Anita Dunn Seems to Suggest She is a Mao Tse Tung Fan

In a story that appears all the facts have not been fully explained yet, last May White House communications director Anita Dunn in front of a high school crowd, seems to suggest at one point that her favorite political philosophers are Mother Teresa and Mao Tse Tung.

Watch the segment on the Glen Beck show

She does say after that 'the two are not often coupled with each other' and some see it as a joke, but others say that Dunn's clear understanding of Mao's and Chiang Kai Shek's history suggest that she may not have been joking.

Glen Beck discussed the speech of Anita Dunn on his show, but it could be taken out of context as the whole speech is not present, but Beck says he does apply enough context.

However, as the White House communications director, should she even make jokes about using someone who is so controversial as one of her favorite political philosophers?

The laughter in the audience suggests that Dunn was making a joke, but many may not see it this way. However, even McCain has quoted Mao before.

What do you think?
