YouTube - Glenn Beck : Anita Dunn Favorite philosopher Mao Tse-Tung 10.15.09

This woman has a horribly annoying facial gesture - her tongue is like a lizards.

She wasn't joking. She, like Max Bacus are like lizards/snakes. Baucus is always sucking air like Hannible Lechter. Creepy. If I believed in demons I would say the white house is full of them. hussein obama and the rest on the left love these mass murdering monsters.

Mao, just the mention of his name makes me cringe. Maybe he killed all those people because of the repressed anger toward his father who used to slap the hell out of him as a youth.

Is Newt Gingrich a commie, too? He also quoted Mao.

How about George W Bush? He recommended that Rove read a bio of Mao.

Communists. They're everywhere, arent they? Even now....

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..
How exactly is what MediaMatters published "spin"? They quote Dunn, then they quote Beck. Plus there's video. Plus a transcript.

How can the people's own words be "spin"?

She has every right to admire whoever she wants or whatever she wants. She has the right to purpose laws as she pleases. Then they get voted in or out.
Actually, she doesn't get to propose laws to anyone other than her boss, who can then take them to someone in Congress to see about having a bill written. She was't elected to any position, and she has no authority to do anything other than put the official message of the White House out to the public. She's the White House Communications Director.

Quoting Mao and calling Mao your favorite are two diifferent things.

The question is: can she do her job? No one has shown how her favor of Mao's philosophy has negatively affected her ability to do her job. Someone, anyone, show me how her beliefs have compromised her ability to do her job. If her beliefs compromise her ability to do her job, then she should be fired.

That is my objective answer.
There are even arguments to be made supporting the idea that advocating Mao's philosophy will HELP her in her current job of representing the views & positions of the Obama administration.

You can read Anita Dunn's exact words many places on the internet and I believe her speech was videotaped as well.

I know that . No one talking about her. It's what she said about Mao that is the subject. Nice to see you can defend a communist or are you one too?
