Why does Time Magazine name "the protestor" person of the year bother Repubs so much?

[ClosedCaption]

Michelle Malkin was whining on Fox this morning. Not course she deployed the gripe that goes like this

"instead of doing *blank* they should've done *blank*"

Which is always the complaint of the person without any real complaints. So why do repubs disagree or hate every protest or protestor?

doesn't bother me. I disagree with the choice, but hell... they chose Hitler once too.

 

[Jackson]

Closed Caption, it wasn't that anyone is against "protestors" but many of us feel that the OWs made a mockery of our privilege her in America. We have the right to protest our government but not break laws or rules set before us. We are a civilized country and the OWs clearly went out of bounds. Add to this they couldn't agree on a coherent unified message from any location they were in.

Actually, there's a long tradition of such peaceful occupations here in America.

One example that comes to mind is the lunch counter sit-ins.

Those sitting in were breaking the laws and rules set before them-and it's a good thing that they did.

Another example is the Bonus Army occupation.

 

[Zander]

I certainly don't mind. I am surprised they are still around. They have lost 25% of their sales over the past 10 years. That's gotta hurt.

EDIT: it is worse than I thought...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_(magazine)

During the second half of 2009 the magazine saw a 34.9% decline in news stand sales.[11] During the first half of 2010, there was another decline of at least one third in Time magazine sales. In the second half of 2010, Time magazine newsstand sales declined by about 12% to just over 79 thousand copies per week.

But they had a clear message, too. And good leaders who spoke for all of them. There were resisting arrest, but you have to admit, there were no assaults, breaking drug laws. and they got permits for the most part.

Jackson can you name one protest the repubs didn't auto attack or even support? When you rack your brain to find the answer will you apply those same excuses "location, breaking the rules, abuse of protesting Rights as I see it"

You will, because republicans just don't do or like protestors of any kind. They like the status quo

 

[theDoctorisIn]

It only bothers people who are intent on maintaining the status quo.

The Boston Tea Party was made up of dirty, anti-establishment types who stole and destroyed a significant amount of private property, trespassed, and didn't get a permit.

Not to mention, you don't need a "permit" to protest, at least in NY.

Time Mags stupid Theme "persons of the year" are starting to run thin.

Were more legit when Hitler was Person of The Year (most influential)1938

only one time ??

And in their Person of the Century issue they made a big explanation for why Einstein was Person of the Century and not Hitler.

OWS has a clear message. Do you think it's an accident that they started on Wall Street? Wall Street just about destroyed the world economy, and yet they paid very little price. The rest of us are supposed to pay the price for them.

Every one of your complaints was leveled at Civil Rights protestors. That they had bad associations and bad goals and that they were violent.

No one got a permit for a lunch counter sit-in. The lunch counters were segregated, by law, and black people who sat there were breaking the laws.

Those good leaders you speak about, you should read how they were portrayed at the time. But youll notice a striking similarity between what they used to call those good leaders and the opinion you hold for OWS.

Because they're essentially conformists. After all, keep in mind that the 'conservative' colonists of the late 18th century supported King George.

I doubt if republicans care very much about the antics of the dying Time magazine. Maybe they will get a small spike in subscriptions out of it. Thet's the intent isn't it?

Most conservatives simply lack the ability to objectively analyze and discuss significant events and how they impact society. It’s a sad consequence of adhering blindly to rightist dogma and keeping one's head deep in the echo chamber.

 

[whitehall]

The issue is an indication that libs use emotion rather than reason. A lot of things "bother" libs so they assume that republicans are as emotional as they are. I venture a guess that not many people on either side care who Time magazine likes or whether Jen Anniston is really pregnant with twins..
