Finally TIME Magazine has written about the CFK! No, we're not on the cover - yet - Ann Coulter is, that reactionary neo-imperialist criminal! But we are featured in the Coulter-related slideshow.
The caption says, Protesters blast Coulter at the G.O.P. Convention in New York City last year. Huh? What, TIME never heard of CFK, the powerful pressure group that acts as a shadow Politburo behind the DNC? Once again you've proven to us, TIME, that MSM can't see the meaning of things behind their glossy appearance.
Speaking of the DailyCos, please note this angry comment half-way down the page: "I voted NO 25 times. The Yes response is over 51% now. Looks like it's being freeped." Hey, looks like life imitates the CFK! And these people actually complain about TIME ethics?
Some angry and/or mocking letters are being written to TIME even as I'm typing this. Guess who's angry and who's laughing! A sample letter written to TIME by a suspected Trotskyite on DailyCos:
ladies and gentlemen: i don't expect actual balance from time magazine anymore, but i do expect actual investigation, reporting and facts. i n your current cover article on ann coulter, you make the incredibly bone-headed gaff of offering up a picture of the obviously conservative satirical group "communists for kerry" with the caption "protesters blast coulter at the g.o.p. convention in new york city last year." are you really so ignorant, so infused with conservative propaganda, so devoid of humor, that you can read one of the signs in the picture that says "liberating iraqi children from tyranny is costing too much" and actually believe that any american would put together such a patently self-defeating phrase in a manner that was anything but tongue-in-cheek? and even if you could, don't journalistic ethics (you remember them, they used to be big back in the 60's) demand that you investigate the easily-read title of the group "communists for kerry.com," which, for anybody with access to lexus/nexus, would have revealed that the group is satirical in nature and conservative in politics, ie, on ann coulter's side? are you guys just lazy? or stupid? or both?
Let me finish with a reference to the uproar in the left hemi(blogo)sphere last October when FoxNews.com mentioned CFK in a similar manner, without checking out our website. Even am New York in its printed edition predicted the end of Fox News due to CFK-gate. TIME has made a much bigger blunder, proving that they actually can't see the true meaning of things behind their glossy appearance. In their world, or should I say on their home Red Planet, a girl named Rosa Luxemburg with a CFK poster is a real thing. This is how much our media elites know about life down on Earth.
In the words of E-Nough, Only the CFK fit the news as Time thought to report it.
UPDATE (04/18/05 6:30pm)
TIME changed the caption under the picture on the web page to this:
Idol
Pro-G.O.P protesters at the Republican Convention in New York City last year
Correction: The original caption incorrectly stated that these protesters were blasting Coulter
Today I bought the actual magazine (April 25 Issue) with Ann Coulter on the cover. Our picture is there on p. 34, but the editors cropped the CFK logo and most of the accompanying ProtestWarrior banners, like "Criminals For Gun Control" and others. So it's unclear now who is doing what and to whom in that scene.

Ha! Ha! Ha!
That's rich. Those idiots really can't see past the nose of their own beliefs. If there weren't an MSM we'd have to invent them just to have a few laughs. That is so funny - every aspect of it. And then that letter accusing Time of being infused with conservative propaganda! How can people be so out to lunch?
Or ... wait a second ... has Rosa turned? Where has Rosa been all this time? Why is she holding that sign? Maybe there's more to this than meets the eye. Is Rosa part of the reactionary kneejerk anti-Communists For Kerry pogram? Is this a cynical plot on her part to seize the Party and all the power? We must always be on guard !!!

I DENOUNCE THIS ITEM!
What? That's what it says. :p
Well, as I said over on The People's Cube, we're sure getting a kick out of that at Protest Warrior. I'd just like to offer a hearty congratulations to Communists for Kerry for taking in Time so thoroughly. *Chuckle*
By Rogue 9 04/18/05 - 12:40 pm
NUTS! They changed the caption! Ah well, at least they note their mistake.
By ml 04/18/05 - 12:49 pm
For the record, the photo is in the print version (I get an advance copy at work). It is, however, somewhat cropped, cutting out the Communists for Kerry at the top. And yes, the caption says
Protesters blast Coulter at the G.O.P Convention in New York City last year, above left.
The PW sign is mostly intact, however ...
Oops. But this is Time, so what do you expect ...
By Rogue 9 04/18/05 - 1:11 pm
YES! YES YES YES YES YES, GLORY HALLELUJAH!
Oops, forgot where I was... Erm... Glory to the Party!

Comrades of Truth and Enlightment Directorate,(American Division):
The Workers and Sailors of Red Banner Fleet salute you!
As in the days of our Glorious Comade Stalin, you have once again duped the Capitalist Oligarchical Propaganda Organ: "Time Magazine" into spreading our message of Marxist-Leninist Collectivism!
In honor of this, your signal achievement over the Despicable Fascist Mouthpiece, I have ordered an extra two hours of barnacle-scraping to be performed by the Workers and Sailors and dedicated to you.
It is a Triumph of our Struggle for Bolshevik Hegemony that many of the barnacles we scrape will have more intelligence than "Time" magazine photo editors.
Yours in Collectivism;
Bilgemanski, I.I.
Admiral

I am one of the many downtrodden masses still saddled with yester-techskie dial-up modem (cold war surplus) and I noticed the original caption still appears while the picture loads with tortoise-in-November-like speed.
One can also see the original caption by right-clicking on the picture and calling up "Properties" ... at least with Soviet-designed FireFox browser named after miraculous Russian Mach 5 stealth fighter stolen by the West's bourgeois warrior Clint Eastwood before the cold war was kaputskie.
The Revolution is doomed with incompetent boobskies like Time on our side.

GO CFK!
pardon my gender-revealing exclaimation, but continued monitoring of the dailykos comments further demonstrates that the menchevics are crumbling away, fraught with apoplexia.
one remarks...
"Time and the rest of the media seem to lack the critical thinking skills to recognize obvious satire, and instead present the photograph as evidence of crazy lefties foaming at the mouth over Coulter."
how pleasing it is that this is uttered without even a hint of awareness of the fact that the anti-rnc demonstration at which the photograph was taken, was arranged by the ufpj, an organ of our comrades from the workers' world party, who distinguished themselves from the false conciousness that plagued the socialist workers party in the late 50's by standing fast with joseph "uncle joe" stalin. ufpj operatives led the assembled usefull idiots and menchevics to the doorstep of the american imperialist propaganda organ, fox news channel, to chant in disgust at the likes of coulter.
they know not who leads them, and this is the essential condition for the latter stages of a centrally planned society, for it is this sort of inversion -- the person imagining themselves to be liberal or antistatist marching under the aegis of the exact polar opposite of these qualities, that is the final true coinciousness of the new socialist man.
they are so innocent as to the depth to which they have been comprimised, that the headline at buzzflash contends that the only "stalinists" at the convention were "on rove's payroll"! while the menchevics at kos are usefull, buzzflash will be punnished for this insult, for there were, aside from CFK, true stalinists at the root of the demonstrations. his association of rove with stalin is clearly meant to be a reverse backhanded comparison of we on the vanguarde with "trotskyites". i can think of no other explaination as to why buzzflash would be unable to keep his party-line talking-points straight.
finally, a hoot is to be found in the kos thread, when an inmate speculates as to whether the photo was faked or not....
Photoshop? (none / 0)
The guy in the right corner looks like he's been pasted in.

Fox news and Time got it wrong, eh?
Goes to show that given Fox shares your political affliation via its slant in reporting, you people can't keep up with your rhetoric.
I've said it once I'll say it again, stop calling yourselves conservatives and say what you really are...inconsistents. The inconsistent party that's more appropriate to your, talking out both sides of your neck, ways.

Dear Miss Malevolent,

No one here is a "conservative." What we have to say has always been radical. We are the radicals. You need to check your premises.
