Is this walking billboard for communists someone I should know? If so, I am glad he keeps his clothes on most of the time.

Better read up on how they are going to spin this one, because you know the liberals who cant think for themself will be repeating these excuses over and over again..
The woman said they were two of her favorite political philosophers and that indicates to me that she does think quite a bit about old Mao. I guess my twist is not the same as that of Media Matters but then I am not the son of Soros.

Is your twist the same as Newt Gingrich's?

'"War is politics with blood; politics is war without blood,' Gingrich said, citing Mao."

Now, here's an intellectual honesty challenge to the leftists on this board; if a WH spokesperson during Bush's presidency listed MLK and Hitler as his/her two favorite philosophers, how would you and the media react? Answer as honestly as you're conscience will allow.
I'll just stick with GWB.

"Karl Rove, another Fox News contributor, wrote in a December 2008 Wall Street Journal op-ed that President Bush "encouraged me to read a Mao biography."
Dunn, taped in a speech in what appears to be a church, said the leader's philosophies were a guidepost for her own strategy on politics. She also praised the philosophy used by religious icon Mother Teresa.

"The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Tse-tung and Mother Theresa -- not often coupled with each other, but the two people I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point which is 'you're going to make choices; you're going to challenge; you're going to say why not; you're going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before."

The comments set Beck into a tirade.

"It's insanity. This is her hero's work," he said. "She thinks of this man's work all the time?

"It would be like me saying to you, 'you know who my favorite political philosopher is? Adolf Hitler.' Have you read Mein Kampf? [She wants to] fight your fight like Hitler did," Beck said.
These quotes are all from http://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/10/16/becks.dunn/; apols if someone already posted the link.

Anyway, keepen sie up der gut werk

It is Person A that does not belong in that group.

So, when you embrace Glenn Beck, it's because you agree with everything he says, everything he's ever said, everything he's ever done, everything he will do. I mean, if he's one of your favorite television commentators, then you must think quite a bit about old Glenn, and you couldn't possibly disagree with anything he says or does, right?

Well now Woody, let me say that I have decided that you may will be right. However, I won't change my yes vote.

To you liberals, that's a bad thing.
