And I can show you pictures of Bush meeting with Chirac, with Byrd, and with Daschle. Meeting with does not mean endorsing or approving. Your post left the impression that Harding hosted the KKK the way Bush would host a prayer meeting or welcome the Tampa Bay Bucs, when in reality if the meeting ever happened it was far more likely to have been a business type meeting with an(at the time) influential group(just like him meeting with Abbas this week) in an attempt to negotiate or discuss some issue. That is what Presidents do. Until you can explain what the meeting is about, given Harding's documented words and actions on race at other times, your implication appears misleading and wrong.

Good point, whether or not that photo/meeting exists/happened. President Harding was very popular among blacks, so this KKK biz is dubious at best.
