Deja vu
He got this for breaking the US Constitution?
it's easy when you own the media....plus this shows time's falling relevance
didnt recognize him without the teleprompter
Angry Mulatto Man
time person of the year - it's like a Who's Who list of war criminals and oligarchs
1937, 1938, 1939, 1942, 1964, 1972, 1979, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012
GREAT track record
Look at the great wizard. Pay no attention to the Zionists behind the curtain.
Has Barry “Double-Tap” O’bummer returned his Nobel Peace Prize yet?

oh he is the man of the year alright, just not for the reasons most people would think.
selling your soul apparently allows you to reap many worldly rewards... hell of a bill to pay at the end however....
MSM great cock suck. Its good to be the king on a ship of fools.
NWA in the WH.
Speaking of bills. How does Jersey, er, broke-ass Jersey, have the money to cough up $250 a pop for guns?

My eyes are tearing up...
Why is the Time Magazine cover not in the traditional red frame?
.
Why is the picture all dark and grey?
.
The person of the year shouldnt look all down and depressed...why so serious?
.
It looks like a funeral picture.
.
Is something bad going to happen to #44? If you believe in numerology (like 'they' do)...#44 is not a good number.
The person of the year should be the brainless Obama VOTER, for being the most ignorant, bigoted, stupid, destructive force known to MANKIND.
I tune in to Rush once every couple of weeks to get a chuckle, and he calls them "Low Information Voters", which is right up there with "for those of you in Rio Linda, that means...".
I don't know that picking the other choice would make much difference in the end. You are not really voting with these parties, you are playing the same game of three card monte, and you can't win three card monte.
I didn't mean to imply that voting for McCain or Romney would have made a significant difference...more along the lines of the fact that Obama doesn't have as much influence as most would think. It's the willful ignorance of the public and the insidious nature of the media that are protecting Obama's virtually unlimited power and feeding his ego. These people have more influence on the decline of the US than Obama.
Edit: Time wants to name the person with the most significant impact on the direction of the world, and I think the Obama voter (supporter - including the media that is suppressing information that makes him look bad) is the most influential.
If you're not angry, you're not paying attention.
I'll come back to this thread in 24 hours and I will collect the best replies (there will be many) ... yes ZH is a really good place with great articles day after day but more often than not it's the wit, the repartee and general spot-on remarks by its readers that is the cream on top of the cake.
All the best for 2013 to all (looks like we gonna need it)!
THat would make a soggy cake, wouldn't it?
You can tell he's French: nary a wiff of an idea what "soggy biscuit" entails.
The best thing about frogs is the krauts kill them every 50 years or so.
The dear leader has a soggy bottom...full of banker semen
Just wait until the public realizes we are in a second recession, that ass is going to be hurting.
I agree, French Frog. Our beloved little Bamster is worth a trillion laughs a year; he's the comedy gift that keeps on giving.
Well since he doesn't have a Birth Certificate, at least he now has some proper ID when he goes around to buy beer...
aaah the jedi drone master takes the prize. with adam lanza coming in a close 2nd. give me a fuckin break what a joke.
The "junks" you see up there were photoshopped in...
and you know what francis, if anyone needed more proof that our 2 party system is a fucking joke....if you were on the other team, you would be raising hell about this...but crickets....hell when i played little league and the other team had a big kid that dominated, our coaches demanded proof of his age...see that is how the "other" team should react.....so other than being a thousand other reasons why they are a hoax, this point seems to be the easist in trying to convince the sheep.....but sheep usually just hold their ears and run away...they would just rather believe, its so much easier....my son is to graduate h.s this year and he has such a difficult time and he hates going, because if you're sheep you're an outcast, and these fucking programmers, i mean teachers help promote this despicable thought process...
In the end... Notwithstanding the absurdity of the Birth Certificate situation... It IS useful to some degree... It's a barometer... It's a piece of litmus paper...
IOW ~ it has it's use in determining whether, in conversation. a person is worth your time or not... I'm done trying to 'change people's minds' about:
- 9/11
- Obama's Birth Certificate
- Why it's odd that this country is less than 2% jews, yet they control the majority of mass media production & distribution, banking, & political activism
- Why they should buy gold, or food, or ammo
They get it or they don't... But 'situations' like that are useful because their POV is highly radioactive & thus moves the needle of the 'SHEEP-O-METER'...
On CNN, a Time spokesperson said it was a "safe choice". Does that mean it saves the Time staff from being rounded up and put into camps?
Time Mag edtors have 'temporarily' been removed from the drone KILL list... Now QUIET!!! Nowthat Django is 'Unchained' he needs to go kill him some white people...
Edit: ObaMAO joins an elite [POY] group consisting of Hitler, Stalin (twice), Truman [the year he dropped two A-Bombs on Japan], QEII, Westmoreland, Tricky Dick, Kissinger, Ayatollah Khomeini, Ronnie Raygun, Poppy Bush, Newt Grigrich, [Clinton & Kenneth Starr ~ together], Junior Bush, Giuliani, The Bernank...
Time LOVES itself some warmongers, dictators, & the NWO... (oh ~ & blowjobs during a peacetime economy)...
who buys this pos magazine?
Voters
Too bad the date on the magazine is December 31, 2012... I'da thought Dec 21, 2012 would have been more appropriate...
I subscribed to Newsweek (soon to cease printing on paper), just to keep tabs on what the Progressive/Socialists were telling each other.
and for some strange reason, this reminds me of that year they named the portable computer
who buys this pos magazine? doctors and dentists
media has gone insane.
Another reason to get rid of TV and anything from Hollywood. They want to disarm you - now. If you watch their sh*t then you are helping them make you a serf.
Movies too.
Holy crap, Batman...Hollywood !

Have you seen Time lately? It's like 20 pages long. Time, Newsweek, Network news, they're all dying. The only people who read/watch their news from those sources are those over 40 years old. And every year the cut-off line moves to a higher age. Younger people do not get their news from the MSM, and there is no way for the MSM to get them back. As soon as the "greatest" generation dies off, the MSM is done.
"As soon as the "greatest" generation dies off, the MSM is done."
True, but don't for a minute think the bad people who rule the world won't come after the Internet.
Hahaha. "the greatest generation". Now that's funny!
Well I certainly couldn't have done that, at least not without going to jail. Hey, wait a minute.
A REAL MAN would have the balls to declare war on the constitution, instead of hiding it like a fucking pussy.
Perfect.....Fade to black.............
I guess destroying economies and mass murder pays off...
Please define the term "person".
Frank Marshall Davis, Jr! Following Bill Ayers' and his dad's plan to destroy the US by flooding the welfare rolls.
Don't forget to honor a couple of O.G. saboteurs to the American Republic; Jim Cloward and Francis Fox Piven. They wrote THE seminal work on this concept in 1966 - "The Weight of the Poor".
Boehner got centerfold.
Page 6 girl.
Well, he has the tan for it...
...and he cries like a bitch, doesn't he? Check him for tits.
If you can find balls on him or Obammy I'd be surprised. If you can find four balls on Pelosi I wouldn't be surprised in the least...I know, bad visual...
For better or worse, I seem to start my drinking earlier every day.
I suppose I'm working my way to a 24 hr end state.
Fuck that asshole
This poor country desreves what it gets.
Imagine that...
will we have to put that picture on the wall of every home and office, like in chariman Mao's day?
It was already done at polling places in Philly
well, i think you're offending the memory of Ernesto by comparing him to a maoist......
Khruschev is making his speach denouncing Stalin. At some point during the speach a heckler shouts out: "Hey! Why didn't you do anything to stop him?".
Khruschev shouts back: "Who said that?!". Nobody answered.
Khruschev then says: "Now you know why I did not try to stop him.".
True story.
Where is his cig?
Well...he surely is very FAMOUS...and it IS a magazine...seems about right to me.
Time does say their Person of the Year is the person who most affected the events of the year, "for better or for worse."
Time Magazine is cruel to trees.
I've got too much respect for my parakeet to line his cage with that rag.
and journalism
'Time does say their Person of the Year is the person who most affected the events of the year, "for better or for worse."'
Person of the Year should go to Scooter Braun. Scooter sat there watching youtube videos until he 'discovered' Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepson (Call Me Maybe) and Psy (Gangnam Style).
He either has an amazing sense for what people will like, or he somehow managed to convince groups of people, like the American Olympians, to make parody and lip-synch videos to songs by his two new artists, making them the most famous things on Earth in 2012.
Whether we are better or worse for it, I vote that Scooter is the most influential person of 2012.
Lip synching. That's a good term for what Presidents (and other politicians) do.
I didn't know how I felt about him before but now that he is person of the year I fully support him.
'Amurica'
<<<<< Rolling eyes.
All I can do is, Stare off and mumble.
The kill switch
Hey, what the hell?
I and 75% of other voters voted for North Korean president, it was showed in chart.
YOU MUST BE KIDDING? NO?
Should be "Felon of the Year"
Hail Barry.
Good luck with that.
wow... way to make sure at least the Obama supporters are going to buy this. I guess any publicity is good publicity.
Can you buy magazines with the EBT card?
heil, hitler.
Yes, amazing how many around cyberspace are correlating Time's Man of the Year - Obama & Hitler. History repeating itself as we bear witness? The parallels are way to eery........except Obama hasn't been jailed yet to write his "Mein Kampf" .....or has he?
By gawd, his nose has really grown the past 4 years
"I... have no rules to hold me down..."
that's what you get when you take advice from insects
when you govern from a bar
makes no difference who you are
anything your wallet desires
will come to you...
or "from afar". He always seems like he wishes he was somewhere else.
Good job Barry.
And good luck with 2013 and that debt of yours.
it takes a great leader to blow thru 2.2 trillion in debt ceiling in 16 months.
I wouldn't line my birdcage with that rag...
Right? Who the fuck reads Time anymore?
dup
What's with the coloring of the cover? Has a very Emperor Palpatine vibe going.
Next year, expect his face in a cowl and bolts of lightning
Will he be getting a shiny new Nobel Peace Prize to go with that?
@ CheapPanderingCrony,
Absolutely! for more Drone Humanitarian Bombing, Killing and Murdering of innocent men, women and children in soverign, foreign countries. Where are his tears for those Souls. He's a War Criminal Murderer with Blood on his hands.
Big surprise that Time is choosing to be complicit in the corruption and statism embodied by this fraud.
What about the Time Covers in other locations?
would you expect anything less from that Marxist rag ?
more like time's "the person who destroyed the free world" award...
So the even more superficial gray-haired Obama is "person of the year" instead of the normally superficial natural-haired Obama?
Nice to see Samuel L. Jackson get the proper recognition for his epic " I hate these motherfargin' snakes."
Same shareholders own both Time and the President. Nothing to see here.
Betcha they fire the person that came up with the idea this year. Who's going to buy the magazine? Now if they would have had Obama's employee the drone pilot that blasted the Arab kid on the cover that would have sold.
Obamas face belongs on a casino chip...
or an EBT card
Sainthood is next.
The term “person” means an individual, a trust or estate, a partnership, or a corporation.
The word "person" in legal terminology is perceived as a general word which normally includes in its scope a variety of entities other than human beings. Seee.g. 1 U.S.C. sec 1. Church of Scientology v. U.S. Dept. of Justice (1979) 612F.2d 417, 425.
TIME doesn't care what "person" means. They made the personal computer "Person of the Year" awhile back. The idea is you get someone famous associated with the issue to help sell ads....
where do see me making that claim regarding Time. I was pointing out the government definition of the word which 99.9999999 % of the slaves have no clue of that fact or who they are in the eyes of the government.
He didn't build that.... But he did give assault rifles to drug cartels to kill Americans and Mexicans, and he did give weapons and organize Al-Qaeda in Benghazi to fight for the MB and a new Caliphate.
yeh, with that much inventory moving, he's probably got the psycho shooter market, too!
1938 Man of the year
nice catch
Obama has won twice, does that mean he will kill twice as many people as Hitler?
1937's didn't do too well either:
Pious Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, Man of 1937, was forced to retreat to a "New" West China, where he faced the possibility of becoming only a respectable figurehead in an enveloping Communist movement.
And so, Taiwan was born. Nice call there Time.
Better yet (on Man of the Year 1938):
When without loss of blood he reduced Czechoslovakia to a German puppet state, forced a drastic revision of Europe's defensive alliances, and won a free hand for himself in Eastern Europe by getting a "hands-off" promise from powerful Britain (and later France), Adolf Hitler without doubt became 1938's Man of the Year.
And in Eastern Europe, Man of the Years 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944...
In related news, Obama voted the media his 2012 people of the year.
Most accurate comment on the board, bravo.
Can I get a color 8x10 framed version of that for my office wall? Sig Heil the Chief!
Puppet of the year
Maybe the back cover is more interesting?
We are cursed to live in interesting times!
So when will you Americans start hanging his portrait on the wall behind your desks to show your loyalty?
Bad omen for him.
Time bailout...1,2,3....
scraping bottom, are we?
How fitting. Wasn't Hitler TIME's person of the year as well. TIME having War Criminals and Psycopaths on the front cover is their PsyOP method of operation.
SLIME magazine loves tyrants, always has.
Time has got into the toilet paper business ? Looks like Charmin is in trouble.
It left me speechless for a moment too.
The man who yesterday said of the murdered children in ct..."god called them home"...thereby making the shooter the agent of gods plan. Like Lloyd Blankfein...doing gods work. The man who kills children on a daily basis via drone strikes in sovereign nations The man who doubled the national debt adding more debt than all previous presidents combined. The man who said "it's a failure of leadership" when talking of the debt ceiling. The man who.....
Kim Jong Un is gunna be pissed!
Trying to post pic of Hitler when he was person of the year................doesn't load.......
You have to become one of the "beautiful people" (contributors) to post pics.
pods
It never ceases to amaze me how many "smart" people cannot grasp Time's criteria for their "Man of the Year". I mean, just look at the posts here.
Is that magazine still in circulation?
Droner in Chief.
Both meanings.
Kent Brockman: Springfield has been overrun by a strange and almost certainly evil sect, calling themselves The Movementarians. In exchange for your home and all your belongings, the Leader of this way out... and wrong religion, the Leader claims he'll take believeres to the planet, Blisstonia. Excuse my editorial laugh.
[laughs]
Kent Brockman: But...
[pauses]
Kent Brockman: Ladies and gentlemen, I just learned of a new change in management. Welcome, Movementarians. I love you, perfect Leader... and new CEO of KBBL Broadcasting.
Anyone see if the inside cover has a Brawndo ad?
pods
Just imagine what award he wins when he crushes the 2nd amendment.
What? No halo this time?
Lib media=total ass kissers.
Dude aged 15 years in 4.
All presidents do for the second term. The first term they need to look like a youngster out to change washington. The second term they need to look like the regal leader who has grown into the job and is responsible.
Psy Op bullshit. Obama has done less work than any president in history. His wife parties like the house slave who finds the master died in his sleep.
I'm pretty sure it's a combination of the job and the cocaine, but that's pure conjecture on my part, officer.
... and being forced to sexually please the Wookie.
