McDonnell was not supporting Mao; he was taunting the Tories for their collaboration with the Chinese government, supposedly the heirs of Mao.

It was insensitive, just like the overuse of Nazi comparisons (which nevertheless do not mean that the speaker supports Nazis). But what about YOUR behaviour in this matter? - with your constant accusations of our supporting Mao, etc.?
