Obama’s capitulation in the face of the coordinated assault on Van Jones may very well spell the end of his Administration. It put out a signal of weakness that the Republicans will understand perfectly. Jones did and said nothing that Republicans don’t say and do every day. Republicans are assholes. He was right about that. When was the last time a Republican had to resign for calling Democrats enablers of terrorists? Weakness begets weakness. If Obama doesn’t have the back of his followers, pretty soon-very soon- they won’t have his. And since Beltway Democrats always stand aside when their own are attacked, that means he’ll have nobody.
Obama has done a lot of misguided things since he was inaugurated, but this one tastes the worst of all. This is an Administration that does not understand what it is up against, and doesn’t know how to fight the forces arrayed against it. When you surrender to Glenn Beck you have lost not just a battle, you have lost the war.
