53. Hello Freeper/Lurker: Time's "Man of the Year" is for the biggest NEWSMAKER

(edited for grammar)

Sorry, but your post is irrelevant to this particular topic. You're comparing anti-smoking efforts to the actions of the Nazis, then trying to compare any type of gun control (I assume that's the straw man you're taking on here) to Nazi-led gun confiscation. Then, you top it off by assuming that Time magazine (apparently the "liberal" media in your view, as I infer it) named Adolf Hitler as Man of the Year in 1938 (not 1939) because they admired his gun control and anti-smoking efforts.
That was your logic, wasn't it?

By the way, Joseph Stalin was Man of the Year for 1939. Neither Stalin nor Hitler were named because their actions were admirable.

I am always entertained when you Freepers and Lurkers attempt to link left-leaning policies with the actions of right-wing dictatorships. Instead of lecturing us on how bad it is to address public health issues or to enact reasonable gun controls (NOTE TO FREEPER: THIS DOES NOT MEAN TAKING YOUR FAVORITE LITTLE PET GUN AWAY!), or to limit smokers' rights, why not read a little more before trying to hijack threads with irrelevant and uninformed commentary.

Sorry DUers if that seemed harsh, but suspected Freeper commentary deserves a swift rebuttal.
