W.H. Comm. director Anita Dunn names Mao as one of her two favorite philosophers. Should she be fired? (Hugo Chavez, legal)

Vetting is soooo last century.

putting it out there in a high profile position that you are a Mao admirerer is political idiocy.
feminism is no longer kevlar for the female politician.

I certainly don't want anyone who does anywhere near the seat of our govt's power

Interesting that there is an active poll tonight, right here on CD questioning whether Hilter "was brilliant."

Some interesting commentary and 41% have voted that yes, he was .

There's a difference in acknowledging that someone is brilliant and naming someone as their favorite philosopher in the world. For the record, I haven't even opened the Hitler thread, just sayin'.

I hope that none of the 41% are part of the President's inner circle, don't you?

Of all of the leaders and philosphers that ever lived, she picks Mao????

What a moron.

Why don't we make David Duke the Czar of Inner City Affairs.

really? and you are deriding liberal's as idiots. lol

most people who think hitler is brilliant is going to agree with most if not all of his philosphies. many will rationalize that he was a good strategist or condone his actions because he cared for the germans etc and any number of angles but most will be racist too but they skirt that issue by defending him in other ways. get a clue.

you could make (psuedo) excuses for mao. that woman was just (stupidly) honest considering she's in office.

Can an environmentalist work for an oil company? Can a person who has children in a public school work for a private school? Answers to all is yes.

We don't need thought police.

Please provide evidence that "Person D" applies to this woman. Links to documentation would be fine.

The real question is why, along with the other radical wackos and tax cheats offered jobs by the White House, was she hired by the President? He said during the campaign that you will know him by the company he keeps. Do we know him yet?

Did you notice who she was addressing in discussing her Chinese Massacring idol?

I remembe when the left went balistic when republicans gave speaches at Bob Jones University , a religous institition, saying that if you speak there, you MUST endorse thier philosophies. Guilt by association.

Another example of the lefts hypocracy.
