Mao Was a Good Chap

If Chavez doesn't stick in your throat, maybe Mao will. What does our Mayor have to say?

"One thing that Chairman Mao did was to end the appalling foot binding of women," he announced. "That alone justifies the Mao Tse-tung era."
I'm all for women's rights but half of Mao's tens of millions of victims were also women. This is like sticking up for Hitler on the strength of Autoban construction, or Mussolini and railway efficiency. (Also the fact that foot binding was stopped in 1911, should be reasonably relevant to the argument)

Funny that Ken has never stood up for the rights of women when talking about the Middle East.

Hat Tip The Daily Ablution.

AnyTHING but Ken.

I'd elect a carrot instead of that Kancer.

No he'll leave that to fellow traveller Galloway.
