TIME Magazine has named their Man of the Year, and it’s…”The Protester”.
Do they mean this one?
Or this one?
Occupy has resulted in a thousand arrests, several deaths, rapes, and widespread drug abuse. The cost to the public is in the millions for damage done to public property and they are still obstructing commerce and putting people out of work.
TIME Magazine’s “Man of the Year” has cost the American taxpayers a whopping…$22.2 MILLION, and counting!

The first man of the year to be on both the domestic terrorist watch list and the local police blotter for public indecency.
TIME Magazine does what it can for the Obama campaign.

Time magazine? Time “rag a zine”. Maybe in the day this was a good source for readers to get some information. But it isn’t worth the read and so liberal.
Sam Stone commented:
The Tea Party instead of winning a historic election in 2010 by bringing in the huge number of new faces to congress should have just crapped on cop cars, killed themselves with overdoes of drugs, vandalized banks, shut ports and raped the women and they too may have been on the cover of Time Magazine!
FurryGuy commented:
$22M wasted when cities across the country are contemplating slashing police and fire department funding due to budget problems.
FurryGuy commented:
Remember that Time magazine chose Hitler as “Man of the Year” in 1938, so this year’s choice is not a stretch at all.
Carbon Pootprint commented:
Does anyone really care what progressive scum in the city that robbed America thinks?
BarbaraS commented:
Does anybody still read “time” magazine? Well, I think you can still see them in doctors’ and dentists’ offices.
Greg commented:
Think not in terms of 22 million dollars but rather in terms of 220 jobs that were created or saved and paid for by selling bonds to the chinese

and you wonder why that magazine sux A$$
chuck in st paul commented:
This current crop of ‘journalists’ (sic) grew up learning to have an orgasm every time the word “protest” was mentioned. They have felt hollow and left out for not having been a part of the war protests of the 60′s. They never got a Woodstock or a 1968 Dhimmeroid Convention moment.
So… they have constructed this fantasy in their heads that Poopstock is just as historically important. In their alternate universe this is the leading edge of Something Great, and THEY are going to be part of it. Oooooooo…. *woodie*
The only problem is that this time those of us without blinders on can see Poopstock for what it is – a bunch of infantile, over coddled, spoiled brats running with the usual stoners and mental defectives that gravitate to these things. The public’s reaction – Meh. Of course that won’t stop the LSM from huffing and puffing and over inflating this stupidity. That’s a good thing for us. It pushes this insanity fully into the public’s face and that’ll be the downfall of these jerks.
tommy mc donnell commented:
somebody here predicted this. if it wasn’t for doctors and dentists office time magazine would be out of business.
WillofLa commented:
This love affair with sensationalism makes me sick. These idiots with Time magazine couldn’t tell who really needs to be on the cover if their souls depended on it. Obama is behind all of this filth and disgusting image of a sector of the American lexacon that I’m sure the Muslims are laughing their butts off. It is images like this is the reason why Muslims hate our guts, and will kill us with the most enthuesiasm and predudice. Their murder of us will bath them in the blood of their enemies which in turn will empower them to relish the next.
Cliff commented:
Another one for the list.
http://www.news9.com/story/16159485/kerr-park-protest-costs-city-over-50000
“Police officials say the total cost to the police department has been $58,583. More than $13,000 of that is overtime pay.”
“The city does not know how much it will cost them to clean up the area once protesters leave.”
And there have been multiple trips to court that I’m sure weren’t free.
WillofLa commented:
#9 Chuck,
You mentioned that these reporters never got a Woodstock, or a Democrat convention. Just wait until the Democrat convention this next year, and even worse the Republican convention where I predict the real violant scum will come out in full battle mode. People will die at this one because I’m sure they have that planned, and that is to make this year as memorable as utterly possible but for a bad reason not for a good reason. The Republican candidate will rue the day he decided to run for President. And surely he will because the left is going to see to it that he does. It’s their last time at bat and they are going to make all effort. I just hope it really wakes the American electorate up to who the left is, and that they ask themselves, “Do we really want our nation to be known for this sort of thing as who we are, or do we want to put a new face forward?”

What is Time Magazine?
WillofLa commented:
I am sick to death of Republican’s remaining silent on the issue of these scumbag protesters. I don’t give a damn about their so-called 1st Amendment rights. As far as I am concerned they have violated their 1st Amendment rights by carrying their protest way, way to far. When they passed the first day and disobeyed the law by not getting a permit to hold their protest they violated their right to speak out against anything. And if this country was how it should be and the police couldn’t handle the task of getting rid of them, they should have called out the military to remove them with bull dozers and water cannons. Let’s see some of these bad *ss non-lethal weapons the damn cops are supposed to have that they are saving for us, presumedly! Let’s see what they can do to break up riots that the left are planning for us patriots and conservatives when we have had enough and hit the streets to protest the governments refusal to help this nation like they should be doing, not letting Harry Reid state “This bill is dead on arrival!” I hate his guts and wish him all the worse that can come to him!!!
USMC Thomas commented:
How pathetic, I can remember when Time was required reading.
jean commented:
Oh great, just what these losers need, more attention and encouragement. talk about useless, put Time right along with these useless
Craig commented:
They at least had the guts to protest something. And what do you do? NOTHING. You just type a few insults on a blog and think you’re big men! So it will cost you taxpayer’s money… big deal.
If you would have some balls, you would go out to protest the Federal Reserve, they are the ones who are bankrupting your country. The more they print money out of thin air, the more your money gets devalued. What the protest cost you is nothing in comparison with what the Federal Reserve cost you.
But hey! You have no guts. All you have is hatred for your fellow citizens who don’t think like you.
The Globalist scums got it right: Divide to conquer!

Great. Craig – The Truther Nutjob – is back.
Oh, joy to us all.
Bo T. commented:
Sorry, but those “end the Fed” people aren’t the ones being covered by the media. They go against their globalist bosses and they’re finished. So don’t blame us.
OTEC commented:
Ummmm…I doubt TIME has the OWS movement in mind.
Also, “Man of the Year” is not an honor…it’s just a statement of who
was influential in the previuos year.
Adolph Hitler was TIME’S “Man of the Year” in 1938, but the article did not
praise him. It pointed out that he had turned Germany into a police state
that was geared for war, and that war was seemingly on the horizon.
OTEC commented:
#4 Furry Guy….have you ever READ the Hitler acrticle? Doesn’t sound like it. If you had, you’d know that it held no praise for Hitler. “Man of the Year” is about
influence in the world, whether negative or positive.
The Hitler meme when it comes to MOTY is a tired one.
Here’s a little bit of the 1938 story:
“Führer of the German people, Commander-in-Chief of the German Army, Navy & Air Force, Chancellor of the Third Reich, Herr Hitler reaped on that day at Munich the harvest of an audacious, defiant, ruthless foreign policy he had pursued for five and a half years. He had torn the Treaty of Versailles to shreds. He had rearmed Germany to the teeth— or as close to the teeth as he was able. He had stolen Austria before the eyes of a horrified and apparently impotent world.”
Read the whole thing, and put it to rest

Ace commented:
Hitler was Time’s Man Of The Year a couple times.
But probably Time’s article was written months ago as part of the astroturf.
OTEC commented:
#28….hitler was Man of the Year in 1938. That’s it.
The article was written in 1938. Get a grip.
OTEC commented:
George W. Bush, on the other hand, was Man of the Year in 2000 and 2004….
Jimbo commented:
That’s one stinky political movement.

Well it could be Obama again…………..this year thing has officially become a joke anyway………carry on
