Good God, do politicians EVER listen to themselves? Form this BBC article:
The UK faces a “catastrophe” of floods, droughts and killer heatwaves if world leaders fail to agree a deal on climate change, the prime minister has warned. Gordon Brown said negotiators had 50 days to save the world from global warming and break the “impasse”.
You know, this “DO IT NOW!” strategy worked soooooo well for Obama on health care reform. Lets hope Brown meets with similar success.
PS. BTW, where’s the global warming…
PS. HaHa!
First you had Van Jones, now this.
Another Obama appointee has stepped into the spotlight of stupidity recently. Anita Dunn, the temporary White House communications advisor recycled from the Carter administration (OK, that sets off warning bells already), said in a speech earlier in the year that Mao Tse Tung is on of her favorite philosophers. Sung gave the orders that led to the slaughter of perhaps as many as 20 million Chinese citizens. The Washington Examiner has featured a piece that suggests that Dunn isn’t aware of Mao’s history. If you watch the video clip where she declares Mao and Mother Teresa as her favorite philosophers, it’s clear by the “well, you wouldn’t normally see these two together” bit. that she does know of his history. What is it about the philosophies of murderous dictators and revolutionaries that the left find so appealing. Che Guevara comes to mind. I have no problem with studying the philosophies of those types of people. You should, if only to see how ideas of thought and politics can be used and twisted to justify evil and brutality. But how does one latch on tp Mao as a “favorite” philosopher, when there are so many better choices. And it’s not as if Mao’s ideas were novel; many of his ideas are lifted from Leninist and Marxist screed. I’m not an expert on philosophy, but surely there must be someone better out there to admire other than Mao. Anyway, I don’t think that Dunn is ignorant of Mao’s murderous past; she just doesn’t care.
Why does it seem, that the more knowledgeable a left wing official is, the worse their judgment. I’m really beginning to have a want for the good old days, when White House staff just didn’t know anything.
UPDATE: Dunn was channeling the late Republican Devil Lee Attwater. That is what she claims, according to Britt Hume and Fox news. Of course, the irony her is that, since it’s being reported on Fox news, well, it can’t be trusted! And I wouldn’t count on the MSM to actually verify the Attwater quote…. They haven’t been too good about that lately! (Hat Tip: Insta-P)
