White House Communications Director: Mao's My Rave Fave
2009-10-16
Glenn Beck unveils a top key employee, Obama's White House Communications Director Anita Dunn telling students she loves Mao.

W.A.S.S.

The Alinsky plan: identify the target, freeze the target, destroy the target. At least Mr. Beck is applying this to deserving targets, not Joe the Plumber.

#32  Is there any Obama buddy/associate/grunt in the White House who isn't a little bit to the left of Chavez?

#31  Unfortunately there are far too many of these latent communists/Marxists who have come out of the closet with this administration.

Actually, it is most fortunate, indeed, that they have swarmed out of the holes they have been hiding in.

I say this because there are people paying attention and making note of these...people...as they reveal themselves. Most convenient for when the trials begin. Or, maybe there won't be any trials.

#29  The organizer's assistant should have made sure there was a glass of water for the speaker.

#28  Yeah, BP, it's pretty damn nuts. But I never saw any of the other "candidates" doing that whole gecko-tongue thing over and over like that.

#27  That's a whole new level of crazy CB, I thought the chem-trails people were nuts but this...

#25  A fitting member of Obama's Politburo.

#24   It looks like a church because it's a graduation speech from Saint Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, MD; high school tuition $31,000 per annum.

Y'know, Mao got a lot of traction with the peasant mass of Chinese society by sending the kinds of people who would send their kids to a school like that out into the countryside to shovel night soil instead.

Just an observation, not an endorsement.

#23  I wonder if she fantasizes about being on the Long March and eagerly rendering any service the Chairman required.

#21  from over at Michellemalkin.com ...

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 ObamaÂ’s relationship with Weather Underground Bill Ayers.

#19  Despite some over=the=top theatricality on Glenn's part he really is doing great work in calling out these people in the White House. This woman needs to be shamed out of the WH as soon as possible, and we need to keep hammering home to the public what Zero is doing to the country with both his policies and choices of senior leaders/advisors. This gets more and more troubling by the day. At first I was amused at the obvious leftward tilt of the new administration, but not it feels sinister and dangerous.

#18  This woman has very quirky mannerisms. Lot of tongue activity. Probably would drive a body language analyst nuts.

So she reveres the greatest mass murderer of modern times? What a dipwad. Unfortunately there are far too many of these latent communists/Marxists who have come out of the closet with this administration.

#16  As a rough proportion, about 98% of American progressives would be dead in a society organized along the lines of Mao's Little Red Book.

That's a point most American progressives never consider.

#15  Ms. Dunn is speaking in a church, I think. How very queer.

#12  Here ya go GG6796, one of my favorites:

Bad seed is a robbery of the worst kind: for your pocket-book not only suffers by it, but your preparations are lost and a season passes away unimproved.
-George Washington


Didn't Mao also say something to the effect that women needed to spend more time cleaning his genitals?

#11  I think Dunn and Biden should go on a speaking tour together. Now that would be a hoot!
Posted by: eltoroverde   2009-10-16 10:28  

#10  What bothers me here is she is a fan of Mao not due to his leadership or greatness at anything other than being on a T shirt. She probably wears a Che shirt. People in the white house should be driving at great examples, not some t shirt logo. F*&K!

#8  Here you go George -

People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong's regime (1949-1975): 40000000

Analysis: If we line up the 14 sources which claim to be complete, the median falls in the 45.75 to 52.5 million range, so you probably can't go wrong picking a final number from this neighborhood.

#7  I'm looking forward to see the replacements. Given the amount of scrutiny they can expect from Mr. Beck, et al, one would hope the administration would be clever enough to choose more mainstream candidates.

#4  Was all set with a comment citing number of deaths attributed to through failed policies,
whats wrong with revering Washington,Lincoln, et al., etc.. and was overcome by a feeling of sadness for my country. I truly HATE these people.

#3  How about Anita tell us the 30% of what Mao got wrong? I bet she can't bring herself to criticize the Leader.

#2  Like father, like Communications Director.

#1  An additional note:

Not even average mainland Chinese believe Mao is some great "political philosopher."

Ms. Dunn has to know by now many, many, mainland Chinese are laughing their asses off at Dunn's stupidity
