Don’t worry, Anita. I’m sure a righteous wind will come and blow it all away.

The real irony is that if Mother Teresa had been working with the poor of Shanghai in 1949 instead of Calcutta, Mao would have had her executed as he did with other missionaries who did not flee before he took over.

Here is Obama's "Communication Director", Anita Dunn, praising communist mass-murderer Mao Tse Tung before a crowd of **high-schoolers**, explaining to them how he overcame seemingly impossible odds in overthrowing the previous government! Was she trying to "inspire" these kids with that???

Anita Dunn: "The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers, Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa. Not often coupled with each other, but the two people that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point, which is: You're going to make choices. ... But here's the deal: These are your choices; they are no one else's.

"In 1947, when Mao Tse Tung was being challenged within his own party on his own plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army. ... They had everything on their side. And people said 'How can you win? How can you do this against all of the odds against you?'

"And Mao Tse Tung says, 'You fight your war and I'll fight mine.' You don't have to accept the definition of how to do things. ... You fight your war, you let them fight theirs. Everybody has their own path."

I don’t know where to find it. It’s was played on Rush today. The anger in Obama’s voice is unreal.

I think you have a focus group telling the WH to go after insurance companies. So he does with a vengeance.

Atwater is still dead (RIP) and unable to verify the comment. Others speculate she mistakenly substituted Mao for Sun Tsu (Lee was a fan). As for me ... just wish that Lee Atwater was still around. ;o)

This is crazy! The White House Communications Director says Mao Tse Tung was one of her favorite political philosophers? This is beyond stupid!

I heard the Rush show on this one. I like the Mao quote. However, I would not have named him as my favorite political philosopher, or praised him. Just like many evil men, we can (and should) learn from them, and use some of their philosophies against them. Such as “Alinsky Rules” against Obama.

It’s absolutely stunning to me that as a Country we have allowed these perverts to take control of our Republic.

Anita Dunn subscribes to Joseph Stalin’s belief that “The death of one is a tragedy, the death of a million is just a statistic.”

But we’re all nutters for thinking Obama to be a Communist.

When questioned last week after a video of her speech surfaced, however, Dunn said she was using "irony" in reference to Mao. A leading expert on China told CNSNews.com that Dunn's remarks were "pathetic," given the human rights atrocities committed under Mao's reign.
As fake and phony denials go, that one by Dunn is ludicrous. Thanks Tailgunner Joe.

And where are all those pseudo-intellectual northeastern liberal (sorry, "progressive") elites who made such a big deal about GWB's honest response about his favorite political philosopher?

Perhaps their ivy league educations did not provide them the words of Thomas Jefferson on the subject of political philosophy.

Over two centuries ago, the same Jefferson who told his nephew that each should use reason to question even the existence of God, also penned our Declaration of Independence which, according to him, reflected "the American mind" of the time and included references to God in four distinct manifestations.

In others of his writings he stated that Jesus "preached philanthropy and universal charity and benevolence," that "a system of morals is presented to us [by Jesus], which, if filled up in the style and spirit of the rich fragments he left us, would be the most perfect and sublime that has ever been taught by man."

He wrote, "His moral doctrines...were more pure and perfect than those of the most correct of the philosophers...and they went far beyond both in inculcating universal philanthropy, not only to kindred and friends, to neighbors and countrymen, but to all mankind, gathering all into one family, under the bonds of love, charity, peace, common wants, and common aids," which, Jefferson said, "will evince the peculiar superiority of the system of Jesus over all others."

Comparing the Hebrew code which, according to Jefferson, "laid hold of actions only," "He [Jesus] pushed his scrutinies into the heart of man; erected his tribunal in the region of his thoughts, and purified the waters at the fountain head."

That Jefferson cut out the statements which he believed to be directly attributable to Jesus, pasted them into a little book which he kept by his bed and read from them daily, might lead one to conclude that his political philosphy probably was influenced by what he considered to be the superiority of the "philosophy" of Jesus.

The elite media mocked Bush. The elite media is silent on Dunn' "go to" philosopher, Chairman Mao.

Perhaps the elite media should read Jefferson.
