      What did the Tea Partiers do to deserve People of the Year? Nothing.

      What did Murdoch or Ailes do to deserve Men of the Year? Nothing.

      What a joke.

        They sat around stewing in their juices waiting for Fox News and FreedomWorks to come along and organize them, bus them, and coordinate the protests across the country.

        Yeah, spontaneous....

        Acted like a bunch of spoiled brats, spread lies, showed the world their inner racist, and went out of their way to deny others the right to free speech. If Adolf Hitler can get person of the year, I'd say a group that acts just like him may have a chance...

        I have been to five tea parties and plan to continue my support and involvement. Whether or not the Tea Party movement deserves Time’s Person of the Year award, the group is a force whose numbers are growing. From what I myself have witnessed with my own two eyes (have any of you?) is that the tea partiers are normal, concerned Americans who believe in capitalism, free speech, time-honored values. The TP activists I have encountered truly CARE about their country. Are there any odd characters? Probably so. I have seen quite a few middle-aged and senior citizens, and there are young people in the mix. Listen up! The tea parties have been peaceful - every last one I have been to or heard about; and the only arrest I heard of was when an SEIU member showed up and assaulted a tea partier! Now, compare that with the VERY violent liberal activists showing up with bricks and fists in Copenhagen. Yet not ONE sign of Nancy Pelosi shedding any frightful tears over the unruly Copenhagen protesters. No, the message being bandied about by the current administration and many on the Left is to fear the Tea Party movement - those peaceful American citizens who gather and hold up signs. Run, Forest, Run.

          Has the Tea Bagger movement grown beyond it's astroturfed beginning? Sure. But the fact remains it was organized by lobbyists for the insurance companies for the purpose of maintaining their cash flow over the bodies of 45,000 Americans a year. Actual, real live Americans. Americans who loved their country, paid their taxes, walked their dog, raised their kids, and, for whatever reason, couldn't get health care. So they died.

          Protests in Copenhagen don't enter into it. At all. Protests in Europe tend to get a little more boisterous than those in the U.S. As a parallel example, compare European soccer matches with American football. Both crowds consume alcohol during the games, but fights, bloody noses, and police intervention are far more likely at the soccer games. Not because soccer is a more violent sport, or has more fervent fans, either.

          I went to beck's in san antonio and I saw a bunch of vocal racists who make up a minority of the country try and claim they are larger than they really are. Instead of talking about capitalism and free speech they demanded nationalism and wanted to stifle free speech of anyone who refused to agree with them. Not one of them cared about anything but their personal beliefs, not one of them were tolerant of others beliefs or religion. Just a bunch of fascist racist fundies bandying around waving racist, socialist signs calling themselves a movement...

            Yes, and who suddenly took to the streets as soon as a Democrat got into the Whitehouse. I'm so impressed.

            -Just a bunch of fascist racist fundies-

            Really. Slinging the tired worn-out lies is rather...sigh...old. According to Websters Dictionary, the word racist is defined as a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others. Which has nothing whatsoever to do with the TP movement! Propagandists claiming racism at every turn is like the little boy who cried wolf! When you really DO find a racist, no one is going to pay any attention.

              You don't pay attention now, because you don't have any particular problem with racism, unless it's something like your pants-crapping terror of the President "hating white culture". Go back to teabagging, troll. And if you're going to claim you're okay with political dissent, don't pick a username that reminds us of how you right-wing nuts treat dissenters on the left.

      If FOX was fair and balanced conservatives wouldn't go near it. Conservatives want PROPAGANDAwhich support their right wing ideology...not objective reporting.

      The thing I don't get about people claiming that the Tea Party folks should win "Person of the Year" is that, what are they really doing?

      As far as I have seen, I have seen a bunch of [white] people who are feigning oppression take to the streets with [a reasonable amount] of offensive signing.

      They have just as much right to take to the streets as anti-war protesters or anyone else BUT and a big but here, they're being observed, at least by a certain amount of people as bigots, racists, alarmists and being all in a ruffle over nothing.

      I find the majority of the Tea Party's movement, aside from hijacking the credibility of a historic event and cheapening it's place in all of our collective American heritage, nothing more than a xenophobic nationalistic group of sore losers. I guess that defines greatness in Moore's twisted world view.

      I just think the fact that there are people being drawn into the debate of who "deserves" the recognition from Time is laughable. Please take time to find out Person of the Year is about before entertaining this from Fox. It is decided by Time and no tea-baggers have any control unless they wan to have a say in what private companies do.
