Snakes in the Fox House....Captain America vs FOX

So I assume like most Americans in this day and age, your familiar with Captain America?
You know, this guy? 

Well it turns out he's actually pretty anti american...no really watch this:


And they got a point, I mean the Supreme Serpent sounds just like a right winger right?

in fact heres the actual comic panel where the Supreme Serpent is talking:

Oh wait, my bad....this is awkward. Thats not the Panel FOX was quoting.....thats actually the REST of the Supreme Serpents Speech. You know, the part they didnt want you the viewer to know about.

Which is even more awkward, when you consider that it is FOX claiming they are the ones holding the same view as the Serpents, which appear to be extremely violent....not the other way around. The Serpents do not claim to be holding the views of FOX and Friends.

Oh...and its not just violence against illegals that is the only problem here. Here's another problem:




That would appear to be the Serpents attacking a professed LEGAL immigrant.....because he came to their town.

So apparently FOX and friends believes that violence against LEGAL immigrants is part of their right wing beliefs....

But actually believe it or not, thats not the biggest problem for FOX in this second panel.

You probably noticed the art style in that second panel looks DRASTICALLY different than in the first.  Which it should....because its from a different comic book. Its from Avengers 32....published in 1966.

Which is a little awkward, given that FOX and friends claims the Serpents are a new group who were created to fight the new Captain America.

Of course, lets be fair, maybe they mean the Serpents have never fought Cap before....not that they are new.


From 1966
From 1997

Well, so much for that theory.

So what's changed that suddenly, for the first time in 50 years, that having Cap oppose the Sons of the Serpent makes him Unamerican?

Oh wait, I actually figured this out. See in all the above images Captain America looks a little different than he does now:

Captain America 2015.

If your not good with details, let me help you out. At the moment, Captain America is black. In every previous picture ive show you, he was white.

So you know, when he was a white guy punching out ignorant racists it wasnt worth mentioning.

But now that the man under the hood is Black.....well now he's getting uppity and its a major attack on an american ideology.

Or at least that is the only logical conclusion to be drawn from the fact that FOX and Friends (and many other right wing sources) have suddenly decided that a 50+ year old story line is suddenly major news....and the only thing thats changed is the protagonists skin color.

Which brings us to our final irony. Despite appearances, the Sons of the Serpents are not a racist right wing group.

For example, here is the unmasking of the Original Supreme Serpent back in 1966:

Thats right, the groups founder was a foreign military official....specifically an [implied] communist Chinese general.

And the whole point of the group? actually to stir up distrust among Americans so as to weaken them for a war.

The second incarnation of the group was led by this guy:

Who, as you may notice is black.....as for the record was the leader of the next incarnation of the Serpents. In both case, both men were using faked racism as a cover for their true agendas, either increasing the ratings of their television show (by reporting on the attacks) or to drive up crime rates (and racism being the explanation for the seemingly random crimes) in an attempt to drive down property value so it could be bought more cheaply. 

Now all 3 groups made mention of the same idea....that some part of the fictional marvel universe version of the American media would defend their actions....there by giving the group more attention and increasing their effectiveness in scaring people for their real purpose...which was always exploiting the fuck out of the people they just scared for the groups gain.

A belief, that FOX and Friends (and other right wing sources) has just brought out of Fiction and into reality.

Which is going to look awkward when, true to form, this incarnation of the Sons of the Serpent have their true goals exposed, and its revealed that, as always they were only appearing to be violent racists to trick stupid people into supporting them while they fucked over those same stupid people.

But hey, you got to admire the FOX and Friends crew.....it takes a special kind of fucking retarded to get conned by something that was outed as a con half a century ago in a book deemed appropriate for and theoretically aimed at young children (as all 60's comic books were legally required to be).

Because remember folks, it wasn't Marvel comics that said the Sons of the Serpents represent the views of conservatives who watch FOX....it was FOX that did that.
