Marvel Comics has issued an apology for their derogatory depiction of the tea party crowd in recent Captain America issue #602 comic book. Since World War II, Captain America has been standing firmly against evils in the world. And now, it seems like the self-proclaimed Tea Party patriots are the target of his condemnation. To put the Tea Partiers in the same league as the Nazis (in the 40's), flag-burners (in the 60's) and now white supremacists (with whom the Tea Party protesters were associated). Should we be surprised? Hardly.
C'mon, Capt. America, really? How far we've come... 
wait --- you're not suggesting that people who burn flags are in the same league as nazis and white supremacists are you?
cause, all politics of these issues aside, i'd say the tea party is way more akin to flag burners than those other two.
i assume we're talking about burning the american flag here, not some other, less important, one?

No, I'm not suggesting that flag-burners are in the same league as the Nazis and White Supremacists. I was simply paraphrasing the linked article and the kinds of issues that Captain America has tackled in the past.
