TIME Magazine’s “Man of the Year”

Posted by Flownover

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.
