This helps explain why the political left is so upset about Mr.
Jones's resignation. Listen to David Sirota, another left-wing think-
tank denizen and activist, who wrote the following Sunday on the
Huffington Post Web site:
"Finally, the Jones announcement will inevitably create a chilling
effect on the aspirations of other movement progressives. Van is a
fantastic person who has done fantastic work. He's kept his advocacy
real and didn't compromise his principles. And so when he was
appointed to a high-level White House job, it seemed to validate
that you could, in fact, keep it real and also advance in American
politics and government. That is to say, his story seemed to prove
that an outsider could also succeed on the inside—and that outside
advocacy doesn't automatically prohibit you from one day working on
the inside."
Interesting. Though I suppose once could see this as positive sign,
that Obama willing to abandon the Radical Left when they get out of
line. :-)
