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.

Mao was a political philosopher? Who knew? I thought he was just a thug and mass-murderer.

That was pretty sneaky of Beck to get a Dunn look and sound alike. He even got the whole school to reenact the speech listing to his words through the puppet impostor. Glad she cleared that up. I didn’t think anybody could really be that much of a moron. /sarcasm

Yes, the commies of the fifth column enemedia are enabling their fascist messiah, so the lying bastards can rewrite whatever they choose ... and feed the sh!t to the public via the alphabet networks.

Ah...holding up the corpse of Lee Atwater to shield yourself from the consequences of having mistakenly told the truth.

Classy!

I didn't see anything about any specific quote in the video I watched. She just said that Mao was one of her favorite political philosophers.

It used to be that liberals were allowed to rewrite history from a decade ago. Now they are allowed to rewrite it from yesterday.

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.

Oh crap, did you see some of the comments over there?

Seeing those kinds of responses really makes me cringe for the future of this country.

This is lame. An attempt to whip libs into more of a frenzy by invoking someone they hate and WISHED cancer on. (I’m not saying they caused it, just that they rejoiced over the man’s death.)

If this was the case, why didn’t she call on the red phone. It’s her ONLY job...correcting Fox and we KNOW she had the digits!

When Reagan went to Bittburg the media soiled themselves and the Ramones even wrote a song about it.

This woman admits that she draws inspiration from a brutal murderer that made that POS Hitler look like an amateur.

They are becoming somewhat unhinged.

I want them to become totally unhinged.

I want to be able to email Carville and ask him what happened to that prophetic claim concerning 40 more years of Democratic Party dominance.

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.
