Time Magazine had Hitler on its cover three times. I don't know what reaction it generated at the time but that Hitler managed to end up the cover three times, I would have to assume, Time Magazine didn't garner enough criticism to prevent them from having him on the cover as many times as he did.

HYPE a rag that isn’t selling as much anymore!!!
WHATEVER it takes, right???

[dfwgator]

They could have used a picture of him, that won’t make chicks go, “Wow, he’s dreamy.”

[GBA]

This should be fun to watch.

Rolling Stone is being provacative. The same way a hooker dresses provacative. They need attention to sell their goods.

Rolling Stone, like a lot of the media is irrelevent and nobody is paying any attention to them.

This is their way of getting attention.... It worked...unfortunately.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Don’t laugh. There is a Facebook group of young girls who do agree that he’s “dreamy”. AND they are raising money for his defense!!

[dfwgator]

Doesn’t shock me a bit.

Dzhokhar was a good boy, just tryin’ to turn his life around...waitin’ on Ramadan...lovin’ his Islam.....

Time Magazine had Hitler on its cover three times.

Not only that, he was Time's Man of the Year in 1938--the next year, it was Stalin.

[Fiji Hill]

Now that he’s got his picture on the cover, he can buy five copies for his mother!

[dfwgator]

He’s gonna buy five copies for his mother.

[Tzimisce]

It’s a big liberal magazine making a hero out of a guy who targeted a big liberal event in the bluest section of the voting map.

If you can’t follow all the ironies in that, I can’t help you.

[PGR88]

They put him on the cover because he looks like a young Bob Dylan

I watches the video and I saw Crystal scream when she realized she was going to die. I saw Todd’s legs as they wheeled him away. Joker is not cool...joker needs to be terminated.

[SkyDancer]

Who knew Mic Jagger’s band owned a rag?

[CGASMIA68]

Want a useful BOYCOTT this is it,Well see whos in whos out ,Outs need to be outed for ever!!

[dfwgator]

They might as well borrowed the line from their Jim Morrison cover.

“He’s Hot....He’s Sexy....And He’s a Terrorist”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I wonder how much the Saudis paid Rolling Stone to put him on the cover?

[MinuteGal]

The filthy mag-rag should have shown a picture of the 8 year-old boy torn apart by the bomb....with the top half of his body on the cover and his bottom half on the back cover.

The Rolling Stone sickos might as well be hung for a cow as a calf if it's attention they want. /s

Lets think back in time.

In the 1770’s a newsmagazine which which porrayed George III on its cover as a hero would be ripped off the stands and burned, the presses would be wrecked, and the printer tarred and feathered and road out of town on a rail.

Interesting. Who is worse, Tsarnaev or George III? I don’t think its George III.
