Video: Will Time Magazine’s Person of the Year be Ferguson protesters?
Hot Air ^ | 12/08/2014 | Ed Morrissey

Now that the midterm elections are finally over, we turn now to the important work in December: list making. What were the biggest stories of 2014? Who were the biggest winners and losers in politics? Which 19 cats best depict the state of budgetary debate in the US?

And of course, we await with bated breath the selection of Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. Last year the honor went to Pope Francis, but this year the pontiff will find himself eclipsed by, er … Ferguson protesters?

Of course if just one single person is to be selected as POTY, then it's Al.

Obama and Holder are very much responsible for the looting and rioting. Very much responsible for the hate and racism emanating from Ferguson. But leave it to Not-so-Sharpton for much of the hate and violence that he stirred up in Ferguson.

As much as I hate them, I think an ISIS terrorist should probably be the “Person of the Year”.

Let's see:

They hate America. ✔

They steal. ✔

They are intolerant. ✔

They are destructive. ✔

Yes, could be!

It seems like every year Time chooses as “Person of the Year” whoever or whatever will cause the most outrage, obviously to try to get some free publicity and to get a little boost in their flatlined circulation numbers.

Could be. I think Hillary, Elizabeth Warren, and Lena Dunham will probably all be under consideration for the esteemed leftist award. All of them are outside of the bounds of criticism and continue to rise to greater power and prestige (inexplicably to the rest of us).

The “Person of the Year” is not meant (necessarily) to be an honor; it’s described by Time as being the person who had the biggest influence on the world “for good or ill.”

I know, I know, yada yada yada.

I'm telling you reality. The "Person of the Year" is a publicity stunt to get Time Magazine talked about once a year, which is all they've got left because otherwise nobody even notices them.

Protesters uh...no. Rioters sure. Perfect for a left wing mag.

Perhaps I’m just a stickler for English, but person is a singular noun and the protestors are plural. How can many people be considered for an award given to a person (singular)? Just sayin’
