tea party

I guess it takes a comic book to tell the truth about the Tea Party movement. While Fox News and the right wing media have overlooked the conspiracy minded, white supremacist, militia based wing of the Tea Party movement, it takes Marvel Comics to bring that attention to the mainstream. Here’s what Yahoo News wrote about the comic book.

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.”

The Falcon mentions that the gathering appears to be “some kind of anti-tax protest” and notes that “this whole ‘hate the government’ vibe isn’t limited to the Watchdogs.” He then tells Captain America that he doesn’t think their plan will work because “I don’t exactly see a black man from Harlem fitting in with a bunch of angry white folks.” Captain America then explains that his plan entails sending The Falcon in among the group posing as an IRS agent under the thinking that a black government official will most certainly spark their anger.

    Actually Jack_Stephen1, in this upside down world we live, perception is actually a lie. Look at the celeb world, the world of marketing, Wall Street, politics, sports, Hollywood etc. They all put up a certain face, which typically shields, unethical, immoral, and oftentimes criminal behavior. Having said that, the tea party is NOT a racist movement. They have been co opted by people who have different agendas, but by and large, the tea party was started by Ron Paul supporters whose basic beliefs are less Government spending, less Government intervention in the affairs of other countries, ending the IRS and the FED Reserve and a whole host of solid principles. What has happened here is the “perception” of racism has been pumped by the Mainstream Media, and as usual we buy it hook line and sinker. The media is the biggest lying, racist, conspiracy minded entity we have ever known, and for them to label someone else as such, is at best, laughable. For the record, I’m not a supporter of the Tea Party Movement, but I’m also not a supporter of being manipulated, and told how I should view something. Research Ron Paul, and trust me, he would have been 3x the President Obama the magician has turned out to be, and this country would have been well on its way to REAL recovery, with sound economic principles and a true withdrawal of troops from foreign lands.

    for those that don’t believe that the Tea Party is racist..go to the white supremacist site Stormfornt and see how many of the neo-Nazis are going to Tea Parties to recruit and Ron Paul is actually close with the Owner of Stormfront who supported his 2008 Presidential run

    so paying taxes, having government all in ya business and NOT honoring the constitution = good ???

    yall negus tweakin LOL

    this is funny how THEY use the race-card against us…. and most of us fall for it.

    I heard about Ron Paul’s link to Stormfront type groups but long as they about the Constitution and the rights of Citizens outweighing the rights of Corporations Im not trippin. they dont have to like me, long as they respect me.

    even Marcus Garvey met up with the KKK, and they didnt have no beef cuz he stood on PRINCIPLES !!! us over HERE and yall over THERE. fine with me

    quiet as its kept so-called WHITE people were slaves (slavs=europeans) long before so-called BLACK people were slaves. the black VS white thing is hyped up in America as a distraction.

    poor nagas dont run s**t but they mouth
    poor rednecks dont run s**t but they mouth

    wealthy europeans run things while keeping poor nagas & poor rednecks fighting EACH OTHER.

    PS- f**k the IRS and the Federal Reserve.

    _A_ @ thank you !!! I had to repost this….

    “whose basic beliefs are less Government spending, less Government intervention in the affairs of other countries, ending the IRS and the FED Reserve and a whole host of solid principles.”

    @Casey, anyone is free to show up at a rally, just like a wide variety of groups with their own agenda showed up at the Million Man March. If the movement itself were racist, then why would racist groups have to go “recruit?” That statement is absolutely void of all logic. Most negroes have been hoodwinked so severely by the Democrats, that they don’t even recognize true and solid principles that would actually work in their favor when they hear them. Reminds me of hearing about how Harriet Tubman would have to shoot some of the runaways dead in their tracks, because they started getting nervous(even after being home free) and wanted to return to the plantation, and she feared once they got back they would more than likely snitch. Sometimes, the hardest thing to offer a slave, is freedom. The concept is so damn foreign to him, he fears he wouldn’t know how to function properly without being told what to do at every turn. Casey, I suggest you keep writing about whose beefing with who in the hip hop world, and leave these topics to people who actually know what they’re talking about! You’re doing nothing but giving us empty Keith Olberman/Rachel Maddow/Wolf Blitzer talking points and apparently, fooling a lot of folks.

    Keep your eyes and mind open. By the time 2012 rolls around, Obama will have done more damage to our community as a whole, than “stormFront”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    In addition. The IRS and the FED Reserve are BOTH unconstitutional, yet, Mr. Obama who taught Constitutional Law never speaks out against neither institution. Still think he is on your side?

  • Casey Gane-McCalla

    all that McVeigh constitution is crazy the constitution was made by rich white land owners the good thing about the constitution is that it allows itself to be augmented and changed so we can get rid of the stupid ideas lke slavery that started our country.

    I have a degree in political science from Columbia University and write for both Jack And Jill Politics and the Huffington Post about politics. I don’t make claims without doing research most of the so called political anger against Obama is just racism. Where was the anger against taxes when Bush was president? Obama has only proposed raising taxes on the richest 1%.

    White Supremacists recruit at Tea Parties because they know that people will be receptive to their message. Not every white racist is a Nazi or Klansmen but the anger and racism they have displayed against Obama gives the neo-Nazis reason to believe they can can turn them from casual white racist to white supremacists. I don’t watch Keith Olberman/Rachel Maddow/Wolf Blitzer so I have no idea what they’re talking points are we’re not Fox news we don’t get talking points from the White House we think for ourselves…go join Loyd Marcus and Angela McGlowan to become on of the .001% of people at Tea Party rallies who aren’t white. I suggest you stop commenting on my articles and go comment on the Tea Parties on StormFront and see how much those Teabaggers like you

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    The constitution has flawed aspects to it no doubt, but the fact is, the founding fathers knew and understood that Government interference into the individual’s everyday life would lead to an overall destruction of quality of life. Most of the racists anger against Obama is racism, but there are a vast majority of people who have legitimate gripes with his policies, and people like you want to paint all those with the same “racist” or “self hating” brush. White Supremacists recruit anywhere, including democrat gatherings. They go where ever they can find large groups of white people congregating, because they feel they can “flip” anyone. Funny, now anyone who believes in the Constitution is now linked to Timothy McVeigh? Wow. I’m no fan of the Founding fathers, but they knew having BIG Government mix with the affairs of everyday Americans would lead to their destruction and we see that coming to pass before our very eyes. I will grant you, that a lot of these people allowed Bush to increase the size of Govt, but they also let Clinton do it as well. People only react when they are directly impacted, so as long as they were still able to get credit to flip houses and take vacations, they were pacified.

    Lastly, I wonder, does Jack and Jill Politics and Huffington Post allow you to post bullsh!t about Wayne getting death threats from prisoners, or R Kelly and BAby beefs, or are we just special. As long as your promoting that DUMBED DOWN foolishness daily, your not fit to be writing or telling NO BLACK person what they should and shouldn’t be doing! Again, People like you and Obama doing more harm to our collective community than StormFRont!!!!!

    Also, I could have sworn you posted a video of Rachel Maddow or Keith Olberman before..I’m gonna go check for it, and if my suspicion is true, then you will be yet another, exposed as a liar!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    You don’t watch those shows I mentioned, you just use their videos for your Blogs?..That was disingenuous for you to suggest that you don’t watch those shows and have no idea what they’re talking about. Straight out of Obama’s playbook of deception

    Your post on Jan 14th 2010 1:59pm is a clip from Rachel Maddow’s show, yet you stated, and I quote

    “I don’t watch Keith Olberman/Rachel Maddow/Wolf Blitzer so I have no idea what they’re talking points are we’re not Fox news we don’t get talking points from the White House we think for ourselves…”

    Just another fraud in a long line, who have poisoned our community with his/her pen!

    Dayum _A_ thats the shlt I B talkin bout and Ms McCalla is no threat, just another squirrel tryin 2 get someone nutz in his mouth…._A_ maybe you don’t realize that Casey had a Video on BET Uncut saying how he LOVE WHITE GIRLS muffed a silly black girl in the face on the Video, had a white girl ackin like she givin him head…..I mean please and this from a guy that writes on the Huffington Post ow watever he said all those bullshlt entities of Media dick sukin is Irrelevant so statin that You Write 4 them U gets NONE

    _A_ that was eloquent also…..but I am fully aware that the Taxed Enuff Already Party is fully engineered 2 Hate but they have the right formula and thats Big Citizen, Little Government….along with Federal Government and all that BS(one reason why JFK jr. got 3 to the head, N BROAD DAYLIGHT) now tell me who’s the Original Gangsters??Ron Paul is also suspect but he;s the lessser of many evils, so I agree with his program somewhat….they victimized Cynthia McKinney & Sherry L Peel

    This racism shlt is played out in my book…when someone kick up dust I qaulm that garbage cause I am far more superior than what the bullshlt Agenda America has going on 4 toooooooo dayum long….so Casey stop postin wat crackheads say(Rush) and the other deadweights

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    Mr_Nanastroker, trust me, I agree with you 100% about Ron Paul being the lesser of all the evil running around. But that Tea Party movement actually started way before Obama was President. That movement was formed around Ron Paul’s campaign. It has since been co opted by NeoCons (Beck, hannity) and Republicans (who don’t really agree with Paul’s stance on most issues, but are trying to ride that momentum, i.e. Palin, Brown, Steele etc.) I don’t trust ANY politician, or ANY political party. Cynthia McKinney showed what can happen to you if you are REALLY about change. I have actually written a few notes to her asking her to stay out of politics, because she can be so much more effective on the outside, educating the blind, deaf and dumb in my opinion. Very few people realize what JFK, Abraham Lincoln and the James Garfield assasinations were truly about. Also, Alexander Hamilton had two attempts on his life for the same reason along with many others. Trying to eradicate the privately owned FED Reserve’s conrol the money supply of this country. These fools think Obama is the most powerful man in the world? You better check the man who can inflate and deflate the supply of money available, at his leisure, while not being accountable to ANYONE to see what REAL power looks like.

    As for Casey, wow, I didn’t even know that sh!t about him, but can’t say I’m shocked, and dude is throwing around a Political Science degree from Columbia like I’m supposed to be impressed?? How can I be, when 95% of his articles is about what hip hop artists are beefing with each other. Damn, you went to Columbia and got a PS degree to write BS? I could get an average teenager from a local high school to write that crap. And I’m sure if he were to be pressed, we would probably find out, its nothing but a rumor anyway. GTFOH with that BS, Casey.

    unlike soft ayus DC comics. the Marvel Comics i grew up reading didnt bite thier tongue they tell it like it is with our society through thier stories and it seems like they still do.

    only recently did DC comics decide to get the balls to do the same. this aint the first time Captain America…who represents what a true white-American should be like has put people on blast.

    i thought it was funny and entertaining. way to go Marvel for ruffling some feathers

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sub-Negro/ Sub-Negro

    Damn MR_NANASTROKER and _A_ ya’ll niggaz killed that s**t. The media really got a lot of these niggaz dumbed down. I remember when they had that black dude that had an assault rifle at one of those town hall meetings and MSNBC would’nt even show his face and tried to make him out to be some white racist. But the general population is ignorant and easy to manipulate. Question everything and believe nothing until you have discovered the real truth. I want Obama to do well but i’m also a realist an know that he will not get rid of the FEDS or the IRS. He is simply a figurehead like damn near every president before him.

    Question
    How many of you have been to a Tea party meeting?

    Question
    How many of you have researched and talked to someone from the Tea party?

    Question
    How many of you think for yourselves?

    Questions
    How many of you voted in the primary?

    The African-American “community” gives one party over 98% of its vote (at least the ones who vote)

    Questions
    How is that working out for us?
    How has it worked for our “leaders”?

    Questions
    What party has a former KKK Grand Dragon and others who were members of the KKK?

    Question
    Why don’t we hear more about that?

    Questions
    Who are the real racist?

    Take a moment a think, think, think, and study history from reliable sources.

    Last thing be prepared for the coming “war” between the African-American’s and the Latinos. Once the numbers in the largest electoral states double in the number of Latino who are residents you will see African-American put on the back burner. The fight about illegal immigration is a fight the African-American “community” needs to wake up to. If you don’t, you will look back on your “leaders” for help and you will see their true colors. They will be well taken care of and they will still get paid. The question is will you be taken care of and will you get paid. Wake-up my people. The truth is out there. The Revolution will not be televised. YOU are going to have to do some thinking on your own!
