Mao was responsible for even more deaths than the infamous villain Adolf Hitler, yet whenever a leftist embraces him, whether it be through a speech, or on an ornament on the White House Christmas tree, it is always dismissed immediately and the messenger is usually attacked. Yet if one were to replace Mao with Hitler in these specific instances, everyone would be in an uproar (rightfully so), so why the double standard? If Obama's tree had a Hitler ornament on it, it would be all over every media outlet in the world; but since it's Mao, not a peep. I just don't get it?

Here's the problem. I don't like Mao, one bit. However, I do like artwork. And that's what is on the christmas tree: Artwork. It doesn't put Mao on a pedestal, just the artwork.

People look far too much into these things.

Artwork of a brutal, ruthless despotic mass murderer. So, an ornament with Hitler would be okay with you? So, no standards whatsoever?

Big Government » Blog Archive » EXCLUSIVE: Transvestites, Mao And Obama Ornaments Decorate White House Christmas Tree

I can just see some toadie with a magnifying glass looking at every single ornament just looking for trouble ... geez, these people need to get lives.

The day Barack obama is filmed looking for WMD's in the oval office thinking he's making a funny, is the day ornamentgate gets a wink and a nod.

I guess Warhol gets no respect.

If it was artwork, then no, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

That's a blog. It's pictures of ornaments that could easily have been photoshopped to put the offensive images in. Who took the photos? When? Why are these pictures in one place only on the net, on this blog? Why aren't they anywhere else? Because other media outlets require confirmation that these ornaments are indeed on the White House Christmas tree?
