There was certainly no indignation from the left back then..

But I do have to wonder... what makes Mao a target of only "Christian
Right Wingnuts" in your mind? Any thinking, compassionate, free
person should have an issue with him, no?

Mao isn't the target.... the target is the preposterous story reported
as fact..... and believed without question by so many.....

...the other target is why it was OK for the Bush Christmas trees to
be Non-Religious..... not a whimper from either Christians, Right
Wingers, or even Right Wing Christians.... BUT.....

In 2009, the Christmas tree is allowed to have religious ornaments
(isn't that a good thing?) and what do we get? No notice of that, but
some preposterous story about Mao, Transvestites, and Mt. Rushmore....

Common sense is dead....


Gene, you need to read Hedda Lettuce's blog before you discredit the
story.

Besides, why the uproar? Isn't this expected?


I did....

"It was there in the silence that it hit me; yes one of my balls is
hanging in the White House. When I looked at the photo of the ball, it
was not my signature green color...."

Oh Gene, I expected much better of you. For some reason, you clipped
the rest of Hedda's post. Here, I'll put it up for you:

"Not only was my ball hanging in the White House, my blue ball is
hanging in the White House.

I may never get equal rights, I may never be blond and pencil thin, I
may never see Lady Gaga in concert this winter at Madison Square
Garden (I could not get a ticket) but one of my balls is hanging in
the White House with my name for all to see. Just for today that feels
a bit better than me having the right to marry.

Stay fresh,

Gosh, I'd expect that from Harry, but not from you.
