MSNBC Host: Right to Work Came From 'Segregationist White Supremacist South' By Elizabeth Harrington December 17, 2012
(CNSNews.com) MSNBCs Chris Hayes said on Sunday he is uncomfortable using the phrase right-to-work because it has its origins in the segregationist white supremacist south.
Im not going to use the phrase [right to work] that is commonly used because it is such a ridiculouslet me just give people a little bit of history here, Hayes said on his show, Up With Chris Hayes. He made the comment in connection with Michigans new right-to-work law.
The phrase is coined by a guy by the name of Vance Muse, who is an oil industry lobbyist in Houston, Texas in the 1930s who is a white supremacist and segregationist, who -- thats what the term was first brought into use, to fight against unions as sites of forced racial integration, he said.
The origin of this movement is an origin of the movement of the segregationist white supremacist south against the labor union as a site of forced racial integration.
Thats the genesis of this, just so you understand where this phrase comes from and why Im uncomfortable calling it by what it is, Hayes added.

Was this article a direct quote? If so, I think Hayes flunked English grammar and public speaking in HS and college (if he went to one.)
Jeez, another rogue Comcast employee...
He leaves out that Muse was a Democrat.

Who in the hell gives a dam where the phrase came from?
Was all those things,perhaps but the man has been dead since 1950 also not mentioned, how convenient too, the man was a democrat.
Who in the hell gives a dam where the phrase came from?
The right to work law is to keep the union con men from running their payola schemes in Michigan.
Hey Mr. Hayes, guess where the KKK came from?
I used to raise my children to have an open mind about people’s politics. Now I tell them to have nothing to do with Democrats. They are liars and people who enjoy lies. Do not date Democrats, befriend them or hire them. EVER. THey are simply deranged, the way they lie. It is a mental disorder.. no doubt about it.
Let those states that wish to leave secede from the United States

In Bodie, Calif., and probably most other mining towns in the old West, it was the unions who enforced racial segregation. Chinese immigrants were kept out of the mines by not being allowed to join the miner’s union.
Liberal speaker: I am unable to counter my conservative opponent's argument with facts or logic, so I will simply call him a racist.
First, these MSNBC hosts (or parasites) need to get their facts straight. But the DNC propaganda machine isn’t interested in the truth when it doesn’t comport with its collectivist worldview.
Its like when they declare that Hitler broke the unions.
The reality is that he disbanded the individual trade and labor unions to brig them together under the German labor front.
The libs over at MSNBC are certifiable whack jobs. I haven’t watched them since the’ 08 election. NBC ought to be embarrassed.
You mean the solid Democrat south? The ONLY reason the Klan subsided, and the lynchings and church-bombings ceased, is because blacks became a reliable Democrat vote. Trust me, if blacks start voting above 30% black again, you’ll see a revival of the KKK.
Even if no one up there gets their way completely, they have done a pretty good job of destroying America which is what their purpose was to begin with.
Neither Sen. Taft nor Rep. Hartley were from the South.
