Since Glenn Beck and FoxNews can lay claim to the "dismissal" (yes, he was ordered to resign) of Van Jones, I'll let Mr Beck tell us what we learned about going after race-baiters such as Mr Jones.
There is another lesson, however. Jones, like Obama, is an Ivy Leaguer, a "Stepford Jefferson" without any street cred. Both Obama's cabinets, front office and kitchen, are filled with this type...filled with anger (see Vassar's
"Mother of all Liberalism" to better understand this rage), but also, being middle class..as was Marx, as was Lenin, as was Castro, as was almost everyone who signed up to follow the path of get-evenism, never having really grabbed any bull by the horns...which is not the same as grabbing a 'ho by the ears.
Some of the old Black Panthers from the 70's must have to really stifle the chuckles listening to thes eguys talk tough. My dad said at the American Legion after WWII it was the reservists who talked that way. Same oh, same-oh.
More on this type later as a profile is beginning to develop, but understanding that "type" is a lesson we can learn.
As for the lessons
they learned: 1) use pseudonyms when possible, 2) never sign anything you aren't willing to die to defend 3) and never, never stand up in front of a crowd and talk that tough talk without first clearing the room of all cell-phobes, videos, tape recorders etc. Dump the vanity trips.
Even as I write this, Obama talent teams are revising their search criteria to find people have been less, even in-conspicuous with their racism and leftism...although they did get the hint from the mainstream media that calling Republicans "a-holes" and signing onto the 9/11 Doubters theory was seen as much worse than you know, throwing out the Constitution and replacing it with a race-based, get-even Marxist regime. Hell, they may try to run it past us again.
Still, I think they will try to be less noticeable. Again based on the notion that Van Jones was a type, a very ordinary type, not particularly smart or bright, but yes, "artikulat" as Rev Al is wont to say, a replacement should be easy to find. They may even run across my son's name. (We have our sleepers, too.) In terms of pure quality the average 19 year old in Mom's basement could replace him.
Lesson learned? Be more like Al Qaida, and less like Erkel.
