This was discussion on another thread as to who would get Time's prestigious Man of the Year award. It was suggested that John O'Neill should. It just seems unlikely that this will come to fruition. So who needs Time, anyhoo? Freeper tazannie suggested that we have our own "Man of the Year" awards and Jim gave his blessing to let the nominations begin!

I suggested that the winner be the guest of honor at the Freeper Ball. Wouldn't that be a blast?

Buckhead

Because this outstanding effort has been ongoing treasure here at FR ~ I nominate pookie18 for the Today's Toons posts!

These posts brought smiles, even on days when things looked pretty darned bleak. Thx, pookie18!!

If we're nominating a Freeper it's Buckhead. If we are opening it to activists everywhere it's John O'neill. I suggest one of each.

[MeekOneGOP]

Jim Robinson and Buckhead.

Bustin' Dan Bla^ther over the FAKE documents!!

[Stonedog]

Buckhead baby! He fired the shot that started a revolution.

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh, yeah. Definitely. I second those, as well as the two I just nominated (JimRob and Buckhead)!

Way to go, Swiftboat Vets!!

Without a doubt, the man of the year is Ronald Wilson Reagan:

Reagan's death captivated the nation who mourned in tribute for a month. Reagan's conservative movement is still alive today and is being carried on by President Bush. Reagan was more influential on George W's poltics than his own father. The biggest stories of the year were Bush/GOP winning the election and Reagan's death. Both of those stories involve the greatest man of the 20th Century whose legacy still goes strong even after his long fight with alztimers ended.

How about a sharing of the title...a tie....O'Neill and Buckhead.

[Armedanddangerous]

Buckhead the Giant Killer

[Politicalmom]

Yup.

[Corin Stormhands]

Well darn, if it's not going to be me, I'd vote for Buckhead.

[Darksheare]

Buckhead, TankerKC, John and Jim Rob.

I have not read all the posts, and BUCKHEAD is certainly the odds on favorite. BUT, there are other notable FReepers who are always in the trenches doing the good fight, Tonk - Meek - The Mods, are just a few.

So my vote goes to BUCKHEAD for the 2004 FReeper of the year, but JimRob/WE should consider a couple more names for honorable mention in 2004:

Jerome Corsi - FReeper Author - "Unfit for Command"
MeekOneGOP - FReeper Pinger 2004

Get my drift? And for the rest, there is always 2005.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks for that...but I have already experienced that particular honor once and am in no position, either as a result of new actions on my part, or because of the impact of former actions, to be considered for such an honor again.

My vote is for Buckhead, 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub, or Interesting Times.

[Little Ray]

The Marlborough Man, or the Marine that popped the terrorist that was playing possum.

[abner]

I vote for John O'Neill, Nick Danger, and Interesting Times, plus Bob and Dio and everybody that had ANYTHING to do with the Swifties

Right on!

John O'Neill - his 35 year fight with John Kerry finally paid off - thousands and thousands and thousands of marginalized vets and their families rec'd vindication at LAST through his exposure of the poseur extraordinaire..
