Rollings Stone Set To Put Tsarnaev On The Cover

Recommended Posts

This article shows the entire cover rather than the cropped one shown in the OP's article. It also explains a few things.

Like most things, it's better not to judge a book (or in this case a magazine) by its cover.

Did you read the caption of the photo on the cover? I was unaware showing how a person becomes a terrorist and calling somebody a monster mean he's a "darling."

The man is in vogue with the bombers of the sixties when he is merely described as, "the bomber"; not "terrorist". Just look at his "prison" beauty shop hairdo. This guy is waiting for an invitation from the White House. He's no terrorist. He's just another Bill Ayers. Of course all this fuss could be for nothing when enough subscribers cancel their subscriptions.

How did he become a darling of the left? By what rationale did you come to that conclusion? My feeling is the left pretty much disapproves of his actions as much as the right.
This partisanship/polemics does nothing except divide people. Left..right...we are all people trying to survive on this rock. I fail to see how blaming righties or lefties solves any damned thing.
Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Yeah, it makes you want to cry. He never knew right from wrong.

lol I am. But polemics and partisanship is nothing new. It is just a source of continuing frustration for me.

The "man" deserves no public recognition on the cover of any magazine.

That is fair. I agree. Terrorists should never be given credit. I fail to see how this is a 'left' thing, though. To me, it is just a bad call by a magazine.

>How did he become a darling of the left?

He's not. The original poster posted that as a troll. He hoped to anger people in order to elicit angry responses. Such tactics are common here.

You'll see such tactics often here, including the "I know you are but what am I?" response, the "you did it first" argument, the ad hominem attack etc. Thus take such posts with a grain of salt; the goal of such posts is often acrimony rather than any attempt at actual discussion.

Just look at his "prison" beauty shop hairdo.



Actually, that photo is from before the bombing and one he posted online himself. It's been widely circulated.

How is this different than the OJ cover or any one of a bajillion other covers of people like Hitler, Kadaffi, Bin Laden, the Unibomber, on the covers of Time or Newsweek?

Ahh yes. Looking at the OPs list of posts, I can see he actually has nothing to contribute to any meaningful dialogue. Just a series of troll posts. Very good. I can ignore him. Trolls, like terrorists, should not get recognition or credit.

"So soon"?

That suggests there is an "appropriate" time. There isn't.

If you remove the idea of an appropriate time to "throw this terrorist into the faces of his victims or their families," then yesterday, today or tomorrow are all equally "good" times.

In other words, it doesn't matter.

The ONLY thing that matters is the story is as correct as it can be. Not "politically correct," simply correct.

The progressives here at the Dork Zone may not think anything is wrong with this Rolling Stone magazine cover,



Seriously? You really need to throw down a cheap troll like that? What, have you totally shot your wad of intelligent discourse?

So?

Does that make it a bad thing?

That's right! They only described him as a monster, not a terrorist. And we all know that monster is secret lib code for really cool guy.

If you're not a progressive, doesn't that make you a regressive?

Troll? Almost everyone who frequents the Dork Zone's SC is guilty of troll behavior (at times myself included, I'm not innocent). Just look at those who have followed since your post (Jakee and GeorgiaDon) who are trying to bait me into their traps. But of all people to throw out the troll label? Your whole professional existence is to be argumentative regardless of whether or not you represent the truth and to attack whoever opposes you. Yet you have the nerve to use the troll label? How could I forget just the other day you accused me of conspiring to make death threats against your children. Where that came from who knows, it was so far over the top I don't know where to begin. Progressives love to play the victim whenever it suits them. But you are no victim. You are a highly manipulative predatory person. Pot meet kettle.

The arrogance of the progressive mind never ceases to amaze me.


Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
