Obama Communications Director Anita Dunn: Mao Tse-tung "Favorite Philosopher"

So here is White House Communications Director Anita Dunn saying that Mao Tse-tung is one of her two "favorite philosophers." She then quotes him and holds him up as a role model for the students to whom she is speaking.

Well, what can I say? Is anybody listening? Anyone? Anywhere? Is this the kind of thing those of you on the left defend? Does it at all matter to you that Barack Obama has friends, allies and appointees who are avowed communists? Do you care that this appointee, Dunn, admires someone who murdered more people than Hitler?

Dunn also has a very strange and annoying habit of licking her lips noticeably and gratuitously every five seconds or so. This is definitely not a psychologically healthy woman.

Getting back to the rest of you on the left, you'd better think very carefully about whom you're supporting and why. Not only are you sowing the seeds of your own destruction, but when history is finally written, you won't be remembered kindly.

Choose wisely.

Congressman Jack Murtha Subverts Democracy

This is Congressman Jack Murtha (D-Pa.), dirtbag to end all dirtbags, subverting democracy by simply ignoring the votes of the people's duly elected representatives.  This is a truly shocking video that illustrates the utter lack of respect people such as Murtha have for our system of government.

Where are the French revolutionaries and the guillotines when you need them?

It seems as if multiculturalism is working beautifully to bring people together

Together, that is, for a battle royale.

Song: "Obama Man" by Greg Morton
This is from a while back, but it is very funny. If you haven't heard it yet, enjoy.

Schoolchildren Taught to Praise Obama

Here is yet another video of a leftist government schoolteacher brainwashing children and teaching them to praise Mr. Hussein.

Even more significant than this, however, is how YouTube is obviously cooking the video statistics so as to benefit Obama.  As of 1:04 PM Eastern Time today, the video's hit counter listed only 363 views but 2,279 comments.  Now, since comments always represent only a few percent of the total traffic, the most likely scenario is that YouTube — owned by leftist leviathan Google — is purposely suppressing the true hit number so as to keep the video off its main page and avoid exposing yet another ugly truth about the left. 

Disgusting, but par for the course for the shameless liars who run these companies.

Wild, Wild Kanye West

By Selwyn Duke

Everyone has seen the video of Kanye West running up onto the stage and snatching the microphone away from 19-year-old country music star Taylor Swift at Sunday's MTV video music awards.  West wasn't happy with the choice of Swift as winner and went into a rant about how Beyoncé should have won.  Now, just for the record, I've heard neither Swift nor Beyoncé sing and thus can't render any definitive judgments on this subject.  What I do know, however, is that I wouldn't consider it positive if an over-rated oaf like West was lobbying for me.

Mmm . . . Tastes like Liberal Journalist — Lion Samples Daily Telegraph Reporter

There are certain things I wouldn't do.  For instance, I just always realized that works such as The Lion King were fantasy and that it's probably not a good idea to think you can reason with an African lion (it took me a few years longer to understand that the same thing applies to liberals, even though they exist, lamentably, beyond the realm of fantasy).  Thus, I would never get into an enclosure with a wild beast that could rip me to shreds (Siegfried & Roy, anyone?).  Yet this is exactly what the Daily Telegraph writer featured in this video did — and he learned that a lion's conception of play is just a bit different from ours.

But, hey, this guy certainly proved he's a man.  I just feel so inadequate now, albeit wholly intact.

Congressman John Conyers' Wife Pleads Guilty to Accepting Bribes
Monica Conyers, wife of Rep. John Conyers and Detroit City Council member, has just pled guilty to awarding a sludge contract to a Houston company in exchange for cash bribes.  It is an offense punishable with up to five years in prison.

In reality, this video has nothing to do with her malfeasance; it does, however, perfectly illustrate the kind of person she is.  In it she attacks a fellow council member, calling him "Shrek."  She also complains about how he was "disrespectin'" her.  Well, although I wouldn't be surprised if she wriggles out of prison time, I'd like to see how much she be respected in the big house.

If you're wondering why I've covered this, it's just because I want to return the favor.  After all, during the immigration debate in 2007, Rep. Conyers cited me on the House floor, saying:

In the current debate on immigration, for example, conservative commentator Selwyn Duke just yesterday inveighed against any immigration (legal or not). He warned, ‘‘[R]eplace our population with a Mexican or Moslem one and you no longer have a western civilization, you no longer have America. You have Mexico North or Iran West.’’

As we have heard in other hearings before this Subcommittee, however, nothing can be further from the truth.

So now I want to give him some exposure as well.  And since he was kind in his rejection of my incisive commentary, I'll return that favor also.  Rep. Conyers, there are no hard feelings whatsoever.  If you have to be married to the harridan in the above video, you have my sympathy, buddy.  You have my sympathy.

 You know, given that Rep. Conyers will actually have some peace if his better half does a stretch, I can just see him lobbying on her behalf: "Listen, if you give her more than five years, I'm reeeeeally going to be upset!  Really, really upset.  I dare you!"

Barbara "Call Me Senator" Boxer Shows Disrespect to Brigadier General
In this video, the odious, imperious Barbara Boxer takes offense at being addressed as "ma'am" by a very respectful brigadier general. She actually interrupted his testimony to condescendingly demand that he call her by her title, "senator." Well, I could think of a few other things to call her.

It seems to elude this very ignorant politician that military men are trained to refer to superiors as "sir" and "ma'am"; it is subordinates who are addressed with titles (e.g., private, lieutenant). And Dictionary.com defines the term in this manner: "ma'am n. Used as a form of polite address for a woman." So, Boxer should realize . . . . Well, then again, maybe she's right. Maybe "ma'am" isn't an appropriate thing to call her.

Boxer is a typical feminist woman, the kind who would probably get upset if you held a door for her (I know what I would do with the door, too). If I had been the general, I would have replied to her request with, "Yes, ma'am" and then continued without missing a beat.

O'Reilly and Slate.com's Joan Walsh Go at it Over Tiller and Late Term Abortions
I don't know if any of you caught this O'Reilly segment last night, but Joan Walsh of left-wing e-rag Salon.com epitomizes everything that is wrong with the media. I'm not sure if she's worse than that odious foreigner Arianna Huffington, but she certainly gives her a run for her money (which, incidentally, Huffington has a lot of).

Walsh is a truly dishonest, vile, annoying woman. I feel sorry for her husband.
