Anita Dunn
Glenn Beck is a bit too emotionally labile for my taste, but he introduces quite an interesting clip on his program featuring Barack Obama’s White House interim Communications Director Anita Dunn delivering a speech, just last June, in which she identifies Mao Tse Tung and Mother Theresa as her favorite philosophers.
Dunn recently made headlines when she openly declared war on Fox News.

Beck’s point is a fundamentally valid one. What does it say about this administration that so many of its appointments come from so deep in the extreme left? When so many of his appointees are precisely the kind of people who look on figures like Chairman Mao, and other communists revolutionaries, with approval and self identification? It’s no accident that the current administration is strong-arming democratic Honduras for not letting leftist president Zelaya overthrow its constitution.
A conservative like Rush Limbaugh gets smeared as an extremist and slandered by having invented racially insensitive remarks attributed to him. Rush Limbaugh can’t be allowed to buy a football team, but somebody who considers Mao Tse Tung her “favorite philosopher” can be White House Communications Director. What a country!

Roger Kimball has asked, “where will it end?” Perhaps the better question might be, “when will it end-if it ends?” The answer to this last question is that it will end only when we stop it. Sadly, these people have carefully crafted their coup ( and make no mistake, that’s exactly what it is) for decades, while our seditious “representatives” have helped sow the seeds for our demise.
