This woman has a horribly annoying facial gesture - her tongue is like a lizards.
I noticed that too, about her lips. She was always smacking them or something in between words and sentences ... whenever she paused. Not really very attractive for someone speaking in public.

As to the poll question, this lady should be fired. I cannot even imagine letting people with such views anywhere near the White House. Why are we letting supporters of such evil inside the most important building in our government?

Of course the leftists on this Forum think we make this stuff up, and they refuse to watch Fox News. That is why they are so poorly informed.

One, what are her views, exactly? That Mao and Mother Theresa shared a specific personality trait, the ability to focus on the job at hand? When did that personality trait become evil?

And two, you are deluded if you think none of us leftists on the Forum watch Fox News. We watch, and we watch other news sources. Then we, gasp, do research to determine the accuracy of ALL the news sources on a particular subject. That is why we are so well-informed. Have you used your critical faculties to objectively evaluate any of your news lately?

Huh???? What the heck does that have to do with this? Are you clueless, or what?

Or are you seriously trying to compare Bush and Cheney to an evil dictator like Mao? If you are really trying to make that stick, as though there were some validity to the argument, I would have to question your reasoning abilities and mental acumen.

Very fluently, I think. This is an example of the fun part of all this garbage. Thanks.

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 am not saying Mao was a saint, but that figure of 70 million that you give is way, way too high.

nonsenseguy, did FauxNews inform you that Newt Gingrich quoted Mao approvingly and GWB recommended a bio of Mao to K Rove?

You're right, it's hard to believe this Volksdummendreck isnt made up.

Obama aide fires back at Beck over Mao remarks - CNN.com
Quote:
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.
Quote:
"War is politics with blood; politics is war without blood," Gingrich said, citing Mao.
Quote:
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."
