Voting For Julian Assange as Man of the Year?

Anonymous group sent out a campaign poster encouraging supporters to vote up Julian Assange as Time Magazines,  'Man of the year'.  Votes have continued to increase as Julian Assange remains on top.  For those who are serious about stopping human rights abuses, it appears a superficial act of inflating ego.

From a strategic perspective, this is one of the best things you can do.  Think about it.  If Julian Assange made it as TIME magazines man of the year, would governments be so quick to state that he is a terrorist in the public eye?
Would they be so quick to ship him off to United States Supreme court to charge him over the espionage act?  They need support for that and they are losing so much already.  It would be a little embarrassing

The Swedish court might actually have to give this guy a fair trial.  Intelligence agencies might actually have to think.  They can't use this as an opportunity for a disappearance.  They could lose support or even the unthinkable...funding.

You can vote for Julian Assange here.
