Yes, it was used by the Klan and other hate groups in the early part of the last century.

So, the MSNBSocialist reporter was wrong to call Romney a racist (agree, he was wrong), but not wrong that it was a KKK slogan?
changes the story abit, but still doesn't make Mitt a racist. |

He didn't call Romney a racist....he just brought up the story that the slogan was used by the KKK......which could be insinuating that he's a racist.....but they never actually called him that.
I mean its not a leap to think that when reading the story... |

No, but it is irresponsible journalism and they should apologize...oops, looks like they already did.
Hell, even Al Sharpton wouldn't run with it
