War between White House and Fox News hots up as Anita Dunn is exposed as a fan of Chairman Mao
Telegraph Blogs (U.K.) ^ | October 17, 2009 | Stephanie Gutman

It’s not exactly a bloody horse head left in the bed overnight, but Fox News has sent a message it’s ready to play hardball with the White House Communications Director who says she’s going to treat Fox News “the way we treat an opponent” and not like an ordinary cable network. (See Toby Harnden’s post, “Barack Obama’s Silly Obsession with Fox News“.)

Anita Dunn went on one of the Sunday talk shows last weekend to fulminate about Fox, calling it “a wing of the Republican Party” and “not a news organization in the sense that CNN is a news organization.” By Thursday, researchers for Fox’s very popular Glenn Beck Show had unearthed video of Dunn giving an inspirational address last June to an audience of high school students in which she quotes from one of her “favorite political philosophers”, one of the “two people she turns to most”, who turns out to be Mao Tse-tung. By Friday, the clip had gone as viral as can be. (To watch clip, go to about 4:00 to get past Beck’s introduction and see Dunn’s speech.)

Voice brimming with emotion, Dunn says:

In 1947, when Mao Tse Tung was being challenged within his own party on his plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai‑shek and the Nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army, they had the air force, they had everything on their side. And people said, “How can you win? How can you do this? How can you do this against all of the odds against you?” And Mao Tse Tung said, you know, “You fight your war, and I’ll fight mine.”

She then asks the youngsters to “think about that for a second” and draw the conclusion that “You don’t have to accept other’s definition of how to

It’s a pleasure when Marxists are exposed and are allowed to step in their own horse$&*% courtesy of the “right wing conspiracy.” The more exposure these pieces of human excrement are given, the more likely chance we can wake America up again (and the Republican Party), and the continued slide of their ilk and the MSM goes forth unabated. Like cockroaches in a kitchen, when the light goes on they scatter. They hide, but their not dead. That’s why eternal vigilance on the Right is an absolute must for survival of the Republic. Long live America, as the Founding Fathers intended.

Mao Tse Tung said, you know, “You fight your war, and I’ll fight mine.”

I absolutely agree with this Mao statement, it is 100% correct ... just that the sides are a bit flipped in the case of White House vs Fox News

I wasn't as outraged about her stated admiration to Mao as I was with her cheezy little description of how he "took over China."

As always I appreciate how Glenn shines a light on these vermin, but he really blew an opportunity to point out that Mao and his communists were greatly assisted by communists in our State Department like John Service, and actual soviet agents like Asst. Secretary of The Treasury Harry Dexter White. Our foreign policy was manipulated by American communists to support the communist takeover of that country.

I'm a little douche bag.
Crooked and a lout.
Here is my bitch slap.
Here is my snout.

When I get all wee wee'd up,
Then I shout,
Just another Chicago loser and dare to throw me out!

In the end, the writer tried to downplay Dunn as just a silly old (non threatening) pinhead. Not a “real” Maoist.

Can’t we just make it easy and point out the denizens of the White House that are not Communist radicals but rather are patriotic Americans....if any?

Anita Dunn looks like she was auditioning for the new TV Mini Series version of “V”.

Wonder if she can unlock her jaw and eat a Rodent whole.

“Anita Dunn is bringing a knife to a gun fight.”

Nah. Ms. Dunn is dumber than that.

She’s bringing Mao’s “Little Red Book” to a gun fight.

She must not have really read Mao all that well.
As she appears to have missed Mao saying that “Power comes
from the barrel of a gun.”
