NEW YORK Russian President Vladimir Putin was named the Time magazine "Person of the Year."
Richard Stengel, Time's managing editor, said the 2007 honor went to the Russian leader "for an extraordinary feat of leadership in taking a country that was in chaos and bringing it stability."
Others in the running for the honor included Nobel Prize-winner Al Gore and author J.K. Rowling

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

In that case, Robert Mugabe was more their man. They really missed an opportunity.

I understand that the Person of the Year does not have to be for an honorable reason, and if they had named him because of the repression of his opposition I would understand it but their reason is stated "for an extraordinary feat of leadership in taking a country that was in chaos and bringing it stability."
Not hard to do when you silence the press, limit the political opponents from getting media coverage, etc.

Is this a joke?That's what I thought too.
"for an extraordinary feat of leadership in taking a country that was in chaos and bringing it stability."

Well, they named Hitler “Man of the Year”, why not another blood-thirsty dictatorial socialist? The Editors probably identify with him.

Time loves a good commie. Precisely. Let's review the list of Commies that got Time's highest award:
- Iosef Stalin (twice)
- Nikita Khrushchev
- Deng Xiaoping (twice)
- Mikhail Gorbachev (twice)
Then you have Communist-enablers FDR (thrice; the only person to win 3 times) and Bill Clinton (twice).

Disgusting.
Instead of having General David Patraeus the man who crushed Al Qaeda in Iraq, or having President Bush whose leadership made us win the war, the hateful magots at time magzine picked up the Russian dictator for man of the year.

Wishful thinking; TIME is warning the world to watch Putin closely. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. This KGB hand operates in the darkness and finds himself under worldwide media scrutiny. Putin’s 2007 is not so important as his 2008. He needs to be watched and for this warning; thank TIME.

One socialist loving organization recognizing one of their commie leaders. No surprises. The MSM kisses the lard asses of their leadership. No surprise.

Maybe the editors at Time were afraid they’d end up like the reporters who are critical of Putin (i.e. dead).

My father saved a copy as a reminder of how the press can make mistakes, or worse. I never forgot that lesson.
Maybe I will do the same and buy a copy as a life lesson for my children. Good idea your father had.

And the editors at Time want to know why their rag is slowly sliding toward oblivion? This selection just goes to prove they don’t even have a clue.
