Summary: "No one could have known that when a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself on fire in a public square, it would incite protests that would topple dictators and start a global wave of dissent. In 2011, protesters didn’t just voice their complaints; they changed the world."
2008: Hope and Change
2011: Global Wave of Dissent

This is stupid. I'm sick of stupid things in this country.
The OWSers are disgusting freeloaders and that's what this idiot magazine honors? As brilliant as giving Biggie O a Nobel prize for thinking!
*
Time continues its long and steep slide into irrelevance. I must have missed them making Tea Partiers “People of the Year” for causing REAL change in the dynamics of American government in 2010.
*
SEIU-organized protests overthrew America-friendly dictators.
There, fixed it for the anti-American media machine.
*
Looking back to the 2010 page it was Mark Zuckerberg with runners up Julian Assange, Hamid Karzai and The Chilean Miners. Didn’t see a mention of The Tea Party on the page.
*
If only the Tea Party had raped and sexually abused people at their protests would they be respected like the OWS and arab springers.

Pick any gray head from a Tea Party rally and I will show you the real person of the year, maybe of the decade
*
I wonder did TIME realize that the seeds of the current protest movement started with start of the Tea Party movement in March 2009?
*
Scanned through the Time article. Only saw one reference to Tea Party Protesters that said they stopped after the 2010 Republican takeover of the House. I guess in Time’s opinion they aren’t really as “valid” as OWS.
*
When the Tea Party was building and changing the United States, we had Time Person of the Year 2009 Ben Bernake for creating an all-time world record deficit with his mismanagement, and Mark Zuckerberg for creating FaceBook. Today’s protesters are unsanitary parasites in the United States and terrorists or their sympathizers and enablers in the Arab world, and Time is celebrating that? Pathetic. I don’t see any reason to read Time. Ever.

The shriveled, old commies at Time are trying to pump life into the moribund neo-hippy movement.
Won’t work, you old commie cranks. Lenin is still dead, and nobody cares.
Long live Che!! Oops, he’s dead, too.
Well, there’s a few old Khmer Rouge mass murderers on trial that Time could worship and praise like it did in the 1970s. Long live Pol Pot!!!

The Year of the Protester?...What bullcrap!...Get a job!

Funny how the MSM never accorded the much larger, much deeper and much more mainstream Tea Party similar honors.
--- Yeah, the Tea Party was way more influential than those Egyptian protests...
Talk about American-centric world view. I am very very certain that there were more than just the OWS protesting this year.
ReplyDeleteHow dare Time not give the Tea Party credit for taking things from bad to worse!

ReplyDeleteI had the privilege of meeting a Libyan protester recently. He's a doctor, which - I think you will agree - IS a job.
