Mao would have probly called the American news media "Capitalist running-dogs."

He'd be wrong. They're too fat & well-fed for that. More like corpulent corporate waddling-dogs.

2. Mao would have been a total dick as a DU mod.

First he'd group posters into arbitrary cadres, and then assign each cadre to a certain task, be it Kucinich-supporting or Cheney-bashing. Then he would promote cadre leaders to give reports on how efficiently they were fulfilling their discussion duties. And he'd hand out tombstones like beads at Mardi Gras.

3. He'd have called them worse than that.

He'd have called them liberals.

4. Maybe counterrevolutionaries?

And then would send them to re-education camps?

5. That sounds like the best idea on this thread.

Except, of course, for the technicality that the concept of "re-education" presumes that there was some semblance of education in the first place.

6. It assumes that laying in the lap of a criminal

is learned behavior!
