...Person of the Year!


The Protester (http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2101745_2102132,00.html)

I agree with Ed Morrissey (http://hotair.com/archives/2011/12/14/times-poty-the-protester/) on this one.


In 2009, Time had the same opportunity to pick “the protester” when the protests were the Tea Party and Iran’s Green Revolution, which followed from Ukraine’s Orange Revolution, and so on. Who did they pick? Ben Bernanke. When the Tea Party movement actually delivered results at the ballot box in 2010 in a historic midterm drubbing of Barack Obama’s Democrats — they lost 68 seats, the worst outing since 1938 — they could have hailed The Protester then, too. Who did they pick? Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

So they’re a little late to “the protester” story in terms of real impact. And what impact has “the protester” actually had in 2011? Has the Occupy Movement, such as it is, had any kind of ground-breaking impact on politics in the way the Tea Party did in 2010 and still does in this cycle? Not even close...

[CosmicCowboy]

Thats Time for you. They also chose Hitler as man of the year in 1938 and Stalin as man of the year in 1939.

[ChumpDumper]

No one said he had to be a good man.

[CosmicCowboy]

No one said he had to be a good man.

Clearly

[JoeChalupa]

He explained the reasoning why on Morning Joe. So stop protesting.

[ChumpDumper]

ClearlySo?

What was your choice instead of Hitler that year?

[CosmicCowboy]

Find someone else to argue with. go kick the dog or something.

I have no intention of debating the 1938 man of the year with you.

Oh, I get it... :sleep

[JoeChalupa]

It is not a popularity contest either.

[ChumpDumper]

I have no intention of debating the 1938 man of the year with you.You shouldn't have bitched about the choice of man of the year in 1938 then.

[CosmicCowboy]

You shouldn't have bitched about the choice of man of the year in 1938 then.

I used it as an example of other whacked times choices.

bitch

[ChumpDumper]

I used it as an example of other whacked times choices.

bitchWhy was it "whacked"?

Again, that implies you have a better choice.

I don't expect you to actually have one.

[CosmicCowboy]

I don't expect you to actually have one.

Sure Chump...invading Austria, declaring that Jews must register with the state, starting the first concentration camp, and passing laws to confiscate art and personal property certainly earned Adolph Hitler the indisputable right to be times "Man of the Year". you win.

[ChumpDumper]

Sure Chump...invading Austria, declaring that Jews must register with the state, starting the first concentration camp, and passing laws to confiscate art and personal property certainly earned Adolph Hitler the indisputable right to be times "Man of the Year". you win.Exactly!

Not my problem you don't understand the concept.

[CosmicCowboy]

Exactly!

Not my problem you don't understand the concept.

So you agree that protesters=Hitler? :p:

[ChumpDumper]

So you agree that protesters=Hitler? :p:Inasmuch as Person of the Year consideration goes.

[CosmicCowboy]

Inasmuch as Person of the Year consideration goes.

LOL, yeah I wasn't the OP and I've never lost any sleep over Times selection of POTY...:toast

[LnGrrrR]

I think you don't understand the point of Time's "Man of the Year". It's the person who had the most influence, affected the most change, etc etc, for better or worse.

[Yonivore]

So, tell me...what influence did this man exert?

I understand it. Again, I wasn't the OP. I just happened to already know that Hitler and Stalin had previously been MOTY selections and threw it out there for discussion. As far as fucked up occurrences maybe Arab Spring and OWS qualify for POTY even if by definition it's not a P. :toast

Enough to get a picture spread throughout the internet... :lol

Seriously though, I think it's a rather weak choice myself. But I'm not sure who would be a stronger pick. Obama is rather obvious, and won't generate sales. A celebrity feels somewhat weak.

If I had to pick a Man of the Year, I would've gone with Steve Jobs.

Yeah, I think putting "Protestor" is a copout. They should have at least humanized it by putting the Egyptian protestors front and center.

[CosmicCowboy]

Actually not a bad choice to be honest...not OWS which are a bunch of fucking clowns, but basically nameless protestors DID overthrow Egypt, Libya, and it looks like Syria is about to domino..

[Spurminator]

Yes, all protestors are public defecators. Yonivore continuing to be a good little tool.

If Apple really does have TV "figured out" like Jobs said then I would agree with you on that one...that is going to be a whole new tipping point in technology...

[boutons_deux]

a guy shitting on a police car represents OWS like Phelps church represents Christians.

[boutons_deux]

tea baggers were an establishment(conservative) movement financed by Kock Bros, run by Repug operatives.

A totally astro turf bogus movement that intentionally didn't attack the real culprits of the Banksters' Great Depression, since that would have been attacking tea bagger backers. The whole point of tea baggers was to go after VRWC nemesis, the govt, and distract from the real mofo's, the UCA, the MIC, the financial sector.

LOL idiots, this has not much to do with Occupy baggers but a lot with Arab Spring. :downspin:

[ChumpDumper]

Glad there is a conservative who actually gets what Time was trying say. :toast

Then there were the rapists, drug abusers, vandals, etc...

The Occupy Movement is probably the most ineffectual and disgusting mass of humanity ever assembled.

The man in the picture was engaged in an occupy movement.

[Yonivore]

LOL idiots, this has not much to do with Occupy baggers but a lot with Arab Spring. :downspin:
Actually they beclown the Arab Spring by putting the Occupy cretins on equal footing, starting about page 5.

[Yonivore]

And, quite frankly, I question the judgement of an Arab Spring that appears to be trading Dictators who attempted to play well in the international sand box with Islamic Extremism that wants to crap in the international sand box.

[CosmicCowboy]

As has been pointed out previously, no one said that POTW had to be good or a positive force...simply the most influential of the year for better or worse...

[ChumpDumper]

[CosmicCowboy]

yoni loves his dictators.

And Chump doesn't have positions, he just likes to snipe and argue.

Get back to us in 3 or 4 years and lets see if the world is really a better place because they are gone.

It looks very familiar.

[ChumpDumper]

You've already adopted one of my positions in this thread.

More to come, I'm sure.

[Yonivore]

Then I would have handed that honor to Navy Seal Team 6.

[ChumpDumper]

Then I would have handed that honor to Navy Seal Team 6.Not even close.

A nice opportunity to wave your flag and avoid giving Obama any credit, but Egypt alone trumps it.

This is my position.

[CosmicCowboy]

Not even close.

Damn Chump...just suck his dick and get it over with. We know you want it.

[ChumpDumper]

Damn Chump...just suck his dick and get it over with. We know you want it.You want to suck the dicks of several mideast dictators. Get it over with. We all know you want it.

Even the dead ones.

[CosmicCowboy]

LOL

I just never realized your manlove for Obama until recently...

Don't give up hope...I suspect Michelle wears the strap on in the relationship and he's used to catching and not pitching...

[ChumpDumper]

LOL

I just never realized your manlove for Obama until recently...Nah, I was describing yoni's MO RE: Seal Team 6. Get your head out of the moonie publications for a second.


Don't give up hope...I suspect Michelle wears the strap on in the relationship and he's used to catching and not pitching...I suspect you spend a lot of time thinking about such things.

[CosmicCowboy]

LOL

Apparently you do too...your avatar looks like you are getting ready for the money shot...

[ChumpDumper]

LOL

Apparently you do too...your avatar looks like you are getting ready for the money shot...Your interpretation tells more about you than me.

[ChumpDumper]

Not coincidentally, WC thought the same thing.

[ElNono]

Yoni, you should write to Time Magazine and tell them how you really feel...

[ChumpDumper]

Yoni, you should write to Time Magazine and tell them how you really feel...Apparently it makes self-styled conservatives think of naked men and gay sex.

[Spurminator]

U mad?



The man in the picture was engaged in an occupy movement.

Was that picture in Time Magazine?

[Oh, Gee!!]

I woulda been cool with Steve Jobs but have no problem with Time's choice. If you think about it, there have been a ton of protests this year all around the world.

[cheguevara]

IMO it's stupid. Why chose a group of ppl. Why not pick an individual?

they could have easily named "the homo sapiens" as person of the year :rolleyes

[Oh, Gee!!]

technically, "the protester" refers to one person. It's a nameless, faceless individual but an individual nonetheless.
