Karl Rove in Running for Time's Person of the Year

[Dixon Cox]

I think I'm going to throw up. :puke:

[PROGRESSIVE1]

1. oh hitler fuck!

:puke:

[shraby]

3. Hitler was Time's man of the year too, years ago.

[saigon68]

25. Rove is a disgusting pig

Sucking air through his fat lips like a carp out of water.

[PurityOfEssence]

47. and he should have been

It's not an endorsement of morality, it's an acknowledgment of significance.

Lest we forget, Henry Luce was a cold-blooded monarchistic fuck, famous for dismissing his blatant skewing of the news by saying "I'll give them the news I want them to have."

You're absolutely right, and for consistency's sake, I'd be perfectly fine with Rove taking the crown. As far as I can tell, Rove's actions have had more of an impact on the world this year than anyone else.

[GainesT1958]

5. Took the words right out of my mouth...

"Chip" Rove would join Hitler in receiving that "honor" should (God forbid) he win!:eyes:

B-)

[iamjoy]

7. Yes, Hitler Was Once Too

Man of the Year is not always a compliment, although many see it as such.

MOTY is supposed to be the person who had the biggest influence on news. In 2001 they wanted it to be Osama bin Laden but were worried about the backlash when people would see it as an award.

[Art_from_Ark]

48. And Joseph Stalin was MOTY for '42

[katinmn]

2. Add Time to the boycott list!

they have to be out of their minds to even consider legitimizing that creature

[Verve]

61. How Do We Stop This? Does anyone have their email address

so we can bombard TIME with all the reasons they better not do this? If they do end up making KKKarl man of the year, just think of the egg on their face when he goes to jail for rigging the election.

[glitch]

4. I hope he wins - something as ugly as his mug on the cover of Time might

just wake a few more people up.

[Newsjock]

I agree

Shining more light on this treasonous criminal is the most effective way to counter him.

[JI7]

14. good point, i agree

[NEOBuckeye]

50. This may not be the best thing for Rove

Anything that sheds light on that bastard and his dirty tactics isn't necessarily the best thing for him. Until now, he's generally been used to running around in the shadows. After appearing on Time, more people will begin to look at and examine Rove for his role in the Bush machine and it's re-selection. They may find much about him is less than savory.

Though I was hoping to see him discredited and disgraced by a Kerry victory over his rotten strategy, sometimes winning the battle only delays a catastrophic, crushing defeat at the end of a long war. A lot of good Rove's supposed "genius" is, if it leads the country down a dark path to disaster. Would it not be worse for him to be ultimately known in history as a man who had a key role in destroying the United States?

[MaineYooper]

6. breathe

Remember that Hitler also was named a person of the year. My understanding is that it's meant to be recognition of impact, and not necessarily in a good way.

[grumpy old fart]

58. Getting harder to Breathe

And getting harder every day this evil cabal is in power. On the road to Armageddon, and most of the country just doesn't get it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Are they going to change the name of that "honor"

to "Flaming Douchebag of the Year"?

[ohioliberal]

9. Satan's right hand man!

[RevolutionaryActs]

10. You must be shitting me!

AHHHHH GOD NO MAKE IT STOP! :puke:

I'm too young to have to deal with this! :puke:

[Xipe Totec]

11. You mean he's human?

go figure.

[thedailyshow]

12. I wouldn't buy that cover at all

[FlyByNight]

13. "Person"?

Apparently, actually being human isn't a requirement for this award.

:puke:

[Triana]

15. criminal of the year, perhaps...

...Satan of the year?

[Catt03]

16. I cancelled Time

Read it for years but could not tolerate their right swing the last couple of years.

I am sure it is due to Parsons, Time Warner, a big Bush supporter.

Sad. Used to love Time.

[Mizmoon]

17. ROTFLMAO - Burn, baby, burn

I hope they fucking do it.

[bubblebuttbeauty]

18. Wasn't Big Dawg Person of the Year Twice?

:shrug:

[Catchawave]

19. Jon Stewart?

If Time chooses Rove, we are in deep doo-doo gang ::sigh::

[peacetalksforall]

20. President Rove? He couldn't fit on a Time cover better. (words intended)

[Massacure]

21. I'd laugh if Shrub got nailed by a fraud bombshell the day after

Rove wins that.

Do they decide early enough that Kerry could still win on a fraud bombshell if it were to happen?

EDIT: LMAO

" Some selections have been notoriously unpopular, such as Adolf Hitler in 1938, Joseph Stalin in 1939 and 1942 and the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979.

Bush was named Person of the Year in 2000. "

[dave502d]

22. TOILET PAPER. n/t

[Mist]

29. Yep

Time's been bumf for at least 15 years.....

[Dixon Cox]

23. There's some hope!

Mel Gibson and Michael Moore are also in the running. That ought to turn some repugs' stomachs. Don't think it'll happen though since his ultimate goal wasn't achieved.

[nevergiveup]

24. I think the "spineless Bush voter" should be man of the year

Never in the history of this country have so many people collectively in one day been so ignorant. Talk about impact on the world.....God, it is frightening!

[burpsalot]

27. They could put the "moran" guy on the cover.

I think he represents the "spineless Bush voter" pretty well, don't you?

[BlueStatesForever]

28. They seriously considered Osama in 2001

But there was a huge backlash so they used Rudy "it's the troops' fault that the weapons are missing" Guiliani

69. Hear, Hear! n/t

[restorefreedom]

26. Ayatollah Khomeni was it in 1979..

So it's not like they only pick good guys.

[witchhazl]

31. It could be Bev Harris once this Volusia Cty fraud hits the papers.

She's got solid proof now, on film, so the issue of election fraud & the need for recounts will finally hit mainstream by Thursday at the latest. If it doesn't snowball from there, then I'll know this country's really in trouble.

[Catch22Dem]

30. He gets my vote!

Seriously. Even WITH the fraud and theft on 11/2, millions of people still voted legitimately for *. Somehow, Rove was able to polish a turd. Man of the year. If I could put his name in the running for fascist fucking pig of the year, he'd be a shoe in.

[w4rma]

60. He gets my vote too. (nt)

[UCLA Dem]

32. i think i'm going to be sick.

:puke:

[carolinalady]

33. Remember...Osama was on that list too.....

[judgegina]

34. He deserves it.

I can't stand him, but he deserves it.

[Booster]

35. Is Time now doing "Asshole of the Year"; winner, hands down.

[VegasWolf]

36. A thief for man of the year. good old times magazine.

[proudbluestater]

37. ABC News made the asshole "Person" of the Week Already

The week of that thing we used to call an election happened.

I wish the main-stream media cartel would just shut up and die. I can seriously get better news here when I go to the Pravda's English site. I am not joking.

Sorry for too many posts. I kept getting an error saying the post was not working, I had an error.

Don't know how to delete a message. Maybe a MOD will happen by SOON???

[Maat]

41. Testing posting ... testing posting. Over.

[VegasWolf]

43. I'm getting that same spurious message, just ignore it and everything

works out.

[jhain]

42. i thought that was reserved for humans n/t

[DuaneBidoux]

44. He'll get it-and deserves it. It is awarded based on power and impact

A Machiavellian kind of award. Anyone can do it, if they've changed enough things. The things they change can be turning gold into shit piles-but if you changed that gold into shit piles at a world record pace you may be qualified to become "Time's Person of the Year."

[MissMarple]

45. That is a stupid thing to do. Trust me. And listen.

[Only Me]

46. Bush to? They gotta have 'No character' guidelines for those two. n/t

[banana republican]

49. didn't times also nominate Adolf Hitler n/t???

[Divine Discontent]

51. i just LOVE

people that read the top link, ignore all the replies, and then expect EVERYONE else to read their post ---- HELLO!!!??? Adolf Hitler Time Man of the Year??? Really, boy I'm SOOOO glad you told us that! We didn't see those other posts above that said the same DAMN thing...

I need to sleep, these morons are really getting to me tonight.. must be indigestion over this LBN story, and Kindasleezi Rice getting the super important S.O.S. position...


I can't take much more. :wtf: :puke: :puke :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[DeaconBlues]

52. As has been said, he should be in the running just because of his

significance. All the same, I am glad I gave up my subscriptions to the mainstream news rags a few years ago.

[Norquist Nemesis]

53. If Rove is Time's MOY it's PROOF

there is no Liberal media.

[American Tragedy]

54. What's wrong? Did you pay attention to this election? He deserves it!

Think about it. He was head of the campaign that successfully cast an arrogant, spoiled brat with a chip on his shoulder as a better choice for president than an intelligent, sensitive, socially conscientious war hero.

Was there any single figure with greater influence on the outcome of this year's election, which in turn bears an overwhelming effect on the course of future history? He appealed to the worst of human nature: hatred, fear, xenophobia, bigotry, ignorance, jealousy, and greed. Whether you are willing to accept it or not, for all practical purposes he won, and in turn destroyed our faith in the American people almost irrevocably.

It's been a terrible mistake of the media in the past to ignore Karl Rove. In turn, it is a mistake for you to underestimate him. We might be in a very different position today if others in the Kerry campaign had spent more time studying and countering the social psychology of Karl Rove. I'm glad that somebody is finally drawing attention to this political parasite, even though it may be too late.

George Bush is only the mask. Karl Rove is definitely Man of the Year.

[suegeo]

55. We know you stole it again Karl

It must be tough to never feel love.

Think about these things (they must be eating Karl alive inside): Karl's got a corrupt Supreme Court, a corrupt media, a corrupt Republic party, corrupt voting machines and Sec of States, and the 9.11 Reichstag Fire
AND STILL THE THINKING PEOPLE REJECT KARL'S IDEAS AND THE MAN KARL LOVES.

Bush wasn't elected this time either. It must be miserable to be Karl.

I'd almost feel sorry for Karl but his party is wreaking havoc and misery on a planetary scale, so he gets no pity from me.

[Roland99]

56. At least it's not Lyndie England

[rocktivity]

57. Congrats, Georgie! You've found your mandate...

you're a figurehead.

Now we don't have to pretend that Rove isn't really running the country anymore.
