Anita Dunn Claims Mao Praise Was An Innocent Joke
American Spectator ^ | October 19, 2009 | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 10/19/2009 10:03:54 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Standup comedian Anita Dunn, who doubles as President Obama's White House communications director, now claims she was only joking when she praised Mao Zedong by calling him “one of the two people that I turn to most,” Glenn Beck revealed on his TV show Monday.

Hilarious ! There have to be 70 million murdered Chinese rolling in the aisles! What a knee-slapper. Beck revealed last week that Dunn idolizes Mao, the brutal Communist dictator of China responsible for the slaughter of tens of millions of innocent victims.

If I were in a position such as hers, I wouldn’t be “joking” about something like that. Just substitute “Hitler” and have a Republican say the same thing and “Poof” they are fired.

She was serious. Just trying to cover her butt.

Holy crap, if you listen to it, there's no doubt she was serious.

Just apologize rather than insult everyone's intelligence.

A “joke” to a high school audience using a quote about one of her favorite philosophers using the biggest mass murder in history? Just like a Democrat, now she tries to lie their way out. The joke is the group of filth Obama has selected to fill dictatorship.

After seeing the video of her making this speech, there was nothing in her demeanor that in any way made what she said a joke. Her delivery wasn’t different from her quotes of Mother Teresa. So was that a joke also?

Clinton announced in the beginning that his administration would be the most ethical in history. We know how well that turned out. That was irony.

Obama said that theirs would be the most transparent in history. They turned out to be the hidden agenda administration. More irony.

Can we now fling the racist card at her? If she was on the right she’d have a whole stack of them whipped at her by now. Along with “bad taste”, “terrible judgment”, “Not funny” and “totally insensitive” peppered in all over.

Quite possibly her head will roll for this if the general public doesn’t buy the “i was just jiving those high school students” story (aka great big fat lie).

At any rate, not too many people would find it the least bit funny to speak of Mao as a great philosopher to a bunch of impressionable high school students.

Sorry, Anita. Not even Mother Teresa could get you out of this one.

Her lips were moving and her tongue kept sticking out of her mouth,
does sticking your tongue out make it joke worthy?

No one who has actually seen and heard the speech thinks she was making a joke. She wasn't. She was trying to inspire the kids by telling them a story about her hero.

Yet the MSM will shamelessly push her "just kidding" lie, knowing it to be false. This effort will succeed in convincing many people that her lie is true.

Just a typical day's work for the MSM propaganda machine.

"Remember that: she chose Mao as an example of someone whose ideas she elevates and exults."

These people will have no problem killing thousands, if not millions of Americans once they really get the big red ball rolling.

That means she was also joking about Mother Teresa.

The really disturbing thing about the video is how awful her impersonation of Heath Ledger's Joker was. She licks her lips, like, three times as often as he did in The Dark Knight and it was already annoying enough in the film.

Yeah, a psychotically weird sense of humor. I’d almost rather hear that her praise was sincere. We know where that cannon is pointed. This is a loose cannon.

I saw her video, and she was NOT joking. Just like a good disciple of Mao, she subscribes to the ends justifies the means principle. Lying is not lying when it serves Marxism. The Obama administration is the most corrupt and dishonest administration in the history of the United States.

...claims she was only joking...

And everyone who saw her speech will say now she is only lying!

Has there ever been an administration (including that of impeached and disbarred Clinton) with anywhere near this level of malicious mendacity?

I never realized people joked when glowing about their favorite philosophers. She mentioned Mother Theresa too. Was she joking about her as well? I wonder what they are all trying to hide? Could it be 0bama’s people already know that this country will never sit for marxism?

She was far too descriptive in her reasons for admiring Mao to now claim it as a joke. Sorry Anita, the zombies who voted for your messiah might buy that and not care, but the rest of us won't.

You verminous, leftist worms are the cancer of humanity. Your brains are rotten and sickly.

I was watching this show called "bait car" the other night where the cops monitor a car and wait for someone to steal it. When someone does, they remotely shut off the engine and the doors lock so the perp is trapped. Almost every time, the punks who stole the car acted as if the cops were as stupid and brainless as themselves. "Oh, I was just moving the car before someone stole it. I wasn't going to steal it!"

This moron Dunn is insulting our intelligence in the same way, which angers me even more than her original comment about admiring a murderer of millions. She thinks everyone is as stupid as she is, and can talk her way out of that gigantic foot in her mouth.

Add to anything else said about her, this:

1) she is insincere (saying things she will quickly retract);

2) she is untruthful (undercutting her own apparently heart-felt remarks, made during a televised speech, at the drop of a hat);

3) she is unwilling to defend her beliefs when actually criticized.
