    1. Parody site or not, the Bee still has more credibility than today’s corrupt NYT.

      Of the two entities, at least the Bee openly admits that what they publish every day is mostly made-up bullshite.

    2. I didn’t look at the source, and I actually thought it was real until the very end, where they stated it was replaced by a banner of Stalin and I saw the Babylon Bee footer.

      Yes, I believe a clueless Ivy League mis-Educated NYT Editor would make the outlandish statement that a mass murderer (50-76 Million Dead) Mao Tse Tung was “morally right.” Those editors are that spiritually and morally bankrupt. Just read the asterisked story from Fox News about the actual NYT position.

  2. So why didn’t they have Hitler up there on April 30th, 2019 (22 million murdered)
    or Stalin on March 5th, 2019 (62 million murdered under communism)?

    Mao & the PRC are the over achievers in the murder game (76 million murdered)

    Geez, if you’re celebrating the wanton destruction of humanity, at least the NY Slimes should not be racist, and be an equal opportunity cheerleader for DEATH!

    1. Because they think a retro-active trade for Hitler occurred after he betrayed Stalin. The left is ignorant enough to think that that big government, anti-capitalist tree-hugger was on the right.

      but, but, but… diversity is toronto’s strength…

      At around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, police were called about a man
      running around with a machete in the area of Morrish Rd. and
      Ellesmere Rd. The accused, Sasikaran Thanapalasingam, 38,
      is the victim’s ex-husband. “

      sorry… no happy endings here.

  9. Well Time Magazine did name Hitler Man of Year in 1938. Then said, wait hold my beer, Stalin is Man of the Year for 1939 after signing a non-agression pact with Nazis and splitting Poland with Hitler. Just for good measure they made him Man of the Year again in 1942.

    Truth is always stranger than fiction.

  10. Mao Zedong didn’t run the PRC in any meaningful way, much less “uncontested,” after the “Great Leap Forward.” The Grey Lady couldn’t even get that straight.

    The Cultural Revolution wasn’t Mao’s idea. It was the brainchild of his wife Jiang Qing, a failed movie actress before being “discovered” by Mao, who used it as an excuse to indulge her own philistinism and to get revenge on people she blamed for holding back her career. While Mao spent his days feasting and dallying with nubile Red Guards, Jiang Qing was the one who ruled “uncontested” as the uncrowned empress of China till his death.

    The first act of the party leadership after the death of Mao was to overthrow and arrest Jiang and sentence her to death (commuted, for reasons best known to the Politburo, to life imprisonment).

    1. Wonderful! Ugggh … every … “obscure peasant” … on the streets of Portland, wearing black bandanas, throwing ready-mix concrete milkshakes … dreams of dying … “the most significant Revolutionary in human history”.

      No wonder the NYT adores ANTIFA

    2. That tweet was wrong on more than one count.
      Mao was not an “obscure peasant.” His father was a land owner, therefore he belonged to the hated “bourgeois” class, and would have been ostracized were he not the party secretary.
      Here is the full obituary of Mao published by the NYT. You can see the Old Grey Lady had listed port side for a long time. One of the accolades said he lived to fulfill his boyhood dream of restoring [China] to its traditional place as a great nation. So it’s not far fetched at all the NYT could have honored him with that poster.

      1. Wow … that’s a LOT of words about Mao. I wonder if the NYT gave “Mr. Nixon” (as referred to in the obituary) as many words upon his death? Nevermind, I doubt any of those words would have been too kind.

        “A revolution is not the same as inviting people to dinner or writing an essay or painting a picture or embroidering a flower; it cannot be anything so refined, so calm and gentle, or so ‘mild, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous’ [the virtues of Confucius as described by a disciple]. A revolution is an uprising, an act of violence whereby one class overthrows the authority of another. To put it bluntly, it was necessary to bring about a brief reign of terror in every rural area.”

        My close neighbor’s children’s book … about her life in China.

        Both of her physician parents were made to do menial, humble, tasks under Mao and stripped of all their wealth and possessions. They no longer practiced medicine.

        The Revolution brewing in this country … lurching us QUICKLY toward a Socialist nirvana (read: Hell on earth) … will not be a dinner party. I am particularly disturbed by the faux Indian candidate who is promoting a “wealth tax” … so she will come for ALL my retirement savings … built slowly and steadily from a lifetime of work, income taxes, and deferred gratification. So now … at retirement … she’s gonna snatch giant gobs of my carefully managed and accumulated savings. She is going to PUNISH my frugality. Punish every year of doing the right thing. Over my dead (or incarcerated) body.

        1. It isn’t just how many words. They are all accolades. I didn’t read most of it, but I am sure they skimmed over the disaster that was the Great Leap Forward.
          I feel very sorry for your neighbor who went through that terror. The thing is, just as our woke neighbors here in California, her parents probably supported the Communist revolution. And for a while it was working out for them. Right up to the Cultural Revolution, they probably thought everything was just going swimmingly. The country went through great turmoil, but they still had their home, and their practices. And they were on their way to Socialist Utopia. Until the mask was ripped off, and the true nature of the collectivist society showed its face. Had her parents been here now, and practicing as physicians, they would probably be active Democrats, working very hard to do all those things to you that you said.
          Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Every Collectivist revolution (by whatever name and under whatever slogan) winds up this way, starting with the French Revolution. Sooner rather than later, the true Collectivist will work to eliminate their intelligentsia camp followers.
          My father knew better. He flirted with Communism in his youth, as nearly all intelligentsia his age did. But he went through the progression of Communism, Socialism, Democracy, Constitutional Republic, individualist. He abandoned position and wealth in China, and brought his family out to Hong Kong, and thence to the U.S. My parents, too, were reduced to menial and humble labor, but that was their choice to give their children a future. But the Chicom did that to them as surely as they did to your neighbor’s parents. So here I am, thanks to my parents, and to the U.S. government under Eisenhower. And I’ll be damned if I am going to let the Collectivists do it to me again.

          1. Despite your parents intelligence and social status, they were willing to become humble, and step DOWN from their station in life … for the benefit of their children. This is either down to the inborn Chinese “long view” of the world, or a selfless act of love. I admire both. And you are to be admired for acknowledging your parents sacrifice … and I hope your own children salute their grandparents selflessness. And what a joy for their souls and memory that their sacrifice has come to such great fruition.

  16. NYT: “Mao Zedong died on this day in 1976. The Times said he ‘began as an obscure peasant’ and ‘died one of history’s great revolutionary figures,’

    Yes indeed, without him PRC would have been no different than Taiwan or Hong Kong.

  17. Communism has killed over 100 million in the 20th century. Just what the world needs, more communism/socialism. People are not very bright.
