Anti-American Militant Julian Assange Cleans Up in TIME Mag’s Person of the Year Online Voting
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, December 14, 2010, 6:33 AM
Anti-American enemy combatant Julian Assange cleaned up in the online voting for TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year contest.
The Guardian reported:
TIME Magazine announced that Julian Assange raked in 382,020 votes, giving him an easy first place. He was 148,383 votes over the silver medalist, Recep Tayyip Ergodan, prime minister of Turkey.
The current issue of the magazine features an interview with Assange, which the magazine sent to him in Wandsworth prison.
Assange’s lawyer Mark Stephens said he wasn’t allowed to see it. Stephens told the Guardian:
Time magazine sent him a copy of the magazine with him on the cover and they censored it not just by ripping off the cover but by destroying the whole magazine.

The Obama Adminstration has yet to charge this anti-American hero for publishing over 25,000 classified US diplomatic documents.

Yes, he is certainly publishing things that should not be published, however, I think the people that should be prosecuted are those who are giving him the material. Plus, as far as I can see, these leaks did not put any of our service people at risk.
As for Time, well, he has had a huge impact this year. And it is better than declaring O as Man of the Year/ Decade.

Online Polls are never skewed, right?

…and the second place finisher is the Islamist PM from Turkey?!?
cal rifkin commented:
gotta sell magazines! What did you expect – a patriot or a real hero? media buzz is the only criteria to an outfit like that.
Charlie commented:
WTF? Ergodan? Has Ergodan ever made even the back pages of any newspapers this year?

Something tells me here we’re just watching kabuki theater.
Militant Conservative commented:
Not a magazine, propaganda rag.
Soon to be extinct.
Stuart commented:
Assange as man of the year? Well why not, Bin Laden wouldn’t be able to make it to the awards ceremony anyway.
Beside its not that big of a deal. If you’ll remember, I was voted man of the year a few years ago.
You don’t remember? You were man of the year too, that year; the year they gave the title to ….well…. everybody.
Yes, they are that vacuous.

If you’ve ever read Stephen King’s old chestnut, “The Stand,” it’s clear we’re living it.
Cher Cropper commented:
I agree with Militant Conservative. Time is becoming less and less relevant.
Being Time’s person of the year doesn’t mean one is deemed best person of the year. In the past the Ayatollah Khomeini was person of the year along with a lot of history’s controversial figures.

Hang him up by his euro balls!!

#1 – “as far as I can see”? WFT? You got Xray vision? You know who or what innocents may have been killed by Julia’s leaks? Are you so shallow you believe this guy is doing his dirty work for “peace”? Moron!

What about PFC Manning, the spying lil’ bitch who downloaded all of those documents and then gave them to Assange?
Retro commented:
obama has his hands in it somewherei.
Iconoclast commented:
The voting reflects the readership and so explains the falling circulation. If NewsWEAK brought $1, the value of Slime Magazine would be at most $2. It is sad to see how petulant & dishonest the American media have become over the past half century.

This says about all one needs to know about TIME and its readership. It says TIME is striving earnestly to catch up with bankrupt Newsweek in loony hate-America liberalism.
Chris commented:
When will the U.S. pursue charges against the “anti-American combatants” at the New York Times for printing the leaks in bulk for the all the American public to see?
