Republican Haley Barbour, governor of Mississippi and prospective 2012 GOP presidential candidate, recently gave an interview in which he lied about his personal history and rewrote the history of the civil rights movement. Rachel Maddow did her homework, as she usually does, and dismantled his story. The link below is to the segment from her show. It's long, but worth it.

"It does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are 20 gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket, nor breaks my leg."
