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.

Yes, she really came across as a dried-out, slimey Liberal HAG.
She was stomach-turning to watch.
Lol, Glen had a phone especially for her to call him on the show. She didn’t.

Mao Tse Dun(g)
Some of these creeps have 1/2 the useable IQ of those they attack
What they say or write does not appear to them to be of any consequence to them before or when or after it occurs
Even a dog knows what a rolled newspaper may mean

Red Phone - yes
The left will not get in the ring unless the fight is fixed
[Red Phone - yes]
I know it was a boring comment.
HAHA, she is running for cover. We all admire Mao don’t we? Where in the F do they find these freaking people?
.
Can you imagine a televised - no teleprompter - no notes - no podium - no ear-bud - live strictly timed debate between Glenn Beck and Obama?
Yes, I can picture it well, it would be so, so, Mao Tse Fun!!
.
The ratings would be huge
Some puns are huger than others!
Hey Lee? Was that your fault??? Lee?? You around??? Lee?
Guess he’s not around to defend himself. How convenient.
If Lee Atwater made any quotes like this about Mao, I can’t find them.
I haven’t tried factcheck.org yet though.
I’m pretty sure Mao wasn’t one of Lee Atwater’s important political philosophers.
Very Well Said!
The leftist who control the Democrat party have worked for decades to do a few things that for them are key to destroying America as the one great, exceptional nation.
1.)—Redefine morality to normalize lasciviousness, sex outside of marriage, and sex perverion.
2.)—Mainstream the criminals such as Mao, Che, Castro, and give the various leftist ideologies equal footing with our Constitution and our “God Given rights”.
3.)—Attack the Bible and undermine the authority it has always had in defining our values, our laws and our very civilization.
4.)—Surrender our national autonomy to a centralized group of fellow Bible haters whose main goal is a radical and intolerant hyper secular humanistic world government which will forcefully shape all law and culture to match their rebellion against God.
A good example is the “Human Rights” banner, which is hard at work destroying the morality necessary for true freedom.
Yours are great, too!
Folks are missing the fact that she admits with this lie that she doesn’t mean what she said though she pretended sincerity ... she will settle for ‘I wasn’t sincere’ in order to divert attention from the fact that she idolizes the murderous devil named Mao ... but she is only one among dozens now working out of what used to be our White House. If the press were not worshipping up obama’s anal orifice, this crap from this liar would be immediately used to eviscerate her and her commie bosses.
Some research is needed.
Dunn may be lying with a half truth.
Maybe Atwater mentioned the line from Mao.
But, if Atwater did NOT say, as Dunn did, that Mao was one of his political heroes, then she’s lying in her presentation of the facts because she attempts to make-believe that Atwater shared her sentiments about the line from Mao, and more, about Mao the man and political philosopher.
I repeat, more research is needed - to find the quote from Atwater and it’s complete context.
This is actually good, because while even not using the "Beck Red Phone" (a BRILLIANT ploy by the Good Guys I might add), the White House has stepped into the trap by responding. Now we can punch holes in what they said and search for additional evidence, which will emerge, connecting this high Obama aide to Mao Zedong Thought. This is how we brought down Van Jones. It did not happen with the first swing, we needed the first denial out of the White House to then go on to show them up as liars. Had they not responded at all, that would have made our work more difficult. Now it will be a cake-walk. Here is where I am going:
Unfortunately for them, they are in a corner in one critical area regarding her comments, which they are conveniently ignorning but from which they cannot escape. I devoted another thread to it. And it is this.
Anita Dunn could get away with this, calling it a "joke" or "tongue in cheek" (in her case, the snake tongue makes quite an appearance). This would work if she had only stopped when she said that she considered Mao Zedong as one of her two favorite political philosophers. Here is where she screwed up:
She THEN went on to CONTEXTUALIZE her like or respect of Mao as a philosopher. She referenced him, in a specific historic context. Her point to the students was clearly that "even if your back is up against the wall, no matter what the odds, you can be sure if you stick to it you will suceed, such as the case of Mao Zedong". She then rolled out the specific year 1947 and illustrated his internal political problems within the Communist Party. This speficially represents the year that Mao begin major purges within his Party to gain complete control, these were carried out through murder, assassinations, and further he also strongly ramped up political violence in the areas seized by his Communists from the Nationalists in 1947. THAT IS WHY ANITA DUNN SAID "IN 1947". By it, she SPECIFICALLY contextualized her relationship with Mao, in that she is in awe or somehow considers Mao's political activity against odds even within his own Party, as worthy of attention or note. Again, that engendered some of the bloodiest, revolutionary behavior WITHIN the Communist Party of China.
She cannot laugh this off. The White House cannot laugh it off. They cannot spin it as a joke. And they cannot say it was taken out of context, because she SPECIFICALLY framed and contextualized ("1947") murderous Chairman Mao Zedong with her very own words. See the tape again. It is true. This woman is in big trouble. She cannot get out of this philosophical head lock.
Thank you, AmericanInTokyo.
Obviously her boss must admire the same traits and actions of Mao.
