"Let a hundred flowers blossom."
- Communist Murderer Mao Zedong
"Let a million flowers bloom."
- Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks
Mao Zedong, one of the worst murderers in mankind's history, probably the worst. We don't even know how many people he actually killed. The usual number is between, what, 50 and 70 million? To put that into perspective, that would be 10 to 12 times as many people that killed -- that were murdered by Adolf Hitler in the Holocaust. Ten to 12 times.
Would you be a little alarmed if somebody in the White House had cited Adolf Hitler in a speech to high school students as the person they turn to the most? What is the difference? Mao was worse. Plus, he took away the freedom of hundreds of millions of Chinese, and now he's being revered? How did we get here?
That was a quote. The brutality. The gulags. The re-education camps.
America, how many radicals is it going to take? They will drag you to reform if they have to. We're talking about revolutionaries that idolize Mao. This man is a committed communist revolutionary! He also loves Mao! It's insanity!
Got you! Adam Brandon, press secretary for Dick Armey's FreedomWorks, really did garble five words from Mao to praise the National Tea Party Convention. But the four paragraphs after that, where I went off like a capon, were taken word-for-word from Glenn Beck.
He wasn't talking about Adam Brandon. He was talking about eight words from Mao ("You fight your war, and I'll fight mine") spoken last June by White House Communications Director Anita Dunn.
Makes him sound sort of silly doesn't it?
Is this really how we're going to play from now on? No ideas. No debate. Just gotcha? And not even clever gotcha. Just anything someone can take out of context, pretend to not understand, and re-sell to the stupid and the scared.
If you quote Mao, and I catch you, you like ten times the Holocaust? It's worse than dirty pool; it's puerile. It makes democracy look dumb. What kind of fool, hysteric or gutless coward could take something like that seriously?
And then Barack Obama fired Anita Dunn.
Got you!
I am so sick of these tea party Repbulicans and all their outlandish remarks.
Some drink from the fountain of knowledge, but it looks like you just gargled.
These people seem to be itching for a fight with the government. I think the government should give them that fight. If they truly think that violence is the solution, let's let them test their theory.
The government can give everyone who thinks health care reform is a good thing a round-trip ticket to the tropical paradise of our choice. When the government has ended the teabaggers, we can all come back, and enjoy affordable health care.
Another flawed reference to the number of people killed by Hitler in WWII. Although all we usually hear about is the 6 million jews killed (a number you use in your calculations), the commonly accepted number of people Hitler killled was 12 million. As tragic as the deaths of 6 millions jews were, just as tragic were the 6 million non jews killed, and they should not be forgotten.
Shame on us.
And all of the sheep will line up behind them and be led into the false * good * plan that the GOP has in store for them.....
They will be told that they don't health care reform and when the health care system bubble bursts , they will blame it on the Dems. and the sheep will believe them....
They will tell them the financial system is OK just like McCain did on the Campaign trail and the sheep will believe them and buy, buy, buy, buy to sink themselves and the banks even further underground, the GOP will tell them it is the Dems. fault and the sheep will believe them...
One day when the sheep wake up or find ourselves in the deepest recession in history , who's fault will it be , the sheep will have to take responsibility at that time because they listened to the GOP when all the GOP wants is Power.. not to do all they can to rebuild this Country that we all have to live in and want it to be what it once was ... prosperous and free from debt to the rest of the world ..
These fools perhaps. (Youtube has removed the video from their site, not sure why?)

If you want to understand this Tea Party movement, you will want to watch this video.
This is NOT the Ron Paul movement, this is Dick Armey and the CCC.
Pray tell.
WE are his 300 million victims.
silver tongued devil, false prophet, biggest con man who ever walked, got TRILLIONS out of America for a small group of Banksters and Executives
Beck is a shock-jock. He says things that further his entertainment agenda. He is not an expert on policy or strategy. He is a fool and so are the people who listen to him. Unfortunately, he is a success. But that is bad for America.
is your homie bush who did that a facist
so much so they are willing to spit on the Constitution to get their hands of 20 % of the population who can't afford insurance because they are underemployed or unemployed by MAKING THEM BUY a shady, shoddy product with no price caps!
Corporations control the Red/Blue ONE party system of Political Monopoly with money, lies, and liars
"The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Tse-tung and Mother Theresa -- not often coupled with each other, but the two people I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point which is 'you're going to make choices; you're going to challenge; you're going to say why not; you're going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before."
Any person can have ideas that you like. Even those who's actions were horrible. It doesn't mean that you "love" them. I guess that subtlety is lost on people like Beck .. and at least one commenter here.
