That one could be even greater of Black Widow (the one woman in the pic, I think that's her name) would be the same, unmodified. She already is in a T&A pose.
They're making a point.  Ever hear of the Hawkeye Initiative?
I realize that, and yes. I'm saying the point would be even better made if BW would stay unmodified.
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.

There are a lot of things I disagree with the Tea Party about, but painting it as a racist organization is just disingenuous.

I think the cartoonist is pointing criticism at exaggerated stereotypes. As for the tea party image, it really isn't that far off base as the previous two. Some of my family members are tea partiers, and unfortunately, they are also part of the supposedly minority extreme element in that they hate "takers", who always seem to be non white or immigrant or just poor, in their world view. In any case, you aren't born a tea party member, you join it. Considering how ultra conservative and reactionary the founders of the tea party - the Koch brothers - in proud fact are , it's not surprising that tea party members are bigoted to begin with, and/or, gradually become bigoted or more bigoted through peer pressure over time.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

The problem is that you're looking at the way the media portrays them.  Certainly, some Tea Partiers are shitheads, but it's the same with just about any group.  I know a few Tea Partiers, and while I may disagree with them on some points, I have found them to be pleasant people who make quite a few good points.  Saying they're all racist, religiously fanatical conspiracy theorists is like saying that everybody in the Occupy Movement is a lazy, hypocritical communist who hates the rich on principle.

And you accuse them of stereotyping and generalizing.  Shiny mirror you've got there.

Except when they're not.  For example, some Republicans supported going to war in Syria, while others didn't

It's easier to write off people if you just put them into a monolithic block.

Yes, it is.  Which is why I try to avoid that.  For future reference, if you ever think I'm doing that, feel free to call me on it.

Um.. The GOP is not identical to the Tea Party.

They are registered republicans and if you look at voting records they are almost identical but thanks for ignoring me
