Time Magazine Exploits Iwo Jima Photo for Global Warming Alarmism and Angers Iwo Jima Vets

For only the second time in 85 years, Time magazine abandoned the traditional red border it uses on its cover. The occasion – to push more global warming alarmism.

The cover of the April 21 issue of Time took the famous Iwo Jima photograph by Joe Rosenthal of the Marines raising the American flag and replaced the flag with a tree. The cover story by Bryan Walsh calls green “the new red, white and blue.”

Donald Mates, an Iwo Jima veteran, told the Business & Media Institute April 17 that using that photograph for that cause was a “disgrace.”

“It’s an absolute disgrace,” Mates said. “Whoever did it is going to hell. That’s a mortal sin. God forbid he runs into a Marine that was an Iwo Jima survivor.”

So, how would you say it in Russian?

“Green is the new Red”

Time is not even worthy of being used as TP.

Time has been a waste of trees — for decades.
They will soon go the way of the buggy whip into obscurity.

I give them a few more years and they will be out of business.

Good news today about the New York Times showing a huge loss, hopefully Time will go the same way.

Negative, Gunny. Murdering pre-born babies and trashing the Constitution (well, the Pubbies do that part, too)... so I guess murdering pre-born babies is what they do best. That and trashing the Marine Corps, a la code pink.

God, how far will the left-wing media stoop for this global warming nonsense?

IMHO, we ain't seem nothing yet. With this Junk Science scam the left can smell the finish line on their goal of destroying free enterprise.

There is nothing they will not do to try and reach that goal.

I wonder how much Algordo paid Time to do this?

The same as Bill Clinton paid Monica. Time and the rest of the MSM are on their knees for leftist political hacks like Gore.

A HuffPoer`s take on Iwo Jima vets;

“May they die off quickly and with little pain and take their hatred, PTSD, their warped nixonian politics as well as contrived and real memories with them.”
