWS and coorporations who want Obama to fail.

  • fuck teabaggers... ignorant shitheads.

  • That is a great way for the Teabaggers to actually look at themselves & there stupidy. if i was Marvel Comics, i wouldn't have listened to the Teabaggers. Just maybe they wouldn't bring the racist foolishness to there Rallies, if they truly see how stupid they actually look to most americans. thats interesting that they cry over a comic book but they can't see the racism from Fox ,Limbaugh & the Tea party.

  • Funny, but the fact remains the average tea party member has a higher IQ and earns a higher salary than the general populace. You should take some of your welfare check and buy yourself a clue.

  • its a comic book, who really gives a shit?

  • How is a freaking PROTEST group going to get made when their beliefs are attacked?

  • To teabaggers

    FREEDOM OF FUCKING SPEECH

    your all for it till you get bashed

  • Young Turks have supposedly talked to Stan Lee at some point but I can't find the clip for it?

  • If Marvel comics did a comic book showing spiderman busting a black, heroin shooting, homosexual man for giving AIDS to 20 hookers then liberals would be outraged. If they showed Captain America shielding a policeman from violent thugs during Rodney King riots while the Hulk takes out the rioting crowd or Professor Xavier shaking hands with Ronald Regan then they would have called for Stan Lee`s resignation.

  • @konman001 Dude, pull your head out of your ass: Maybe then you'll be able to write things that make sense.

  • @konman001 almost every criminal in marvel comics is black. they attack everyone.

  • Well . . . not to be racist . . . but long time ago my father and I did an electronic wiring job at a prison. Most of the inmates there were black. Now, whether they were there for seriously big crimes or whether some of them ended up in there unjustly that I do not know. Nevertheless, we saw alot of black inmates.

  • @konman001 its not racist. im half black. but my point is that there are more black criminals than law abiding blacks and most of the characters that the hero never gets in time to save are black. and many heros have been seen praising ronald regan. its depends on the writer. this paticular writer thinks that the tea party are nothing but retoric prachers, so he put that in the comic. like him i respect right wingers, but i have no respect for tea party members.

  • Well. . .all I am saying is that reverse could happen. If Marvel posted anti-gay marriage, anti-abortion, anti-liberal agenda pages that peeve off liberals or another group then I would be having this discussion with someone else who supports the respective group or has hatred for the group on the opposite side of the fence.

  • @konman001 yes, buut they didnt. and if they did, they wouldnt be in "trouble" and stan lee wouldnt have to quit or anything.

  • my faverite is teabag the libs before they teabag you LOL

  • Anyone who uses the term "tea baggers" loses all credibility, in my opinion. I stopped listening as soon as he did.

  • @bblackmoor They call them tea baggers because they hang tea bags from their hates and sent tea bags to Obama. They even talk about "teabagging" numerous Democratic politicians. Its not a sexual reference at all.

  • @SexSteakSoda No, self-styled pundits call them "teabaggers" as a juvenile attempt to insult and belittle someone with whom they disagree. It is a contemptible tactic, and no one who stoops so low deserves the least amount of respect.

  • @bblackmoor I guess some teabaggers don't deserve respect either, considering they boosted the UN-AMERICAN campaign during Bush's terms. I know you remember a time when if you disagreed with the war you were un-American. What I'm trying to say is that each side has called the other names for years. Everybody has used labels to belittle their opposite. To act as if you are above name calling is just that...an act!

  • @raventakayama You win the prize for "Most consecutive logical fallacies in a YouTube comment". Congratulations!

  • @bblackmoor lol -_- Its the truth there are no absolutes. Every side has pointed the finger and used less than mature name calling. You disagree? Prove it.

  • What is so wrong with teabagging?

    I teabag random people all the time, after you knock them out sticking your nuts in their mouth isn't really that hard.

  • What a bunch of pathetic children. How pathetic can these morons be?

    These ignorant children are crying about a comic book...

    it's disgusting how much they act like spoiled little kids!

  • How dare they censor artwork and complain about their rights being taken away?! Fuck those bastards!

  • Why are the protesters so surprised that a Captain America comic got political? It's Captain America. Of course there's going to be social commentary.

  • is there no limit to how dumb republicans can be ?

  • Why do people want the government to keep growing? Limited power was the design from the start of our country.

  • @jdigitalseven Actually since the inception of the country there have always been two sides. The thing is, we had 8 years of the govt not doing cock shit. Why the hell would we want four more years of the same.

  • In fact a bagger had a sign that said teabag them before they teabag you. The "lefties pick up on that and started calling them teabaggers.

  • Actually, Christians were protesting Disney because of Gay Day at Disney, something that Disney did not even officially endorse or promote. It was entirely organized by a gay rights organization. Also, some were angry about magic and sorcery in Disney's films.

    It's completely stupid, I agree. People just need to calm down and think for a minute before they become like those Revolution Muslim morons, threatening people's lives over a cartoon.

  • Geez Marvel.... why would you give them something else to protest!? We're all tired of seeing them on TV and now you wanna create a new reason for them to complain?

    You better give out free IronMan2 tickets to apologize for making us watch them protest

  • As a Swede and quite interested in world politics I find the power of a new channel such as Fox News disturbing. Watching some of the clips on youtube from both sides is just mind-boggling. I'm not gonna jump on the bandwagon and call Americans stupid, every nation has it's share of morons. But what America has is a news channel that speaks to those morons and spoon feed them with disinformation. Nothing more dangerous that a scared mob of morons.

  • @Aduun

    what about others like MSNBC which will blindly propagate the democrats

  • @Aduun Actually, fox news isn't just in the US sadly. Fox is a disgrace to real journalism.

  • Everybody says the final solution to the RACE problem is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries to bring in the third world and assimilate with them. Immigration, tolerance, and especially assimilation are being used against the White race. All this immigration and intermarriage is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries. Anti-White is called anti-racist, but it leads to the disappearance of one race and only one race, the White race. It is genocide.

  • but...WHO TEABAG THE TEABAGGERS

  • I bet if Cap was fighting Arabs in that comic everything would have been fine

  • Teabaggers can't read or spell so why would marvel be worried about losing the retarded illiterate demographic? Why would that even be a profitable demographic?

  • I think people need to start standing up for themselves. Marvel should have told them to fuck off and say this was done in the name of artistic licence.

  • Don't they know that Marvel is owned by Disney now? If there was ever a conservative christian friendly company, it's Disney.

  • It sounds like he doesn't realize Disney owns Marvel.

  • The christian right was upset that Jaguar was advertising in gay magazines??? What was the christian right doing reading gay magazines???? Typical religious hypocrisy....Pretty funny though how they protest Disney..... I always thought Mickey was a little gay....

  • infringe freedom of speech

  • freedom of speech? what?

  • Marvel just got more respect from me :D What the fuck are the Tea Party complainin' about anyway? They always bang on about the Constitution, and how the govt is trying to silence them, and how their free speech is being infringed. Well, motherfuckers, free speech for all, not just those you agree with.

  • I am totally totally totally totally totally sorry about that. lol

  • Teabaggers are so hypocritical. They yelp about free speech, but when someone uses their right to free speech against the tea partiers, they get so much flak that it's ridiculous. The tea partiers can go to rallies holding signs with Obama as Hitler and Stalin, screaming about his birth certificate, but Marvel comics can't make fun of it or point out that it's borderline seditious? That's such a double standard.

  • Teabaggers get freedom of speech, but not Marvel Comics? Fuck this shit.

  • Wait, wasn't Captain America dead?.

  • Thor should come back and kick everyone's ass...ASGARD STYLE! /vikingflex

    PS

    this is why marvel should not be owned by disney

  • At the 1:36 mark, HILARIOUS.

  • I am slowly losing hope in humanity....

  • What if PETA was made fun of instead

  • Remember O'Reilly France boycott that didn't work, even though he claimed it did? In fact sales of French wine and other imports reportedly increased after Billo's anti-French crusade. Marvel has nothing to fear, so why crumble?

  • @bartonim

    They folded like a cheap cardboard box. So disappointing. Giving into these people only eggs them on.

  • Comment removed

  • shows their complete simpletons if their reading enough comic books to notice this lol, bunch of over grown children

  • hey chizzy555 comics are great

  • I'm sorry but people with no sense of humor are boring and dull. People who cannot laugh at themselves take themselves way too seriously. They take life too seriously. It's a fucking comic book. Learn to laugh people, you'll live longer. Oh that's right, they're listening to Fear news.

  • fucking pathetic teabaggers...

  • I'd say Marvel comics went pretty easy on the aptly named teabaggers. All of the signs were spelled correctly unlike many signs at teabagger rallies. What a bunch of morons!!

  • @beatnikjd You mean MORANS!

  • . . . Morans?

  • @JayMann620

    It's a joke, son. Haven't you seen the picture of the teabagger holding the sign that says "Get a brain, morans!"

  • Oh. I didn't think of that. Good one my friend.

  • @beatnikjd I wonder if the creator of that semi-famous "Obama is a half-breed muslin" sign is a teabagger? My money's on yes.

  • @beatnikjd Don't you mean 'morans', because FOX is keeping them 'infromed'!

  • @beatnikjd GET A BRAIN MORAN! GO USA!!!

    like that?

  • bastards...

  • Walt Disney Owns Marvel Comics NOW...they bought out all of Marvel Comics stocks and aquired ownership...so REALLY...MARVEL COMICS = DISNEY

  • @MrYogaFreak And ABC network I think.

  • The comic book shop that I frequent is full of left leaning people anyway. So I don't get why Marvel is backing off.

    I do live in a pretty liberal area though, so what do I know?

  • is the reason why teabaggers are so dumb is because they worship sarah palin?

  • @LeoFan2012 Probably. Of course, Sarah Palin is a reflection of the collective personality of the teabaggers. It's like how people worship a God that is suspiciously just like the collective personality of humans.

  • @LeoFan2012 That's a bit of a chicken and egg issue.

  • @LeoFan2012 dont forget they worship Glenn Beck too

  • @LeoFan2012 No, the majority of them are Christian; it rots the brain.

  • @LeoFan2012 part of it

  • power to the people

    protest against injustice

    state terror

    to the streets of the world go the disempowered

  • O NOES!THEY ARE BEING SATIRICAL ABOUT US!WHAT DO WE DO!!!

    fucking suck it up.dont hear them complaining when SNL or some other comedy show is satirical about the left do you?

    HEY MARVEL!QUIT BEING SUCH A BITCH!

  • If there's any big market for comic books, it's probably the teabagger set. If they start doing them about the left, lots of the teabaggers will think its a news magazine..

  • Gee,didn't Zinn publish a work in comic book form?

  • No way the comic is a replica of the teabaggers. There's a black guy in that crowd.

  • Until Sarah Palin is revealed to be Captain America's secret concubine, make mine Marvel!

    Excelsior !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Teabaggers, aren't there a lot of those playing Halo online?

  • they're protesting freedom of speech by exercising their freedom of speech

  • teabaggers is a pornographic term for doing something so gross I can't tell you. I can't even give you a visual. HAHA

  • "tea bag libs before they tea bag you"

    lmao.

    Seriously, do these guys know the connotation that "teabagger" implies? It just cracks me up when you see interviews with teabaggers and a question like "When did you become a teabagger?" or "when did you join the tea bag movement?"

    They should have chosen a more "family values" name.

  • Teabaggers didn't like the comic because it proved to them how ridiculous they really look LMAO

  • So "Teabaggers" do not belive in freedom of speech if its against them?

    That sounds about right for that group of people.

  • What do you expect from a bunch of hypocrits,

  • Marvel has a very good and believable political undertones to all of their comic books right now. An example of this is in their new flagship event called Siege (which is underway) in which Norman Osborn, who runs HAMMER (the security organization of America), blows up a football stadium in florida in the middle of a game in order to justify an invasion of Asgard...hmm, sounds familiar

  • Yeah I hadn't touched a comic book for years but I picked this one up out of interest and it wasn't bad.

    Sadly I got the edited version not the one with the teabag slogan :D

  • The tea-baggers are complaining because the lost an election! And have been whinning about it for TWO YEARS!

    90% of teabaggers are: over 50, white, make less than $250,000 (taxes have actually been LOWERED under Obama but don't care/know), voted for McCain, think Sarah Palin is SMART, aren't sure Obama is 'really' an American, HATE ACORN (poor black and brown people all of which are on welfare), LOVE the Constitution AND the Patriot Act and don't know you can't be a Socialist AND a Fascist.

  • @kefluv man i would give you a hug right now if i could very very well put

  • I grow tire of this shit. I want some boxing rings setup and liberals and conservatives can bash each other brains in, in a safe controlled environment.

  • Teabaggers are a bunch of sheep. They also are pussy whiners. Lastly, they are retards.

    The republican party has been reduced to mental midgets who resemble nazis in ideology and tactics.

  • @oscarwildinthestreet

    Teabaggers are sheep because they question the government? I thought sheep were the ones who blindly follow the government...like some of the people who comment here

  • @Sexxor69 no sheep are the people who blindly follow fox news.....like somebody whos name is in this comment........

  • @qerrtre

    oh really? I don't blindly follow fox news. Hell I don't even watch fox news. I just question my government, something that is the exact opposite of a sheep

  • @Sexxor69 sigh

    i was orginaly going to type a long answer that explained why thats a dumb thing to say

    but its 11:28 im tired and im sick of argueing over fucking youtube

  • Keep it up and we'll never get the chance to split the republican vote with these guys.

    No saving the world from the Evil republican shadow

    government

    No meaningful climate change action

    No democracy

  • Marvel was acquired by disney, its parent company not wanting to upset the tea party people pressured marvel into apologizing and pulling the comics with the protesters, seems unnecessary and weak in my view, that's what i think.

  • Captian America should bash there head with his shield or at least tea bag the tea party douchers

  • it probably has to do with the upcoming Captain America film...the teabaggers may not be intellectual enough to read, but they certainly watch tv and movies...

  • lol it just shows how bias this newscast is, teabaggers are not all republicans. you started off good and i really started to admire your charisma, but as always you had to fuck it all up with your left/right bullshit. i'am not even listerning to the rest of the video.

  • "Teabaggers are not all republicans".

    Bullshit. With the exception of a few ACTUAL libertarians, the tea party thing is 100% republican to it's core.

  • You stereotype everyone saying they were not clever-enough.  You know what they were standing up for you to fucking slob. POS

  • Huh. Well, if future publications of the comic are to be altered from the original, wouldn't that make the original a collectors item? I gotta get to my local comics store tomorrow.

  • Sounds like a Simpson episode.

  • doesnt to "Teabag" mean to suck balls. like when the chick puts both the balls in her mouth

  • @VictoryCough

    I wasnt saying that Marvel is right all the time, just in this particular case, they pretty much hit it dead on.

  • You missed the whole point. The teabaggers were complaining not because they were in the comics, but because the comic implied that they were racist. You have the sidekick pretty much say "Oh look, there's no black people in the protest group, and they are criticizing Obama, therefore, they are racist!!!!"

    The fact that people and now the comics are race-baiting is unacceptable... and technically they were using their free speech to stop this, Marvel could have just said 'screw them.'

  • You have any proof of this claim?

  • It is not unacceptable to call something for what it is. I'm from he Bible Belt, I KNOW racism, close and personally. Seen every kind there is. The teabaggers STINK of it, as does all their "we're not racist" talk.  After all, every racist has "black friends."

  • @DeadlyChinchilla Can you elaborate on that? I don't see how not protesting taxes is racist. Whether you agree with them or not, I don't see any messages suggesting them of that.

  • Elaborate on which part? The intricate dance racists play when they prefer to not be seen as racists?

    And "not protesting taxes?" The tea party is anti-taxes, raising them and such. They pretend we're being taxed out of our livelyhoods when we have the lowest personal taxes of any modern country.

    At any rate, it shard to "agree" with them on anything when they are not united on anything, save a vague "no more taxes" rant. Taxes are GOOD sometimes, keep in mind.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla oops, I slipped and put a 'not' in there. And yes, taxes are needed. I just believe that you can't be a racist protest group if you don't have any hate speech of a group in your rallies. Are some of them racists, maybe. But they are not protesting any form of racism from what I can see.

  • Racism is not "get the blackies out" anymore. Racists are modern, and KNOW full well that racism is seen as unacceptable. The white, near elderly, pro-McCain, "Palin is great" group nearly 100% believes Obama is a "dirty Muslim" and that he was born in Kenya. Because he's BLACK, and thats scary.

    Modern racism is not hate speech, its obstruction of racial progress, and the Teabaggers embody it heart and soul. They lost power 2 years ago to a "dirty black man," and they need confronting.

  • deadlychinchilla This entire post on racism is psychobabble;it must be nice to be able to read other peoples' minds.; if you want to confront a particular person with a racist sign,feel free;but it's ironic that you can't see the implicit racism in painting a whole group with a broad brush because they're "white and near elderly"; I imagine,with your racism definition,that anybody who disagrees with your definition of "racial progress" is a racist.. Scary.

  • Readings minds would be "psychic babble," not "psychobabble."

    Sorry if you skipped class, but that "psychobabble" is established human behavior. Nothing to do with reading minds, but behavior, and its quite reliable when you know the cues to look for. Having been raised in the midst of KKK territory, I know those cues concerning racism better than my own hand. Its nothing to do with my "definition," but THE definition. You can keep ignoring whats there, but thankfully, others don't.

  • D.C. And I was raised around obnoxious "limousine Liberals";and their cues are always to drop the racist label in order to stop any debate and marginalize any political enemy.

  • This is a perfect example of a "nothing" reply. Does getting in a base insult make you happy? That you think this is about insulting a group of people is part of your own misunderstanding. You can deny, ignore, insult, deny, but it does not change what is in front of you.

    There is no "racist" label. There is just racism. You don't have to *like* that for it to be what it is, liberal hater or otherwise.

    Btw, "liberal" is not a political party, if you've forgotten.

  • what more base insult is there than calling people you don't know racists? You gave your frame of reference for recognizing racism and I gave mine;in my lifetime addressing any of these issues could get you labeled racist;Crime,Drugs,welfare reform,school performance,affirmative action, furloughs for convicted murderers,immigration,pro-athl­ete misconduct,etc..as long as so many people with so many agendas feel free to use the word racism,obviously there IS a racist label.

  • As I have *already* said, the Teabaggers are attempting a POLITICAL party. Their behavior in protests, their own words in interviews, allows everyone to judge them for what they are. Unlike you who base such judgements on something as small as someone being liberal or not.

    This topic was *not* concerning those other things, obviously. You're muddying the topic to try and label me some "limousine liberal," and I'm simply not biting your worm. Sorry for not taking bad bait.

  • DeadlyChinchilla:OK:I'll make it easy for you.You label a whole group of people you don't know(Those holding obnoxious signs AND others who may just not believe in Nationally run Health Care ,or the money being spent,as Racists; That's my point; The use of the Racist Label to marginalize your political enemy and not  have to debate issues.

  • I label a POLITICAL PARTY for their stance. Just as the Nazi's stance would be unacceptable, so is a racist stance in todays political parties. I label a group as they present themselves, nothing more.

    Also, National Health Care is not an issue of "belief." It works, its proven it works, and its working now in the states who have enacted it while the Congress pussyfoots around.

    There is no racist "label" here. You only need it to be in order to insult me since you have no better stance
