She ,ay as well have said ADOLF HITLER because this is who Mao represented in China. This is the latest controversial move by the Obama White House.

    While I don't agree with all of what Mao has written there is some insight and intellect in what he writes.  You can pick and choose what you like but I don't think you can collapse all of his domains without a look.

    A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    All reactionaries are paper tigers.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Despise the enemy strategically, but take him seriously tactically.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Enable every woman who can work to take her place on the labour front, under the principle of equal pay for equal work.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Genuine equality between the sexes can only be realized in the process of the socialist transformation of society as a whole.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    I voted for you during your last election.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    In general, any form of exercise, if pursued continuously, will help train us in perseverance. Long-distance running is particularly good training in perseverance.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    In time of difficulties, we must not lose sight of our achievements.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    In waking a tiger, use a long stick.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Investigation may be likened to the long months of pregnancy, and solving a problem to the day of birth. To investigate a problem is, indeed, to solve it.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Learn from the masses, and then teach them.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Let a hundred flowers bloom, let a hundred schools of thought contend.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Once all struggle is grasped, miracles are possible.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Passivity is fatal to us. Our goal is to make the enemy passive.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    People like me sound like a lot of big cannons.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Political work is the life-blood of all economic work.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Politics is war without bloodshed, while war is politics with bloodshed.
    Mao Tse-Tung

    Swollen in head, weak in legs, sharp in tongue but empty in belly.
    Mao Tse-Tung


    Just because he was a communist doesn't make all his observations invalid.

    It still doesn't change the fact that Mao killed more people than Hitler or Stalin.  Uh oh, I used the dreaded H-word in the forums.  Bauer was the fall guy because Obama made the promise that Guantanamo would be closed in a year and it looks like that isn't going to happen now.  Since Bauer wasn't part of the Chicago Mob, he got the ax.

    You know what ticks me off about this whole ordeal? It is the fact that this woman, no matter what or who she is, has worked hard to get where she has gotten too.  She is the same woman appointed by this White House Admin., who has had this belief for years now; but now it suppose to change how we (or them) feel about her?  This is America, damn it!  She's entitled to believe what she will.  She's entitle to admire who she wants.  She has made it this far off her work ethic.  That's the only thing that should be put into judgment here.  It is ridiculous to judge this woman, based off anything that has to do with this nonsense.   

    Another thing, my grandmother survived the holocaust.  She is forever branded, and we as family members are branded with her.  As her grandson, with close personal ties to Hitler's regime- NOTHING, I mean NOTHING compares to what that man was able to accomplish and achieve.  I get real sick and tired of people making remarks towards people, and placing them into direct correlation with Hitler.  It's overstated, overworked, and unappreciated.

    Hitler- is in a league all of his own.  Remember that will you please, when you start comparing Hitler to Mao or to anyone else. It is tiresome.  And eventually, when people have compared Hitler enough, his crimes against my family(7+ million people killed by his hate) will all but dimension.  Hitler is unlike anyone.  Remember that.

    Stalin and Ze-Dong both killed more people than Hitler.

    With all due respect for you and your family, Communists killed far more than the Fascists ever did.  Not for lack of trying.  Just about the entire world united to erase Fascism from the world, that's why there is still a remnant of European Jews left.

    The names of the people, ideologies, nations don't matter.  What matters is the mindset which allows these atrocities to not only happen in the first place, but which attempt to justify why they happened and how it was a supposedly good thing that it did.  The idea that the ends justify the means is one of the most evil ideas in the history of humanity.

    What purpose does this comparison make?  Seriously, I would like to know your thinking and why this was a truly necessary point to make?  What purpose, in the long run does it serve?  Just to prove my "death toll" facts wrong?  What?  I missed your point entirely.

    You claim Hitler is in a class all his own.  He is not.  If there is one thing that typified the 20th century, it was the mass slaughter of human beings for political or ideological reasons.

    It isn't about WHO has killed more people. 

    That is a level of pettiness, I cannot even try to comprehend.

    Seriously, you honestly think that's the point?  Really?

    Amazing.  The stupid, pettiness seems to have no bounds.  I don't get it. 

    Killing 1 person, is just as horrible as killing 100 billion people.

    If you note, and took the time to read the my post you would have noticed I listed the words, "accomplishment and achieved." 

    What Hitler was able.........never mind. 

    It's pointless ramble. 
    Unbelievable.

    Yeah he was.  He single handily, turned an entire nation of people against a sect of religious people.

    No leader, has EVER had the support of SO MANY Nationalize patrons or citizens, when killing that mass group of people.  NO ONE LEADER, ever.  There is so many different aspects of Hitler, than just killing of the Jews. 

    But you know, LEF you think Korea is the same as Vietnam- and you and I have been there before.  I'm not interested in arguing silly minded semantics with you. 


    There is more than Hitler, than his "death toll."

    I don't care who it was who killed, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc.  Nobody should quote then and consider any of them a political mentor for any reason whatsoever.  Their actions forever divorced them from the rest of humanity and should be forever derided as the beasts they proved themselves to be in life.

    There is no emotion involved.  You made it about the number of dead people.  I'm arguing that what Hitler was able to accomplish and achieve, with the overwhelming support of his people, is something we haven't seen since.  So if you would like to disagree on that merit of respect, I'm happy to do so.
