Time’s Person of the year: The Protester
So Time magazine has named it’s Person of the Year and it’s “The Protester”. The accompanying article starts out pretty good, chronicling the rise of the protests in the Middle East, but then they go off their rockers and include the filthy hippie scum which have been begging for a good old fashioned ass kicking the last few months.
Time actually says that “they changed the world”. The only thing they’ve changed is the wway many Americans look at the spoiled rich brats who would rather whine than look for jobs and improve their lot in life.
The nonleader leaders of Occupy are using the winter to build an organization and enlist new protesters for the next phase. They have shifted the national conversation.
Yeah, they’ve shifted the conversation from one of hope for future to one of head-shaking disdain for the spoiled brats we’ve raised.

Is this the same Time magazine that basically ignored the Tea Party rallies except to paint that movement as a bunch of greedy old white racists?
And Time slides further into irrelevancy.
The nonleader leaders of Occupy are using the winter to build an organization and enlist new protesters for the next phase.
HEY! WTF happened to the “Valley Forge” bit? Oh, wait a minute, you mean they would have had to STAY OUTSIDE all winter, with the starvation, disease, etc., that went with it?
Personally, in a perverse sort of way, I really hope they DO come back next year. Being an election year and all, it’ll be a real simple choice for most sane voters–either you want a return to semi-responsible LIMITED government, or you want they kind of “gimme” shit they want and that the Dems embraced publicly.
Oh, don’t kid yourselves, the liberals still support these assdouches, but it’s an election year and they can’t come out and say it like they did in the beginning.
Nice job, Time. Kinda like voting “Present.”
But then again, they created the “Occupy” and “Arab Spring” (thank you Julian Assange) movements and failed to cover the relevent bona fide newsmakers throughout the year(see Paul Ryan, Steven Harper in Canada, Angela Merkel in Germany, Gen. Petraeus, Rupert Murdoch, etc.) Even Obama deserves it more than “the protestors,” even if you disagree with him.
Oh, protesters have brought change, that is true. But destabilizing North Africa may not be the kind of “change” that Time will enjoy over the next few years.
Their New Year editorial will probably be about how the children of today will be the adults of tomorrow.
What a crock of shit!
So, they are actually making a public comparison of the occuturds with jihadists?? Now, that is a very sweet link.
Thanks, “Time.”
If Time would have focused on the fruit vendor who set himself on fire, then I can see that logic because it was the impetus for huge change, albeit dangerous change, but change nonetheless. But from my perspective, they got it wrong with the Occupy people. There is a very noticeable and obvious backlash against the Occupy protesters from the majority of regular people, which actually can have the effect of diminishing large-scale protests due to the lack of coherency, obvious socialism (without using the term), and general reputation for crime and fleabaggery. The Tunisian guy literally sparked protests and change while the Occupy people ultimately attracted a reputation for fleas and crime.
Great, just what the occutards need to inflate their own heads and egos.
I can also see somewhat the Middle East protestors. These ordinary citizens continued to protest in the streets for what they believe in, even though they are being massacred for it. Even babies aren’t spared from the brutality.
And then you have these spoiled occutards. Clueless, deviant, drugged out losers, who scream of police brutality if a police even farts in their direction.
Pathetic.
People still read Time?
Everyone who did not see this coming, raise your hand. When they made the Occutards the “Story of the Year”, it just naturally follows that the Occutards would be the “Person of the Year”.
Tman hit it out of the park, “clueless, deviant, drugged out losers”, indeed.
Yes because taunting police with your child on your lap is just as big of a sacrifice as having to form a human barricade around the museum around the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities to keep it from being from looted.
Damnit stoopid head injury strikes again…
Time’s Man of the Year for 1938 – Adolph Hitler That’s all I have to say…
Really?
Really?
Glad I don’t subscribe to that rag…
