wut i want to know is how do u come across the idea that captain america is the fascist? in civil war, wasn’t he the one that stood up to the american fascism that has swept up this country? Isn’t he the one who dedicated and gave his life to defend our very freedoms and privacy? i think where u are confused sir is u think captain america and the dark government reigning over the world are the same; they r most certainly not!!!

thats ridiculous… first of all Steve Rogers fought in WWII against Nazi around the world. and if you knew his exploits you would know that he is really more like “captain of the American dream” because he has stood up against the united states government, which even cost him his job. which he gave up because he felt the united states government was wrong in what they were doing.

Going over the top like that does cheapen the point somewhat.

I like the comic, but I do think the swastika is over the top. The point would have been well made without it… BTW, didn’t I read he gets sniped by the Red Skull, and isn’t Red Skull some nazi guy anyhow? Wouldn’t that make this a little ironic?

So just throwing a swastika on something equals political commentary? I can appreciate the sentiment, but I gave up knee-jerk reactionism in college.

They love me because: I plunder their country; exploit their population; bully their governments; threaten war; snatch all their natural resources; force their government into debt; cause their people to live in poverty; torture and kill the rebels; and militarily support all repressive regimes.

Well, it took me a minute (ahem, reflects what we all look for first I guess LOL).

A good one.
