re: #284 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.

For some reason in our culture, Mao has a cloaking device that shields him from the consciences of otherwise good people. I blame the 60s Left, myself—otherwise the man who was responsible for the deaths of more than 35,000 Americans would have more opprobrium attached to his memory.
