  • The wolves are guarding the henhouse...God save our republic and uphold its principle of freedom from tyrants!

  • Love the way she tries to sweeten it by throwing in Mother Teresa. This woman should be fired, pronto.

  • Her use of polar opposites - in this case, one greatly admired person and one widely despised - is an old speech-writer's trick for keeping the interest of the audience. She wouldn't have picked Mao if she did not think he was "evil" enough to provide a dramatic contrast with the "divine" Mother T. She makes this more clear in a part of the speech that was cut so that you could repeat short cuts multiple times, a common characteristic of propaganda.

  • "Endorsing his philosophy"? She thought ONE THING he said was worth repeating, that's it. There is no endorsement. As for the "favorite philosophers" line, see what I previously said about irony.

  • @SPGhettus

    He never described Mao as one of his favorite political philosophers. Clearly there is a difference between quoting a man and endorsing his philosophy.

  • Wow, what a hack job.

    When a mass-murderer and a saint are mentioned together, one might expect a bit of irony to be involved. Or, one might miss it and instead come to the totally unsupported and ridiculous conclusion that she supports mass murder and communism.

    In her reply, she says the first person she heard use Mao's quote was the late Lee Atwater, adviser to Reagan and former RNC head. Funny how no one used it against him.
