White House Communications Director Anita Dunn Praises the Greatest Mass Murderer in History

I think it might be time for White House Communications Director Anita Dunn to start getting her resume ready because she needs to be fired ASAP. These statements are perhaps the height of morally repugnant thought.

Though Dunn acknowledged that Chairman Mao and Mother Teresa are “not often coupled together,” she did not preface or qualify her remarks about Mao at all. In the video, Dunn said: “[T]he third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa – not often coupled with each other -- but the two people that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point, which is you’re going to make choices, you’re going to challenge, you’re going to say why not. You’re going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before. But here’s the deal: These are your choices, they are no one else’s.”

Yes, she just said Mao was her "favorite political philosophers." Also does she actually mean "figure out how to do things that have never been done before" refers to the genocide of between 50 and 75 million Chinese?

Is a "Dunn's challenge" the extermination of Chinese ethnic minorities in Tibet, the widespread use of "re-education" camps or the mass starvation of 20-43 million people during the "Great Leap Forward?"

Plus she coupled a genocidal madman with perhaps one of the most selfless people to have ever lived on earth in the form of Mother Teresa. I think that may have been the most sickening moral equivalency argument in history of sickening moral equivalency arguments.

What was even worse is that she said this tripe to high school students. Anita Dunn says: "Reach for the stars kids you too can wipe out tens of millions of your countrymen and be considered the greatest killer in the history of mankind!" After all it is all about "choices."
