Mitt Romney’s unfortunate word choice

I lived in Utah for about 15 years --- and the Mormons are known for their history of being
racist - only allowing Blacks to enter the priesthood in the 70s with pressure from the Feds. I'm sure Romney grew up hearing that phrase with Utah roots from his father and strong Mormon connections - so, it just slipped out. It's no doubt ingrained in his psyche ---- he can't help it.

I applaud his statement. Fortunately --in America-- we do not have to yield to 'political correctness'.

This story is an excellent example of the abusive nature of the media. It validates that today’s so called “reporters”; are no longer mindful of the long standing standards of reporting. They completely ignore the tradition of accuracy and credibility in their reporting. The focus has become promotion of a liberal agenda at any cost; even creating a complete lie. No longer do you see facts reported with resources and support materials to verify the truth of the article.
This passage, because it is not an article, illustrates the lack of fairness in reporting. Mr. Krumboltz asserts that the phrase is from the KKK in the 1920s. He implies that he is factually correct and true based on what he misunderstands as the Romney campaign phrase, “Keep America, America”.
Based on this, Mr. Krumboltz accuses the Romney campaign of being racist, anti gay, anti Semitic and even anti-Catholic; based on the association of this phrase with the KKK. He cites other “pseudo-news” organizations that have reported the same thing. It would seem that he forgot to check his sources and verify his facts.
Unless something appears in the editorial section of a newspaper or online news service, it should factually report a story WITHOUT the political leanings of the reporter. A reporter, reports. They should not interpret through the prism of their personal life or personal beliefs. Furthermore, they should make sure they are at least right about the essential facts of their story.
Mr. Krumboltz should take a page out of MSNBC’s actions. When MSNBC realized they had incorrectly reported the information on the same story; they apologized and corrected their error. It did not eradicate the damage done by their inaccuracy or the fact that not everyone will know it was a complete falsehood. But they made an attempt to correct the record. They apologized, and tried to correct what was said.
Mr. Krumboltz, have some respect for those that went before you. Correct your story, apologize publicly with the same fervor you promoted your misrepresentation of facts; and in the future – check your facts and leave your opinions on the editorial page.

Why is this even news?

Why is every word or phrase that a Republican may or may not have said scrutinized going back umpteen years, yet the Obungles of Obama are buried under the carpet as though they are nothing? The same goes for the words of any Democrat, any corruption they are involved in, etc.
