3. Did you know that * supporters think that Time only named him POY so

they can point out the bad things he did this year? (Since POY isn't necessarily an "award". It just means the person impacted the world a lot.) I find that pretty absurd, but apparently many * supporters think the MSM is anti-*.

6. No big deal...He joins Hitler

Time's person of the year is the person with the most impact--for good or evil. Hitler also won it. Bush is in good company.

7. Stalin won it twice, didn't he?

[StClone]

11. Infamy

Bush will be on the cover and it will be a bad thing for him.

[AntiCoup2K4]

8. Stalin won in 37 and Hitler in 38. And Bin Laden was the choice for 2001

Osama was only pulled at the 11th hour because the "award" generally IS seen as complimentary.

10. Did Saddam win a couple of years ago or maybe it was OBL?

12. I'm keeping my subscription

I hate to see Bush on the cover of anything but "person of the year" is not an endorsement. Bush has created the largest deficit in our history, his tax cuts if made permanant as planned will create a tremendous gap between our wealthiest and poorest citizens. He has corrupted politics by his lies and mislead the American people. He has been a divisive figure worldwide and thrives on his ability to divide people. He invaded two contries, killed numerous noncombatants and may have created another Iran from Iraq. His policy of pre-emptive war has set coutries on edge and is aiding nuclear expansion.

Bush had certainly had an impact, much like previous individuals such as Hitler and Stalin and runner ups like Bin Laden.

According to Time, the winner must be “the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or for ill, and embodied what was important about the year, for better or for worse,” he said.

American aviator Charles Lindbergh was Time’s first “Man of the Year” in 1927. Some selections have been notoriously unpopular, such as Adolf Hitler in 1938, Joseph Stalin in 1939 and 1942, and Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1979.

I'll wait and see what the magazine says.

16. You'll wait and see what the "Rag" says????

Face it, you hold a subcription to a magazine involved in bullsh*t propaganda in America's own "1984" storyline.....

Time Magazine is owned by Time-Warner, who also owns CNN who is part of the cable cartel that fixed our primaries, trashed Kerry and protected their native son, Bush to this day.

Guess the election is over and Time-Warner (parent Co. of CNN) has settled on paying the SEC 510 Million dollars as a settlement stemming from the Income Stock/advertising AOL fraud case that the Gov. has been hanging over their heads for the last 1.5 years.

The selection of Bush as Person of the Year is probably the difference between Time-Warner paying 510 million vs. 4 billion for the fraud it committed. Costly deal...but what's a multinational media corporation to do when the Governmnet has you by the balls?

To be honest, I don't give a rat's ass that Time Magazine selected *; nor what Time Magazine thinks; nor what they report. It's all bullshit and propaganda anyways. I'll leave it up to the Sheeples to find this "person of the year" turd food to be interesting and thought provoking.

Time Warner Settles AOL Fraud Charges
Thu Dec 16, 7:55 AM ET
Media giant Time Warner Inc. agreed Wednesday to pay $510 million to settle government charges of accounting fraud at its troubled America Online unit, freeing the company to use its stock for acquisitions.

settlement would remove the uncertainty clouding the future of the world's largest entertainment company accused by regulators of inflating the advertising revenue of its Internet service provider.

Wall Street had been expecting a deal, because Time Warner set aside $500 million last month to resolve problems with the government. Time Warner stock has climbed more than 15% since.

The two-pronged agreement would be with both the Justice Department (news - web sites) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (news -web sites). It must be approved by SEC commissioners.

Wall Street analysts had been prepared a year ago for the accounting debacle to cost Time Warner as much as $4 billion in penalties and litigation. But Chief Executive Richard Parsons took a hard stance with regulators, refusing to admit guilt even though that might have more quickly resolved the investigations.

15. The title is, in ignorance, assumed to be an honor.

There was a massive public backlash in the United States after TIME named Ayatollah Khomeini Man of the Year in 1979. Since then, TIME has often shied away from choosing overly controversial candidates. TIME's Person of the Year 2001 — in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks — was New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani. It was a somewhat controversial result; many thought that Giuliani was deserving, but also many thought that the rules of selection ("the individual or group of individuals who have had the biggest effect on the year's news") made the obvious choice Osama bin Laden. They cited previous choices such as Adolf Hitler demonstrating that Man of the Year did not necessarily mean "Best Human Being of the Year".
