Here's what this is really about:

Interim Media Strategist Leads Salvo Against Fox
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/14/AR2009101403850.html

So Fox uses it's massive resources to scour every word she has ever uttered and this is the best they can come up with. I guarantee you this is going nowhere.

As for who she is, she is one of the most highly regarded and sought after people in the business:

Dunn, began her career in the Carter White House, first as an intern for White House Communications Director Gerald Rafshoon and then worked for chief of staff Hamilton Jordan. She worked on the campaign of Senator John Glenn (D-OH), and on Capitol Hill before joining the firm founded by Bob Squier and Bill Knapp in 1993. She has been the top adviser to Senator Bill Bradley (D-NJ), including serving as the chief strategist for his presidential campaign, Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN), and former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD). She was hired by then-Senator Barack Obama in 2006 to direct communications and strategy for his political action committee, The Hopefund. This move signaled to many that Obama was nearing a run for the presidency. While advising Hopefund and Obama in 2006, she was instrumental in the preparations for the launch of Obama for America, and brought many key staffers to the Obama campaign with whom she had worked in Bayh or Daschle's offices.

Actually, Glen Beck showed a video of her speaking to HIGH SCHOOL students LAST June. She said that she admired the political philosophies of Mao Tse Tung and Mother Theresa. Didn't Mao murder 70-100million of his people?

In his early days Mao was a prolific writer, philosopher. and brilliant military leader. His writings are read by scholars the world over. Later he, along with others, instituted the "cultural revolution". The excesses of the cultural revolution resulted in the deaths of millions. How many, no one can say.

The philosophies Dunn is referring to are in his early writings which are admired by many.

Mao was an awful person and an awful leader of a country, but he was pretty smart with warring and revolutioning and had a lot of endurance.

I think that, given the context and her explanation, that woman isn't advocating Maoism or anything like it.

You and your liberal ilk never cease to amaze me. Your side rants about George W. Bush being a "war monger", a "war criminal", and a "lying murderer" and yet you can sit here with a straight face and defend one histories most despicable and evil men who was responsible for the torture and death of MILLIONS of his countrymen and citizens.

"Oh, Great Leader wasn't such a bad guy! He wrote poetry and thought deep thoughts and his farts all smelled like roses!"

And why do you do it? To keep your political messiah's halo from getting tarnished when it is found out that he surrounds himself with socialists, radicals, and morons.

Gag me.

You need to fill in for Robert Gibbs because that guy has to feel like Daffy Duck running back and forth on stage because of people taking shots at him with relentless questions being fired. You can just see the feathers coming off. Speaking of Gibbs, I wonder how much longer he can last with all of his fingers and toes stuck in the dyke of Dem damage control. Sooner or later the water spills out over the top and on top of his head. That guy has got to be taking meds. Either that or he can't possibly be taking his job too seriously.

Anyways, good spin.

LoL! Here we go again!

There needs to be a new soap opera or prime time drama coming out on television.
Let's call it, "As the World Spins"

Let me ask you something. If I create a great work of art, then commit a heinous crime, does the heinousness of my crime make the work of art less great? Does the greatness of the work of art make the crime less heinous?

People of reasonable intellect are able distinguish the value of a work or an action on it's own merit. They are capable of seeing the world in other then absolutes.

They are also able to have a conversation about such things without resorting to simpleminded hyperbole.

People of reasonable intellect would never call GWB a war monger, war criminal, or murderer, because he wasn't. He simply was not competent enough to manage two wars, and the result of his incompetence was 5000 dead American solders, 25000 severely wounded American solders, and somewhere on the order of a half a million dead Iraqis with little to show for it.

Dunn is eminently qualified for her position. If she would work for republicans, any republican would be happy to have her. She is one of the reasons Obama won, and one of the reason he will win again, easily, in 2012.

People of reasonable intellect know for a absolute fact that this is nothing more than a Fox hatched job that will amount to nothing.

I'm pretty sure she was half-joking about Mao being a favorite philosopher anyways, given her quip about him and Mother Theresa not often being paired with each other.

I don't really see the controversy here.

Wow, this is a TOS-challenging thread... If you listen to what she said, she's not talking about the oh-so-great early musings or artwork of Mao (BTW, that Hitler guy was an artist early on... must not have been such a bad guy...he did make the trains run on time... and Stalin was a bit of a fahion horse. I mean, bushy mustaches were all the rage in the U.S.S.R. ).
Ms. Dunn quotes Mao from 1947, when he's battling Chang Kai Shek to take over the country and already committing brutal atrociities. He was THE biggest demon of a demonic century, and this IGNORANT woman citing him to HIGH SCHOOLERS as an inspiration is outrageous!

Maybe you and Huangshan should look at some pictures of Mao's military executing people. Millions of people.

What awful ideas was she advocating?

And are you aware of the awfulness of the Chang Kai Shek regime and the atrocities it committed?

Um, that is her excuse now. She told Jake Tapper that she was "joking". She ought to be fired either way; seriously quoting Mao or joking about him being a philosopher to high school kids.

How much of a joke would it have been if she chose Hitler in place of Mao? Hitler was a total piker compared to Mao when it comes to sheer murder. It wasn't a joke. This is exactly what she meant to transmit to these kids because the people popping up in this administration see themselves as pulling off a revolution, guaranteed. This lady's husband is Obama's personal attorney, so I wonder how Obama will separate himself from this latest marxist eruption.

She wasn't citing Chang. And so what? Because his was a brutal regime, it minimizes Mao's record somehow? This is MAO were talking about! THE BIGGEST MASS MURDERER IN HISTORY! A member of Obama's administration ADMIRES his political philosophy! She puts him on a philosophical par with MOTHER THERESA! She advises HIGH SCHOOLERS to take his advice!
Was there no one else she could have cited for an example of "finding your own way"? She's either ignorant of 20th century history or a far-left ideologue that would justify the biggest atrocities in history. Either way, what's she doing at the White House?

They're high schoolers and educators. They probably have no idea what Mao really did (students), or they've so justified their own ideology and white-wash of history that they're in denial (educators).
I used to teach HS, so I know of what I speak.

Incorrect. While Mao was certainly no slouch when it came to murder, most deaths under Maoism were due to famines resulting from bad policy.

For those of us in Western Civilization who are not ChiComm apologists, we find that a hilarious rationalization for a murderer. I mean it's not as though he didn't write down his intentions. Do Stalin's apologists use this too?


And, bad news for the folks in denial, there's more on the way. Stay tuned.

I'm not an apologist for Mao. I noted earlier that he was an awful person and an awful leader. Please don't go down this road.

Do you find famine to be hilarious?
