Glenn Beck: Targeting Anita Dunn
The Fox News host goes after the White House official who called his network a Republican mouthpiece.

Looks like another White House official is "about to get Van Jonesed," said Adam K. Raymond in New York magazine. Fox News host Glenn Beck, fresh off his successful effort to push out former green-jobs czar Jones, is going after White House communications director Anita Dunn, who recently called Fox the communications arm of the Republican Party. Beck showed video of Dunn saying that Mao Zedong is one of her favorite political philosophers, and the attack began. (watch Glenn Beck's criticism of Anita Dunn)
Yes, Anita Dunn is a Mao cheerleader, said Michelle Malkin in her blog, but that's not her only problem. The White House's "chief Fox-basher" also has a "career-long commitment to flacking for one of the Beltway’s most entrenched and crooked creatures, Tom Daschle," and she's "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."
Looks like Glenn Beck won't rest, said Mark Silva in the Chicago Tribune, until he has gotten rid of "every member of the Obama administration who ever hung a Che Guevera poster on his college dorm wall." Dunn will probably survive her "Becking"—unlike environmental advisor Jones, who resigned after Beck "singled him out as a communist sympathizer." But this won't be the end of the Fox News war—now it's the White House's turn to fire back.

Posted by Eric, Friday, October 16, 2009, 11:07 am I am glad there are more people talking about this. People a lot of times dismiss things simply because Glenn is saying it. Why is there so much apathy towards marxists and obvious socialists? Is this really the direction this country wants to head? A redistribution of wealth? Depending on your government for everything? I do not like the direction this country is headed, and I find it vile that so many people dismiss our valid concerns. We want answers...
Posted by Catherine , Friday, October 16, 2009, 11:26 am Seriously?! The Obama Administration is at fault, not Glenn Beck, for putting avowed Communists in his administration! We are not, and never plan to be, a Communist nation. God help us!

Posted by Aaron, Friday, October 16, 2009, 11:52 am Hear him, hear him! 3 Cheers for Eric. I will also reprint his words for they sum up my thoughts to a T. ...Why is there so much apathy towards marxists and obvious socialists? Is this really the direction this country wants to head?

Posted by Tim Tierney, Friday, October 16, 2009, 12:00 pm I don't think this assertion in the article above lends enough clarity:Fox News host Glenn Beck, fresh off his successful effort to push out former greenjobs czar Jones, is going after White House communications director Anita Dunn Glenn Beck isn't exposing these people for the express purpose of ousting them from their jobs but rather to shed light on the underlying philosophy of the decisionmakers in this administration. Who hired these socialists into the top posts of our nation?! What does our President truly believe? Scary times.
Posted by James, Friday, October 16, 2009, 12:02 pm What is WRONG with you people? The woman says her philosopher is a mass murderer and you complain about Beck?! Such hypocrisy... if a GOP member said their philosopher was a KKK leader, you'd be enraged, and the entire News media would attack him or her endlessly. As bad as the KKK is... I kinda think Good Ol' Mao was just a LITTLE bit worse... You're so pathetic it's not surprising anymore. She really messed up when she attack Fox News. That was a dumba move. I love the red phone thing too. Very humorous.
Posted by James, Friday, October 16, 2009, 12:06 pm If one of Bush's aides once told highschoolers that he or she looked to Adolf Hitler for philosophical guidance, people would STILL be talking about it in the year 2078.If Rush Limbaugh said he idolizes Jefferson Davis, Jesse Jackson would make it a point to literally bombard every town and city with leaflets falling from the sky about it.But when Dunn looks to Mao for philosophy, oh all of a sudden, 'it's not that bad, and how dare that evil Beck attack her.' Nevermind the fact that the guy oppressed millions, killed millions, and was evil.
