Some film surfaced of White House mouthpiece Anita Dunn, who recently accused Fox news of being the propaganda arm of the Republican party, addressing some high school students. During the address she tells the audience that her favorite philosophers are Mother Theresa and…Chairman Mao? She contends it was wry humor, a la Lee Atwater, but if you listen to the clip it doesn’t sound to me like she’s joking at all-especially when talking about the chairman; a man who destroyed the economy, society, and culture of China and was responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people during his tenure.
This explains a lot really. I mean, most astute folks realized that her rant about Fox was really a combination of frustration over the plan to demonize Fox backfiring, and projection of the avowed role the majority of the legacy media regularly fill for Democrats; the party voice must be unified and strong, after all. And, it explains how she could be so comfortable working amongst all the other Marxists, crypto and overt, in the administration. But most of all, it explains her ease with making an ass of herself during a 9 minute rant on national television; after all, it was in the name of the cult of dear leader…

I think that we should refer to her as Anita Dung.
Yeah Marxists and Maoists! Woot-woot!
You don’t even know what American capitalism is about, much less what Marxism or Maoism is about.
Here’s a cookie, your reward for parroting your dumbassed God-is-America dogma.
It’s too bad you’ll never truly know what it’s like to be free, ahahaha! Irina Echarry is free, you, not so much. She’s kind’a hot, no?
Like any other apparatchik you care to name, Anita Dung (yeah, that’s definitely more appropriate, thanks for the proper alternative) wouldn’t know humor–”very wry” or otherwise–if it bitter straight in the face. These people don’t laugh. Unless of course it’s at a field full of opposition being gunned into a pit by machine gun fire–literally or figuratively. And I don’t really call humor. I call that evil.
From my perspective, the biggest clue to the truth of what she actually believes and is wasn’t that she referred to Mao Tse-Tung as a political philosopher, but rather that she referred to Mother Teresa as one. Mother Teresa?! The most UNpolitical figure most people could probably point to, is a “political” rather than a SPIRITUAL philosopher in little Anita’s view?!
Welcome to Red Lexicon 101…
That was “bit her.” Sorry. I should never type first thing in the morning.
Yes, yes, yes thor; I know that you think we’re all running dog idiots…
Maoism is simply the agrarian version of Marxism, some great nuance there, boy I tell ya!
And just what are you trying to say about your Cuban journalist fetish? You need to just arrange for a “business trip” to Cuba and try and seduce her I guess-but don’t let Honey find out or you may join the ranks of the castratti; but the upside is the aromatherapy candles will lessen the sting…
And free? You want to know what free is? Free is sittin’ here, drinkin’ coffee, arguing politics with somemone I sometimes disagree with, and getting paid for all those years that I protected your right to rape and pillage the system, economically, perhaps even sell our own dollar short; getting paid for enjoying myself anyway!
Nothing like busting ass on the deck, going transonic as you pass in review, so the deck apes and airdales can enjoy the rooster tail that the ol’ aluminum cloud could generate; then pushing the throttles to zone 5, pulling the nose up, and going ballistic…
And I don’t know what freedom is? Puh-leez playah…
You don’t know what freedom is because you don’t know what freedom isn’t.
Hahaha, a little word theory in yo face.
I know all about Marxism. You lost the war. That’s freedom.
Now when you’re done with playing the part of one-man army against a economic theories, which Marxism is, then you can be free too, like Irina and I. Ha!
Touche…
“Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose…”
