re: #10 lawhawk

So, just because Andy Warhol decided to make pop art out of the leader of one of the most heinous regimes in history (whose body count is probably above 70 million), and some community group thinks it okay to use the Warhol pop-art as a Christmas ornament, it’s okay?

I think it speaks to Warhol’s warped sensibilities to turn Mao into “art”, followed by the idiocy of the community group that thought including Mao on their ornament was a good idea (even if it was Warhol’s print).

What about being the first president to fly on AF1 to meet with Mao who killed 70 million people. That is, Nixon. Should that have been avoided? Shaking the hand of Mao as opposed to, an ornament with a postage stamp sized iconic art piece?
