WaPo's Richard Cohen disingenuously claims to stand with Rev. Jones.

Having cited the constitutional rights of Ground Zero mosque proponents to build a mosque wherever they want and calling opponents ignorant bigots, Cohen compares Jones to runaway slave John Brown, who was admired by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.

Jones has little in common with a murderous runaway slave. And Cohen has even less in common with Emerson or Thoreau.
