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.

"The Mao quote is one I picked up from the late Republican strategist Lee Atwater from something I read in the late 1980s, so I hope I don't get my progressive friends mad at me," Dunn told CNN.

They have been doing this. Like little kids. They think they are supposed to challenge the free press.

Uh....Aspin STUDIED MAO, he did not WORSHIP MAO. Aspin studied Mao because of his assignments in the administration during Viet Nam. Dunn’s slobbering love affair seems real, but I’m not surprised since her boss bows to and kisses up to thugs. I’m sure Les would not have his job if Mao was “the person he turned to” for guidance. Once again, this corrupt bunch of Czars and Marxist-in-Chief thinks we’re all stupid.

The problem with the Obama regime is that their liars lie like little kids

The real problem is that they're the ones in power.

We have to figue out what to do about it before it is too late

LOL They don’t realize that they DON’T have the right to control everything. They hate the free press because it exposes them for what they are.

“My suspicion is that she was as Marxist then in her beliefs ...
and likely less-guarded with her statements.”

(hear my friendly tone)
I suspect she was MORE-guarded with her statements when working for Bradley
(a guy that had played in the NBA and projected a moderate Democrat personna).

Now she’s with Obama’s Street Gang and thinks it’s open season
on Republicans, conservatives, etc.
She’s probably been told by a genial fellow in The Oval Office
that he’ll back her up 200% in any sort of character assasination
she completes for “the greater good” and “in the name of Change”.

They fired two warning shots this week, one a Fox and then one at Rush.

This is community organizing on a National level.

Um whom is questioning Obama? ... Glenn Beck and millions of faithful followers, some of whom are working their butts off to get more data to his staff so the American people can become aware of the dangerous bastard running the nation into oblivion! Millions of mothers have awakened. It might not be too long now before this overt commie scum is ejected from the Oval Office.

Why do you think there are some of us who will not be deterred from the birther approach to exposing this commie-in-chief. It is the only immediate possibility to corrode his irrational support. It need not ever make it to the SCOTUS, just have the discovery necessary to show he is a fraud ... are you reading along, Judge Carter. We know you visit FR occasionally. :^)

Well, I managed, after waiting about a minute, to get to the Lee
Atwater page on Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Atwater

NO MENTION OF MAO.

well, at least not five minutes ago...

So I guess we will have to wait on Anita (or someone more competent,
which means there are lots of candidates) to produce said late-1980s
quote of Lee Atwater’s adoration of Mao.

I wonder if Anita just twisted a comment Atwater (who did have a biting
sense of humor) made about polar opposites (Mao/Mother Teresa)
after his brain tumor had started to take it’s toll on his cognition.

The fact that the Whor* House is in an on going argument with radio/tv talk show host is too funny, sad but too funny.

What's not funny is the current occupants in the White House have no political opposition. The Republicans have been conditioned to not be critical of a black man. The Democarte are free to critize anybody.

Yep, and she is scared to call Beck because she knows she is a liar.

I'm talking, more than that general stuff. Let me put it this way, who or what reporter is looking him in the eye and asking him when will he be making a statement about all these communists/Marxist he is appointing as Czars etc. etc. Yeah, Glenn is asking and so are other FOX people but someone needs to stand up to his face on television. Hell, they don't even ask Gibbs at the daily news sessions.
