Political power

Isn't it interesting that the administration who quotes Mao saying "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" wants to restrict the access of guns to people?

Just saying.

Is there any credible source for that alleged quote?

Manufacturing Czar Ron Bloom, another Anita Dunn Mao Tse Tung lover in Obama's whitehouse - YouTube

Beck, right-wing media bring Mao attack to "manufacturing czar" Bloom, ignoring conservatives who have cited Mao | Research | Media Matters for America

BLOOM: The second thing about us is we've decided to get on the field. Some unions and our union, in fact, some years ago, largely played defense in these situations. We had what we had and we tried to protect it. What we realized through long and often painful experience is that management matters, business strategy matters, capital structure matters, ownership matters. We spent a long time trying to clean up the messes that others had left us. And so now we try to create our own messes. This is more dangerous politically, it's more difficult. It has higher risk. We think it has higher reward. But in any event, in these cases where we can be on the field, you should expect to find us on the field.

Generally speaking, we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market, or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money because they're convinced that there is a free lunch. We know this is largely about power, that it's an adults-only, no-limit game. We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun. And we get it that if you want a friend you should get a dog.

Taking things out of context is the sin of lying by omission.
