Jonathan Capeheart, MSNBC denizen, hard-core Obama supporter, defender of all things black and gay and progressive – and usually insufferable about it – told the truth today. He tweeted that this column on Ferguson (vindicating what we “Right-Wing-Nut-Jobs” have been saying all along!) was ‘the hardest piece he ever wrote’. It’s not often you find a hard-core – and I mean hard-core – lefty willing to tell the truth but Jonathan Capeheart did it in this article and notched several levels of newfound esteem & admiration from me, thus, this post.

Way to go, young man!

J. Capeheart just earned a HUGE lift in respect from me for this. HUGE -> ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ was Built on a Lie http://t.co/4P066c3NGC
