Attacks on the Right

It should come as no great surprise to anyone that reads what I write that I tend towards the left side of the political spectrum. Being that as it may I tend to view things through that spectrum, and while I may occasionally try to convince someone the error of their ways I still respect people that have made the decision to subscribe to a particular ideology. That having been said a couple of years ago there was a mini incident when the Tea Party was depicted in not such a good light in Captain America #602
My impression of this issue is that it was pretty tame in its lambasting of the right. Although Falcon suggests at one point that they are racists, it mostly looks at the political movement in a fairly neutral light (there is of course a lot more controversy surrounding the incident among comic fans, mostly regarding what should be apologized for.)
I personally do not take any offense to these remarks, but in the interest of partisanship some petty name calling or silly implications doesn't really get us far in solving real problems.
