Filling in for “Hardball’s” Chris Matthews, Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart told viewers Thursday night that he has faced an onslaught of racial attacks since his editorial this week debunked Ferguson protesters’ “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative.

In the Post op-ed published Monday, Mr. Capehart argued that 18-year-old Michael Brown did not have his hands in the air when he was fatally shot by police, writing that former Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson was justified in the killing.

During his monologue Thursday night, Mr. Capehart mentioned how actress Ashley Judd announced this week that she is pressing charges against online harassers for what she calls “gender violence.”

You should be a freedom-loving, white conservative American and see what they call you. If you don’t accept their chains of communism, you’re an evil “racist”.

“People call me ‘house negro’ for debunking ‘hands up, don’t shoot”

If a white person tells the truth the media call him racist. If a black person tells the truth the media calls him a ‘house negro’.

Under the new lieberal speak definitions it maybe a badge of honor to be called a racist/house negro. Can one be both at the same time? I mean Bill Clinton was the first black president. Why can’t us ‘racists’ be as house nijja’s as well? Sign me up.

Go with the flow.
The correct response
to “you’re a racist,”
is “so what?”

Let’s invite him over to Fox News. He can be another Juan Williams.

Do liberals give any credit to Fox for giving Juan Williams a job after he was summarily fired from liberal PBS???

Truth and reality are not the issue of concern to the communist party of today, it is the narrative chosen by the thought control commissars that must blindly be followed and repeated. Pray for guidance.

They have to make an example of him. You can’t have columnists pointing out that the party narrative doesn’t match the facts.

Wouldn’t be prudent.

We, on the other hand, should make a point of defending him.

It took courage for Jonathan Capehart to tell the truth... he lives within a liberal elite world - and those folks aren’t nice to anyone who strays from the party line.

You are correct. The truth should be encouraged. Lies have held sway for far too long.
