By now you probably have heard about the MSNBC drive-by aimed at Mitt Romney; the one that said he used the same slogan on the campaign trail as the Ku Klux Klan used to use. Well, not really. MSNBC got the “story” from a liberal blog which claimed that Romney had used the term “keep America American” during a campaign speech. The blog said he did it twice, once last year and then against this month. The blog then said, correctly, that “Keep America American” was a phrase used by the Ku Klux Klan back in the 1920s.
