Demon and Idol
Protesters blast Coulter at the G.O.P. Convention in New York City last year

They soooo need letters to correct their incorrect usage of the photo.

[Rockitz]

I made up a sign for a Bush Rally in Santa Monica that said "Liberate the People's Republic of Santa Monica" and got huge applause from the DIMocrats in attendance protesting Bush's appearance.

Isn't that second picture Laura Ingraham?

[lutz]

What about the 'Liberating Iraqi Children ... Co$ting too Much' sign?

[Jabba the Nutt]

"They were so enamored of the photo of Ann with her mouth sadistically taped closed that they didn't look closely enough. Superb!

You see, that picture proved their thesis that Ann Coulter is 'divisive'. Look at the reaction she caused! It was too good for Time to pass up. LOL!

[Toskrin]

What about the 'Liberating Iraqi Children ... Co$ting too Much' sign?

The top half of the top text is cut off. They cut off everything above a horizontal line from the top of the "A" in her name.

[Helms]

Isn't that second picture Laura Ingraham?>>>>>>>>>>Yep. In Africa. She and Rush are the people I listen to the most and subscribe to both on the web.

Obviously, the folks at Time didn't think twice about the phrases "reactionary neo-imperialistic criminal" or "CommunistsForKerry"!

No leftist bias here! lol

This song is proudly featured on YOU'VE BEEN FREEPED, Vol. 1 ---

MIDI - I AM WOMAN

I am woman with a gun
I won’t take crap from anyone
So you rapists better stay away from me

If you dare to take the chance
I’ll shoot off something in your pants
Well, just try me and I guess you’re gonna see

Oh yes, I have found I am safe if I am carrying
I am not the one that someone will be burying
I’m determined…I will protect myself
I’m well-trained…I am invincible…I am packing

I am woman with a gun
And, I’m not fearing anyone
And, I warn muggers that I won’t be easy prey

I have practiced every week
If it is trouble that they seek
Then they’ll find out that it is not their lucky day

Oh yes, I have found I am safe if I am carrying
I am not the one that someone will be burying
I’m determined…I will protect myself
I’m well-trained…I am invincible…I am packing

I am woman with a gun
And, I am warning everyone
That if you break into my house you’re gonna die

I don’t have the time to wait
Because the police are always late
And I will fill bad guys with lead…I’m not too shy

Oh yes, I have found I am safe if I am carrying
I am not the one that someone will be burying
I’m determined…I will protect myself
I’m well-trained…I am invincible

I’m not into victimhood…being armed is really good
I think every woman should

does the print version have a caption, and if so, what is it??

[Gondring]

This is a "red-handed" catch; the print version is cropped very distinctly--it eliminates the proper context, and the lie is supported by the caption on p.35:

DEMON AND IDOL
Protestors blast Coulter at the G.O.P. Convention in New York City last year, above left. She addresses the Conservative Politidcal Action Conference in Wasbhington in February (sic)

Note: the entire point of the caption would have been destroyed unless the photo was distorted. Let's hear some outrage!

[Flashlight]

the "Ann addresses CPAC" caption is refering to another picture, correct?
also, are you saying that Time misspelled both "Politidcal" and "Wasbhington"?

[Gondring]

argh...sorry.
typing on laptop.
They didn't have a period at end. the typos are my own, from not realizing the spell check hadn't actually gone through.

There were two photos...the CPAC was a separate photo, yes.

[CharlieOK1]

this is a friggin outrage. Goebbels is smiling up from Hell

[Flashlight]

ha ha. thanks. glad to know Time can at least spell.
that's too funny though - cropping just under "communists for Kerry" - they just loved that poster so much they were determined to show it.

[Polybius]

This WAS used in the print article. But they cropped it!!! They cut it off just below communistsforkerry.com. You can't tell it's a pro-Coulter sign. You can't see the "Criminals for Gun Control" at all! Our "objective" media at work again.

So much the better.

In a future book, Ann Coulter can use that cropped photo and juxtapose it with the uncropped photo to demonstrate how Time Magazine used the editing of photos for propaganda purposes just as the Soviets once did.

The Commissar Vanishes..............Photographs can lie. ...............They certainly do in the Soviet Union from 1929 to 1953, the years of Joseph Stalin's dictatorial rule. Stalin's agents routinely arrest and kill as "enemies of the people" anyone who disagrees with his politics. Communist Party workers then try to remove any trace of these people from the photographic archives, and so from the media. ...................... The Commissar Vanishes exhibition explores this censored history. By the 1930s Communist "truth" circulates worldwide in party approved books. With airbrush or ink spot, the photo censors work quietly. But despite their power, they ultimately fail. The images expose decades of photographic lies. It's a stark visual tour through a society where freedom is not an option -- the culture of control that goes on to create the Berlin Wall.

[Flashlight]

just thought of something - the two pictures ("protesters" and CPAC speaking) were meant to illustrate "Demon and Idol."

in other words, the protest picture was only meant to show Ann as a "Demon." (the "Idol" refers to the CPAC picture.)

So Time fixed the problem on the web site by changing "Demon" to "Idol." now I get it.

[Seaplaner]

TIME Magazine editors, are you trying to be the Dan Rather of the print media?

Nice going!

We will have to remember to bring this up, over-and-over, as we examine Time's credentials during the next couple of election cycles.

Unrelated, the Time editors managed to find an exquisitely softened photo of Barbara Boxer in the same issue (makes her look 90 yrs younger.) The photo is as gooshie as the 10 softball questions for the intellectually challenged senator.

>>Did a quick google on Katja Heinemann. She's German, she may have not understood the "nuance" of the Protest Warriors,<<

Yeah. . .but her editors surely did. . .and they screwed up.
