Well done, Gentlemen!
Jay suggests at the end that people on the right feel differently about Mao from those on the left, so that people on the right would feel it was inappropriate to quote approvingly anything Mao said.
I'm afraid I haven't watched the clip, but I've seen that TPM has a clip of John McCain quoting Mao.
Of course no one suspects McCain of approving of Mao in general, whereas those on the right may suspect Dunn really has a soft spot for Mao. The issue may not be merely whether one should quote Mao, but WHO can quote him and get away with it.

On the Fox issue, I can imagine that it may be good or may be bad for the administration to tangle with Fox, but that seems to have nothing to do with the issue of whether the administration is doing something unseemly by calling them out.
And I don't really see why it would be morally wrong or unseemly. I mean it might be unseemly for me to accuse a judge of taking bribes, but if he really is taking bribes and I have fairly good evidence that he isn't playing fair, then surely it isn't unseemly then.
Similarly, if Fox is pretending to be a fair judge while constantly making biased decisions against Obama, then why doesn't Obama have every right to call them out on this? Why should he play along with the "fair and balanced" pretense?
