In a recent comic book, Captain America and his partner the Falcon prepare to go on an undercover mission with a group that strongly resembles the Tea Party Movement, a conservative and libertarian movement started in 2009 as an anti-tax protest group that opposed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (stimulus plan). In the comic book, the faux Tea Partiers hold signs that mimic their real life counterpart's like "Stop the Socialist"; "tea bag libs before they tea bag you"; and "no new taxes". Prior to joining the protest, the Falcon remarks to Captain America that all the protesters are White and that a Black wouldn't blend with the crowd. In the comic, Captain America and Falcon believe the faux Tea Partiers may be a front for a White supremacist and anti-government group.
