AP: Mass. Democrats Angered by 'KKK' Joke---

BOSTON - Gov. Mitt Romney was introduced at a Washington luncheon as the head of a state run by the "modern-day KKK ... the Kennedy-Kerry Klan," drawing rebukes from Democrats and Romney himself.

The comment was made by Gerald Walpin, a New Yorker who is a board member at the conservative law group the Federalist Society, where Romney spoke Thursday.

"Today when most of the country thinks of who controls Massachusetts, I think the modern-day KKK comes to mind — the Kennedy-Kerry Klan," Walpin said, according to Keith Appell, a GOP consultant who works for the Federalist Society.

The Democrats were the party of Segregation, not the Republicans. It was a Republican President who waged the War Between the States. People like Strom Thurmond, who were segregationists, were DEMOCRATS at the time.
