Glenn Beck and Anita Dunn face off on a personal war after White House official’s FoxNews slap.
Beck aired, on Thursday, a high school commencement address where Dunn listed Mao as one of her “favorite political philosophers,” alongside Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the Christian Science Monitor reported.
Dunn singled out Fox as a public relations arm of the Republican party last weekend.
"The Mao quote is one I picked up from the late Republican strategist Lee Atwater from something I read in the late 1980s, so I hope I don't get my progressive friends mad at me," Dunn told CNN. "The use of the phrase 'favorite political philosophers' was intended as irony, but clearly the effort fell flat -- at least with a certain Fox commentator whose sense of irony may be missing."
"It's insanity. This is her hero's work," he said. "She thinks of this man's work all the time? It would be like me saying to you, 'you know who my favorite political philosopher is? Adolf Hitler.' Have you read Mein Kampf? [She wants to] fight your fight like Hitler did," Beck said on his show on FoxNews. "America, how many radicals is it going to take? How many radicals surrounding our president before you understand that when the president said he wants to transform the country, he wants to transform it all right."
While Mao is the blame for the death of millions in China because of his extreme political and social reform. He is also one of the most influential leaders in history. It has been seen that many of the great leaders are able to make huge differences, although it is not for the best cause.
