Former WH communications director attacks GOP as intolerant over Ground Zero mosque
###
Former White House communications director Anita Dunn on Tuesday launched a furious attack against Republicans who have criticized President Obama’s remarks on the Ground Zero mosque, labeling the GOP as the party of intolerance.
“The Republican party as solidifying its reputation for intolerance in this year, for almost any kind of difference in American society, is going down a very dangerous long term road,” Dunn said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“They might see some short term things although I think the American people are better than that,” she said.
Coming from Dunn — who is no longer works for the Obama administration but still goes to the White House for regular message meetings — the attacks on the GOP could be viewed as having been coordinated with top advisers to the president such as David Axelrod and Dan Pfeiffer, her former deputy who now runs Obama’s communications shop.
But when asked by e-mail, Dunn told the Daily Caller that Axelrod and Pfeiffer “did not know, approve, or suggest” her comments, which she said were her “own personal opinions.”
Numerous times, Dunn sought to characterize the debate over the mosque as one which pits those who want to preserve religious freedom against a Republican party which she said is “labeling all Muslims in this country as terrorists.”
“The race to the bottom in the Republican party this year – whether it is around revisiting the 14th amendment, whether it’s around immigration, or whether it is around this now – the race to the bottom means 2012 could be very, very depressing to watch. It’s almost like the party decided to update itself as the Know-nothing version 2.0.”
Dunn was challenged, however, by two others on the “Morning Joe” panel.
“What’s happened here is this is a problem for the White House because the president handled this horribly by the way he did this on Friday, horribly by what he’s come back with on Saturday,” said Mark Halperin, of Time Magazine.
“But Anita, isn’t the fundamental problem right now that the president is refusing to take a position, as your friend and client Senator Reid did, where does the president stand on what Americans really care about. We’re all for freedom of expression, we’re all for freedom of speech, but where does the president stand on what he thinks should happen with this cultural center?” Halperin said.
Dunn didn’t answer Halperin’s query, but corrected his assertion that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, is her client.
“There is barely a group of people in the United States who at some point has not been targeted over the past, and this country tends to close ranks and say, ‘No, we’re better than that,’” Dunn said. “And that’s what the president was trying to take this argument to, I think to a much higher level.”

Watch the blinks and mouth contortions. Freaky.
** Ping!
Sorry Dunn, I don’t speak lizard...
Is her name really Anita Dunn and not Anita Done Dumb?
If so...isn't it nice that the wife of the top WH lawyer is now speaking out for Islam to forge a large presence in lower manhattan?
Very encouraging for Hamas, I'm sure.
Dunn is married to Robert Bauer, former partner at Perkins Coie and current personal counsel to President Obama and the White House Counsel.[14] Bauer has also been the general counsel of Obama for America since January 2007
And to that marxist hag I say, “ahhhh, shaddup!
She has “tardive dyskinesia” which is caused by taking certain anti pschotic medications for a long time.

So if she is crazy now, how battsh*t insane was she before taking meds.
They have successfully surrounded themselves with like minded people and now seriously believe they are speaking for a majority of Americans. It is stunning to watch this administration continue to alienate more and more motivated voters every time they open their mouths.
Hurry November!

Her husband, Robert Bauer, is the barracuda

She’s clearly on some kind of heavy anti-depressant or anti-psychotic medication, and she desperately needs it.

I just can not tolerate communists. Sorry Anita. Now go away.
The commie ‘RATS are all going over the edge. They see the handwriting on the wall! See you jackasses in November!!!
Well..... rather I would say to that Maoist hag,
“You just keep running yo’ mouth, babycakes!”
;^)
Does this B have anything to say about Harry Reid’s Mosque opposition?
“So if she is crazy now, how battsh*t insane was she before taking meds”
I always liked that expression. Another one is crazier than an outhouse rat. Either would work, in this case.
I saw the still picture of the video and it almost scared me off. And what is it with those annoying mouth gyrations of hers? Is that a nervous twitch?
