Glenn Beck, on his October 22 television show, told viewers he has said "too much". This statement proceeded a mysterious phone call that Beck answered live during his show with the message that the husband of White House Communications Director and FOX news attacker, Anita Dunn is getting a new job. According to Beck, a huge announcement is pending regarding Anita Dunn's husband, Robert Bauer's new "controversial" job.
But for some, Bauer's wife, Anita Dunn, is already fraught with controversy and Bauer, too, may have enough issues of his own.
There's Bauer's various associations with President Obama that has some raising their eyebrows. From Law.com:
"Robert Bauer has gone from being general counsel of Obama's presidential campaign to serving as GC of the Democratic National Committee. Bauer, 57, is also the top lawyer at Organizing for America (the rechristened version of the president's campaign vehicle), and continues to represent Obama on personal matters such as the corruption investigation of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. Plus, Bauer works full-time at Perkins Coie, where he chairs the firm's political law group."
Perkins Coie is also the law firm defending President Obama against legal challenges to his "natural born" citizenship status. Some have also pointed out how Federal Election Commission records show Obama has given Perkins Coie over $600,000 this year and more than a million dollars since last October.
Additionally, Perkins Coie's has defended the controversial poltical organization, ACORN. When Robert Bauer was Obama's campaign lawyer, he sent a seven-page letter to the attorney general in reference to "unsupported, spurious allegations" being made against ACORN. The law firm of Perkins Coie also represented ACORN in a court case which has been described as protecting "the right to vote in Ohio".
If Glenn Beck's phone call message contained breaking news, will Anita Dunn's husband prove to be another stumbling block for the White House director of communications-- along with the controversy surrounding her previous statements?
Dunn on FOX News:
FOX news was characterized by Dunn as an "arm of the Republican Party" and "opinion #journalism masquerading as news."-- Anita Dunn
Dunn on Mao Tse-tung:
Anita Dunn refers to comments about Mao Tse-tung delivered to high school students in earlier this year as "ironic".
"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."-- Anita Dunn
And...
Dunn on Obama’s presidential campaign controlling the media:
"Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control." One of the reasons we did so many of the David Plouffe videos was not just for our supporters, but also because it was a way for us to get our message out without having to actually talk to reporters." "We just put that out there and made them write what Plouffe had said as opposed to Plouffe doing an interview with a reporter. So it was very much we controlled it as opposed to the press controlled it."-- Anita Dunn (video)
