Anita Dunn: A corruptocrat flack and a Mao cheerleader

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 15, 2009 07:53 PM


President Obama with Anita Dunn, David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel, and Robert Gibbs (via White House Flickr stream)

Earlier this week, I spotlighted White House interim communications director and chief Fox-basher Anita Dunn’s career-long commitment to flacking for one of the Beltway’s most entrenched and crooked creatures, Tom Daschle.

I also noted that Dunn is married to Obama thug lawyer Robert Bauer, who tried valiantly to get the DOJ to prosecute conservative critics and punish TV stations for running an ad critical of Obama’s relationship with Weather Underground Bill Ayers.

Add to the mix this fun fact from Glenn Beck…Dunn is a Mao enthusiast. The White House says she is joking.

Doesn’t seem that way. And, um, who would joke about such a thing?

Hat tip: Ace and HA.

More: Squier, Knapp, and Dunn — Dunn’s p.r. firm — has clients including:

*SEIU-National
*SEIU-Local 1199
*Ceres-Far Left environmentalists “for sustainable prosperity”
*American Rights at Work-Big Labor outfit chaired by David Bonior

And more from reader Dan:

1. Her firm did the ads for Rod Blagojevich in Illinois in 2002 and 2006. In other words, they used lies to help elect the most corrupt governor in Illinois.

2. She or her partner Squier have widely been speculated to be one of the figures mentioned in Blagojevich indictment as a Washington consultant on a conference call mentioned by Patrick Fitzgerald.

3. Dunn’s husband was also the personal lawyer of Barack Obama related to the Blagojevich matter. Remember, he was questioned by the feds.

    Like Stalin, Mao’s created famines killed 24-36 million people, not to mention the millions exterminated and imprisoned during the “People’s Revolution.” But hey! Let’s talk about the good he did, like eliminating female foot binding and all the cool poetry he wrote. Remember the Mao poetry Obama quoted in his inaguration speech? Then why are Are you surprised a Mao-lover is on his staff?

    BTW- Wanna try the Jefferson comparison again?

    And What would Mao think?….if he could see China becoming wealthy and powerful by adopting Capitalism, would he be gladdened seeing his old enemy the USA becoming poor and less powerful as it adopts to Communism?

    Good one, Jimmie. Communism has been an economic failure everywhere its been tried, so China wised-up and now uses Capitalism to fund its comminusm.

    Instead of being alarmed at this growing reality, liberals like Dunn extoll the virtues of communists. It’s frightening when you look at the above photo, that such a mush-brain could take part in an Oval Office conference.

    Still looking for the usual people to try to compare Jefferson, the slave owner, to Mao. Any takers?

    Watching that video on Glenn’s show last night, I wondered which was more frightening…the fact she found Mao admirable at all or the possibility she’s so dumb and shallow, she thought Mao was a guy who was all about individuality or something, not about The Great Leap Forward or The Cultural Revolution that killed millions of Chinese. Kinda like the time Cameron Diaz traveled to Peru with her “cool” Maoist bag she bought in China, bringing back unhappy memories of Shining Path to the locals.

    And what’s going on with her mouth??

    I’m watching for WWMD bracelets.
    “What Would Mao Do?”

    They would be lovely accessories to Che t-shirts, Obama Hope pins, and black berets! sarc/

    The picture of those five radicals in the Oval Office is like a scene from a nightmare.

    And Dunn absolutely was serious when she praised Mao.

    Like Beck said

    “How many radicals is it gonna take…how many radicals surrounding our president is it gonna take before you understand that when the president says ‘he want’s to transform the country‘ …well… he want’s to transform it alright.”

    Dunn and the rest of them have an agenda that they are not willing to share openly. Not yet anyway.

    What would Mao say?

    “Shop till you drop!”

    He would think that Dunn is a useful idiot and would use her until it was time to put a bullet in the back of her head.
    People who worship thugs and murders are usually surprised when they realize they are expendable. Or would be if they got to the point where they could realize it.
    That’s how idol worship works.

    Does Obama have ANY friends that aren’t former terrorists, active racists or left-wing lunatics?

    Finding a “normal” friend would seem to be newsworthy…

    Oddly, he doesn’t even seem to have had any classmates between high school and law school…

    Rightwingmom, you should market that idea, fast. Wouldn’t it be amusing to be practicing Capitalism using the name of a deceased communist?
