In yesterday’s post about Superman renouncing his US citizenship, Paul Constant wrote, “If the right-wing blogs get a hold of this one, there’s gonna be hell to pay.”
Well…
Drudge links to a Comics Alliance post, where former Mercury karaoke blogger/Comics Alliance Editor Laura Hudson must’ve had quite the afternoon moderating the more than EIGHT HUNDRED comments on the post so far. There are some gems:

Good-bye, afternoon. I wasn’t using you anyway.
Am I the only one who realizes that the US and France SHARE colors and so there’d be no change?
Isn’t Supes technically an illegal immigrant anyway? You’d think that right-wingers would applaud a guy who sneaked through our borders as an infant voluntarily giving up his citizenship.
I came in here to mention the thing about the French national colours, but I guess that’s already been done.
Superman pays bills? What exactly is the overhead on the Fortress of Solitude?
*facepalm*
and already across the finish line is @JStreckert for COTW.
What if Supes just incorporated, started doing his thing only for profit, moved his mailbox to the Cayman islands, had the Chinese build his Superman robots, hired lobbyists, bought off Supreme Court Justices and bitched about paying taxes he didn’t pay anyway? I wonder if they would be okay with that? Of course, that would pretty much put Lex Luthor out of a job.
It’s a just good thing Kryptonians weren’t… darker-skinned.
I knew when I saw him at the Red and Black reading Chomsky that something big was up. Get ready for Superman’s own book about his political awakening, “Not In Kansas Anymore.”
