Oh boy. Check out what I wrote about comic books a mere month ago in August.

If the comics were written by the anti-war crowd, Superman wouldn't stop Lex Luthor, but would instead try to figure out what he did to make Lex turn to a life of crime. Rather than being stopped Luthor would be pacified and appeased, in the hope that he would stop being evil. Thankfully, kids would never read such mindless drivel. Well, at least not yet.

Well, we didn't have to wait very long. Brent Bozell notes that the September issue of "Justice League of America" is laced with pro-Saddam political indoctrination.

It was only a matter of time, I suppose. Comic-book superheroes have gone into the liberal political indoctrination business.

The September issue of the DC Comics book "Justice League of America," or "JLA," presents Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman as U.N.-promoting paper dolls for a thinly disguised propaganda play against President Bush's war on Saddam Hussein.

Superman then tells President [Lex] Luthor that millions of people are protesting worldwide. "No one supports what you're doing," says Super Pollster.

"I hear them," says the evil president, "but I can't listen to them." When Superman says perhaps an attack could be delayed for more proof, the president retorts, "Where do you get off questioning me? ... It's unbecoming to question your president during times of international unrest."

That's right, supervillian Lex Luthor plays President Bush, and the superheroes play the pro-UN weenies. Apparently nothing is sacred. Crime fighters that used to fight the forces of evil have been turned into frenchy anti-war freedom fighters who apparently fight... freedom.

Note: Please read the entire article to get the full monty. I did not want to do a blanket cut and paste of Mr. Bozell's work, so please click the link and show him some love. The comic's parallels to the "Hawk vs. Dove Commie Pinko" debate are so astonishing they border on self parody.
