Shocker: Obama’s Communications Director Is A Maoist
Say Anything —
But don’t take my word for it. Per Anita Dunn herself (who has a specular habit of licking her lips while she’s talking that drove me nuts when Beck played this clip like 30 times this afternoon), two of her favorite “political philosophers” are Mother Theresa and Mao:
According to ABC’s Jake Tapper, Dunn is claiming this was a “joke.” But watch the clip. The weaves Mao’s “you fight your war I’ll fight mine” quote into a larger message for students to take their own path.
That, uh, doesn’t ...

Charles Johnson ♥s Chairman Mao
Snapped Shot —
Well, given that he refuses to believe a single word that Glenn Beck utters, that's the most logical conclusion we can draw from this video, anyway.
But hey, with all of these White House advisors openly honoring brutal Communist murderers, there can only be one logical explanation for we right-wingers' discontent:
Raaaaacism!
(Thanks to Ace the Flaming Skull Flinging Racist for the YouTube pointer, by the way. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this on Beck via the mystical right-wing power of XM earlier today.)

Don’t bother pounding the table about firing her, though: She’s already on her way out, which is precisely why the White House’s gutless brain trust tasked her with being the attack dog against Fox. Long a shunner of the spotlight, Dunn, who declined to comment for this article, would only sign on in April as an “interim” chief, with an end-of-the-year expiration date on her ...

I also noted that Dunn is married to Obama thug lawyer Robert Bauer, who tried valiantly to get the DOJ to prosecute conservative critics and punish TV stations for running an ad critical of Obama’s relationship with Weather Underground Bill Ayers. Add to the mix this fun fact from Glenn Beck…Dunn is a Mao enthusiast. The White ...

BREAKING: Anita Dunn admirer of Lee Atwater!
RedState —
Supposedly enough of one to steal his schtick, according to Jake Tapper (who is merely passing along what he has been told, mind you). So why is the interim White House Communications Director suggesting that she’s ripping off a man who is one of the most legendary devil figures in liberal mythology? The man who the Left has built its two favorite stories - the ‘Southern Strategy’ and Willie Horton - around? The man who was so hated that Larry Beinhart wrote a best-selling novel that had him reach beyond the grave to start the first Gulf War?
Because it’s still better than Anita Dunn admitting that Mao ...

According to Michelle Malkin, Dunn says she was joking (courtesy of Lee Atwater). A great sense of humor: as one can see from the video, that's one more thing Dunn has in common with Krupskaya. ...

...... True, much of Mao's brutality has already emerged over the years, but this biography supplies substantial new information and presents it all in a stylish way that will put it on bedside tables around the world. No wonder the Chinese government has banned not only this book but issues of magazines with reviews of it, for Mao emerges from these pages as another Hitler or Stalin. In that regard, I have reservations about the book's judgments, for my own sense is that Mao, however monstrous, also brought useful changes to China. And at times the authors seem so eager to destroy him that I wonder ...

Obama Communications Director: Mao Quote Was Meant To Be Ironic

WASHINGTON (CNN) – White House communications director Anita Dunn fired back at criticism from TV commentator Glenn Beck on Friday, saying that a Mao Tse-tung quote Beck took issue with was picked up from legendary GOP strategist Lee Atwater.
“The Mao quote is one I picked up from the late Republican strategist Lee Atwater from something I read in the late 1980s, so I hope I don’t get my progressive friends mad at me,” Dunn told CNN.
As for Beck’s criticism: “The use of the phrase ‘favorite political ...

Fausta's Blog —
While I don’t watch Glenn Beck, it is monstrous to hear a person associated with the White House say that Mao Zedong is “one of her favorite political philosophers.” If you read The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression you would understand that regarding Mao as a “political philosopher” is reaching a depth of depravity beyond understanding: some 65 million people died during Mao’s regime.

White House Communications Director and Mao
The Buck Stops Here —
By now, many people have heard about the White House Communications Director who gave a speech including praise of Mao as one of her favorite political philosophers. The odd thing is that what seems to have impressed her as a deep political thought was this saying of Mao's: "you fight your war, and I'll fight mine." She emphasizes it: "And think about that for a second. You don't have to accept the definition of how to do things, and you don't have to follow other people's choices and paths. OK? It is about your choices and your paths." That's it? That's her idea of profound political advice? Something ...

The Obama Administration’s misguided attempt to freeze out Fox News only gives Rupert Murdoch free publicity and conservatives a rallying cry, as Hotair says. But worse though, as Ace of Spades points out, it really puts Obama & Company into the “Putin-Chavez zone” of hammering out dissent they don’t like, and encouraging this notion that they do in fact control the media, which obviously they believe as stated by White House Communications Director Anita Dunn:
“Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn’t absolutely control,” Dunn said, admitting that the strategy ...
