    Day By Day by Chris Muir

    Anita Dunn is just another is a series of left-wing political operatives working for President Obama. Her history with the Democratic LEFT is long an renown. What go her in trouble was taking on Fox News.

    A veteran political operative, Dunn, as interim White House Communications Director, took the lead in the Obama administration’s struggle with the Fox News Channel[7] On Sunday, October 11, 2009, she appeared on CNN‘s Reliable Sources and was asked to clarify a statement she made to Time magazine regarding Fox News, “it’s opinion journalism masquerading as news.”[8] She responded by saying, “if you were a Fox News viewer in the fall election, what you would have seen would have been that the biggest stories and biggest threats facing America were a guy named Bill Ayers and something called ACORN. The reality of it is that Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.”[9] She added, “And it’s not ideological. Obviously, there are many commentators who have conservative, liberal, centrist, and everybody understands that. But I think what is fair to say about FOX and certainly the way we view it is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party.”[10]

    On June 5, 2009, Dunn delivered a speech to students at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School of Potomac, Maryland, in which she stated that Mao Zedong was one of her “favorite political philosophers”.[11] Four days after Dunn had appeared on CNN‘s Reliable Sources (i.e., October 15, 2009), Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck aired a clip on his show of that speech criticizing her for that and other statements.[12][13] In response to the criticism, Dunn said “The use of the phrase ‘favorite political philosophers’ was intended as irony…”[14]. She also stated that “the Mao quote is one I picked up from the late Republican strategist Lee Atwater.”[15]

    The Washington Post reported on November 10, 2009 that Dunn will step down by the end of November and be replaced by her deputy Dan Pfeiffer.[16]

    So, Dunn is out and Obama has yet another LEFTY ideologue exposed. What else is new for Obama and his Chicagoland political operation?

    Anita Dunn might just help in some mail pieces and television political ads going into 2010.

    I am positive that we will see and hear from Dunn and her Mao quote again.
