Ferguson Protesters Take the Lead in TIME’s Person of the Year Poll
TIME ^ | NOVEMBER 29, 2014 | Sam Frizell

The protests over the grand jury decision this week have captivated international attention.

Ferguson protestors have gained the lead in TIME’s Person of the Year poll, with seven days to go in the voting.

Unrest in Ferguson and around the country focused attention on race and policing, helping to lift Ferguson protestors into first place in the TIME reader poll with 10.7% of the vote. Thousands of demonstrators marched in solidarity with the family of Michael Brown, an unarmed black man who was shot by the police, disrupting Black Friday shopping in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Seattle and other cities.

In the second half of 2010, Time magazine newsstand sales declined by about 12% to just over 79,000 copies per week.

I would imagine there are blogs on knitting or macramé with higher membership numbers!

I’d almost want to vote for the Ferguson thugs, just to keep showing Time for the worthless Leftist rag that it is.

In a very real way, this Ferguson Protestor award for Person of the Year will just be a repeat of 2011’s anointment of Occupy Wall Street. Same actors, same politics, same tin ear for objective facts.

I got that. I would still go with Derek Jeter. He brought class to a sport that suffered tremendously by A Rod and the other cheaters.

And most of those are purchased by people over the age of 75 who still use a rotary phone at home and can't comprehend what all this "innernet fuss" is all about.

“My question is, what about Utah that has a predominate white population?”

The plan of the owebama Housing and Urban Development cabal is to build section 8 housing in all of the white areas of the USA - especially the intermountain west - and import thugs to live in them so that we can all experience the joys of diversity. THEN we’ll need more minority cops.

Yes, and the remainder of subscribers are physicians offices that continue to fund these rags by stocking their waiting rooms with crap to read.

I’m old enough to remember when being named man of the year and then person of the year by Time was a big deal.

That was about thirty years ago.

How come we, the public, have never seen polling data since “would be cop killer, MIchael Brown got what he rightfully deserved”. Strange the media would not be telling us that the entire country is behind “Obama’s” Gentle Giant thug!!! Why? Because the entire country is supporting the officer that rightfully administered the law to this Obamabot bully, thug and would be cop killer!!! End of story!!!

Ferguson protestors have gained the lead in TIME’s Person of the Year poll

In the interest of full disclosure, TIME needs to have a disclaimer printed on its cover, that it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kremlin.
